forum failing?

[Ken Gargett]

quick query? were we not promised a return to the good old days whereby if someone posted a response to your post, you got notification of it? is it still coming? it was a very useful part of the forum, back in those good old days!

Look at My Controls -> Email Settings

There is a notification by email setting in there, set to no by default.

I think it will do what you are talking about.

Ken, you can also Subscribe to your own thread when you post it by clicking on the email notification block before you actually post the thread. Just look for it when you start the thread.

ta for that, guys, but i am not certain that is quite what i mean. DC, yours is for private messages, if i read it correctly. tampa, think this not quite what we had, although with my lack of understanding of computerery things, who knows. you'll recall that we used to get an email letting us know if someone had posted in response to any post you had made. it was very useful as it meant you could go back to the thread to see what was said or respond if appropriate. without such notification, i suspect we all miss a lot of posts that might be relevant to us as we don't (or at least i don't) check each thread every time there is a post.

does this make sense?

Ken, the system is in place. As the boys suggested you need to go into "my controls" and set it up. Call me if you need a hand.

Members should remember Ken "Gates" Gargett's finest computer moment. Allowing a friend (Niko) in Chile to play with his Mac Pro Laptop, Niko put on a screensaver of beautiful pebbles in a flowing shallow stream. When Ken accessed the Laptop a little while later and his coment?................... "How did those rocks get in my computer?"

Enable 'Email Notification' by default?

If ticked, choose default type:

Enabling this option will automatically subscribe you to any topic you start or reply to.

Nothing about private msgs.

Though it pains me beyond the extreme to throw myself under the techno bus with you, I’m having trouble even spelling advertar.
