Is there anyway to be notified when someone replies or quote-replies to a post you've made? I've looked everywhere and can't seem to find that option. (It's probably staring at me right in the face and I just don't see it).

I'm a way low-tech person, but what I do is subscribe to a thread in which I care what other people have to say in response to my post. That way there's a notice when you arrive at AW and go to Settings, telling you a subscribed thread has a new message.

Most threads die down and there's no need to unsubscribe because they're inactive. Ones that go on long after my interest has waned, I unsubscribe.

How do I subscribe, you ask? At the top of the thread's first post, Thread Tools has a dropdown menu that includes Subscribe to Thread.

Maryn, who figured some stuff out

Thank you! Duh. I should have read this. It doesn't look like there's a way to only be notified if someone replies to your own post? If not, that's okay. I guess I should turn on auto-subscribe with daily summary reports.

Please only subscribe to the threads you're seriously interested in following. We have to pay for emails sent by the server, and with a large membership, it gets not only expensive, it's a burden on the server.

Yeah, I read that in one of the FAQs after I posted that. I just do control panel notifications (only have email for my single SYW thread). I’m getting the hang. :tongue
