Are email alerts for thread updates a feature of this forum? I see no option for that in the account settings.

Yes. It is called email subscription. And you can subscribe to a thread, a folder, or the whole forum. And you can get notifications for each post or a daily summary.

If you want to subscribe to a specific thread, at the top of the thread to the right is an Options link. And in it is "Subscribe via Email".

Or, if you want to subscribe to the folder that several threads are in you click on the Options link, but it is on the left this time.

Last, you could subscribe to the whole forum by going to the main page and clicking Options/Subscribe via Email.

So, here's an example. Let's say you want to subscribe to the eBay, Craigslist, Facebook, & Kijiji Finds folder so you see the things people find. Go to the main page/Marketplace/eBay, Craigslist, Facebook, & Kijiji Finds and then subscribe. Or subscribe at the Marketplace level, which also gets 4 other folders, like Want To Buy.
