There is no such feature as far as I know. Admin officially announce in forum through starting a thread if any update or any contest starts here.

There is subscribing feature when someone reply your answer in question answer section, when you get comment in article section and on some other places as well.

But there is no such option of subscription when site introduce something like contest and other updates.

Provided one clicks on the check box just below the this box.

Yes SJ... We can subscribe for threads as well.

But no option to subscribe about contests news and other stuff like that.

Absolutely.  But that would be good if admin think of some notification feature if anything new starts on this site.

Yes.. That can be a good idea. By this way users will not miss any new and important thing happening on this site.

The best way to keep updated is to log in often and check different topics/tabs, rest of the ways have already been mentioned here. The thread is locked.
