Yes.
User CP (User Control Panel) link on the top left, then scroll down until you see "Options" on the left and click that. Scroll down the page to the section that says "
Default Thread Subscription Mode" and set the drop-down to "Instant e-mail notification" to get an email right away (other options to determine how often you wish to be notified by default). When you create a new thread or respond to an existing one, this is how you will be subscribed to it.
