i dont know if it is possible but i was just thinking how convenient it would be to get messages when either someone quotes something we say in a post or replies to a topic we posted just a suggestion but it would probably make the forums more active and possibly even an email to go with it?
 
You can be alerted to someone posting in a thread you've replied in. Go to your User CP > Edit Options > about halfway down you'll see "Default Thread Subscription mode." Set it to whatever you would like, scroll down and hit "Save Changes."

Next time you post in a thread, any new posts in that thread will show up in your User CP.

As far as getting a message whenever someone quotes you, I don't think that's possible.
 
mod stooge response...

heheh

ive wondered before if its possible to find out how many times a poster has been quoted...
;)
but an email for everyone every time, would i guess have the site running like mad in the background.

the place keeps growing all the time, like a cranky baby frankenstein, #, & % records have been consistently broken the past few years, so id imagine if even possible, implementing something like this, as convenient as it would be, would most likely back-fire on us all.


i mean, have you seen our engineer...?
seriously, because i dont think anyone else has either..!
lol
;)


the funding situation is awful though, and things like this are pieces of luxery i personally would pay a few $'s a year to utilize, it would be convenient and interesting.
 
I am perfectly happy with the subscriptions that AP talked about. I would hate getting an email every time someone quoted something I said, it would get old fast, and its just as easy to go look in your subscriptions. I think the only time it would be useful is if it was in a different thread than the one I had posted in.

There is an outline that walks you through how to set up subscriptions, but APs shorter explanation is just as good ;)
