Where Is It? Email Notifications?

This message appears on the drop down menu under "My Chow / notifications"
" You are currently not receiving email updates on any CHOW items. "

What dioes this mean? There is no apparent notification feature.

Why isn't there a notification system? It's the single most basic feature of any board or list on the web and CHOWHOUND doesn't have it?

Why? (How small time can you get?)
