Not sure if it is related, and this post will likely fix it, but I haven't been getting email notifications from The Thread, since it was resurrected. I know some people turn that off, but I leave it on, because that's how I know it is time to catch up.
I think all subscriptions to the thread were either restored as subscriptions without notification or lost; it's easy enough to change your subscription using topic options on any page of the thread or any other topic you want to change them on.
