Got this (notification of 1 reply post, but not your reply on another thread in the same forum). I also did not get a notification for the UIE forum that I'm subscribed to (because I did not respond/visit after an earlier notification). So, it's working as I predicted, and the OP in the other Forum Support thread is just using it wrong, and must have skipped a visit, so he essentially got cut off from further notifications. You get one notice and one notice only (either per forum, or per topic, depending on how you subscribed), and that's final. Visit & notifications resume.
It's moderately useful to Subscribe to Topics, hardly useful to Subscribe to Forums. The only reason for the latter would be if you wanted to know if anyone ever posted to "Pictures of Flanges, Poems about Dental Hygiene, Recipes for Hummus" or another rarely visited forum.
I think we could preliminarily call "CASE CLOSED" on the support issue. Forum behavior, can't be helped. My experience on other forums supports this behavior as being a typical implementation, just not ideal. The Microsoft Community was the only example I can think of that continues to notify you of replies to a thread regardless of whether you return or not.
