As far as I've been able to figure out, the current method of subscribing to forums and threads only shows a single feed of new comments. The old MCB was set up so that subscribing to a forum would send a daily or weekly digest of new and updated threads, and subscribing to a thread would allow you to look at a feed of threads showing which ones had been updated.
I guess there's two suggestions/requests I have if the new forum software allows it:
1) Make it so subscriptions to forums don't just show every single post to every thread in that forum. Depending on how many threads a forum has it spams up the subscription feed.
2) Hopefully subscriptions to threads can act like they do on PBN and the old MCB by just showing a list of threads.
For example, I subscribed to a few forums only (no threads) and this is what the subscriptions look like:
Here's PBN's thread subscription page:
Here's a forum subscription email from MCB showing which threads are new and updated:
