Can you get an email when someone replies to your post?

Sorry but i can't find a "forum problems" forum. So can you you get some kind of reply when your post is quoted instead of delving through page after page?

Please move as appropriate.

No, only if someone replies to the thread. (Which I assume you know how to do - Thread tools, then "subscribe to this thread" in the top right hand corner of the thread page.)

You cna use Thread Tools to search within the thread, so you could go that way?

Ok thanks. I think we need a more superior search function in this day and age though.

I see that but does it allow you to search all post that have been quoted("from you") by others? I don't think so.

Rroff · 1 Apr 2012 at 19:27

Search for "Originally Posted by <username>" ?

EDIT: Doh those terms are "too long or too common"

There was a thread about quote notifications last week, not sure what happened in it mind.

Makhaira · 1 Apr 2012 at 19:31

Just search for your username as a keyword.

Oh, and less of the attitude maybe when people are trying to help you OP?

Maybe your mail provider views the volume you must get as spam?

You may have a point because I'm not getting them off another 2 forums either.

I was joking when I said that, lol. I guess you could try whitelisting the forums in question and see if that helps? Or change your contact email temporarily to another provider, see if you get updates, then at least you know whether it's an issue on your forum accounts or your email!

I FOUND THEM.

It's been many years since I went on Virgins Email site and my settings have changed.
They are all in spam and never got passed onto my POP3 but it only happened last week :confused:

Bugger. If you can go IMAP, make the switch. I've never looked back!
