Awww shucks, guys.
wowunderachiever:
To answer your question, I use a favorites list both here and on Curse (for the few addons I use that are only updated there). I am here so often that I don't bother having the site email me, though that is a great option if you want to be alerted. That way, you don't have to remember to check anything.
You can add an addon to your favorites list by clicking the "Add Favorite" button below the download button on an addon's page. You can then find your favorites list via the menu where your name is at the top right of every screen on the website. (If addons on your list have been updated, a number appears next to your name. This also works for PMs you have received on the site.)
If you want the site to email you when an addon on your favorites list was updated, then go to the
favorites list page, click on Preferences in the left-hand column, and change the option to "yes".
Hope this helps!
