Hi. Sorry if this is written somewhere obvious and I have just missed it. But is there a way to be notified by email when someone posts on a thread you've either started or replied on? Many thanks in advance.  |

- Step One:Go to your PROFILE, and notice where it says: Member's Bio - Modify Profile - Bookmarks Go there and click on "Bookmarks". Then click where it says "Click here to manage your bookmarks preferences." Then you'll see a question asking what type of notification you'd like to receive. Your choices are "no notification", "personal message (PM)" or "email". Select whichever one you want -- Sapphire wants "email". Okay... now your notification method has been selected. This will be your "default" or "automatic" method of notification for ALL threads that you bookmark .. BUT .. you can manually change this for EACH individual thread that you bookmark.
Step Two:go to the thread you are interested in.
At the upper left corner of the thread ... right above the original poster's name ...
or ..
at the bottom of the page ... right below the final poster's name ...
you'll see that you can click on "search" or "bookmark". By clicking on "bookmark", you can save the thread to refer back to later. You can go to your profile and click on bookmarks (as in step one) and then see all the threads you've bookmarked. And if you've already set up notifications in Step One, then any replies to this thread will be sent to you. You can manually edit whether you want notifications on specific threads .... and also manually edit for each thread which TYPE of notification (if any) you want. To manage your bookmarks, be logged on and then go here: takeonestepatatime.proboards80.com/index.cgi?action=managebookmarksOkay ... that's what the directions say. I haven't tried this. Gonna try it now. - |

Update:
It didn't work BECAUSE ... I was testing my own reply to this thread. ... and ....
I went to the support forums for proboards.com to find out why --
and I found out that I won't be notified of MY OWN replies to any thread.
I can be notified by email of OTHER PEOPLE's replies to any thread.
So .. somebody please reply to this thread. I'll let you know if my email notifies me that somebody replied.
