Hi there,

I'd like to know, whether it's possible to get email notifications when someone replies to my post?

I've checked in Post's Options, and in my Profile, but don't see anything like this :(

After you have posted, view the message, you will see a link at the bottom with

Quote:

Watch this topic for replies

if u click it, notifications will be sent.

Thanks a bunch.

A bit unusual, but will get used.

By the way, can I do the same with new posts, not only my new topics.

If I participate in a thread, sometimes it's useful to be aware about the new thoughts about it. Is it possible?

You can set ANY topic to be "Watched", you don't need to have posted it originally or participated.

Hope that helps,

Paul

Originally, it was an option in the profile settings, so that globally whenever you posted to a thread you could get notification, but for whatever reason it was removed

Cyanide is correct. It is called Auto-Watch After Reply. Usually the default is set to No when you register. I always modify my profile and set it to Yes.

As it sets now, you have to click back into the topic and set the Watch Flag. Then another screen pops up telling you that it was set. This is two screens worth of "bandwidth wasting" transmissions too.

This "annoyance" has been mentioned numerous times in the past. It would be nice to have this feature re-instated.
