I've wondered the same thing. The only thing I've found is when you post a response and/or start a topic, you are given the option at the very bottom if you want to be notified via email of responses. I did that for a while, but my email was getting soooo full of those notoification emails, that I decided not to do that anymore.
I can't find anything in our control panel that gives us the option though.

on the top of EVERY thread there is a little drop down arrow. It's somewhat hidden though actually cause I can't find the code to replace that color. But at the top, where the title of this thread is displayed in white on the black line, to the right is the arrow. Click that and then you can subscribe to this topic or any topic using that.
Looks like we posted at the same time Travis lol.
Anyways, thanks for answering that question. I now see the little arrow you were talking about.
