How to get notified if your post is answered?

Is that available on this website?

Frankly, I rarely post but when I do, I have no idea if it was answered unless I search around for my post.

I don't see anywhere to tell the site that I want to be notified?

Hi, @Ceci!  When you log in to the Forums, you will see above the messages the number of ?Notifications you have that are either hearts to your post or responses that include you @Ceci name.  The @ does need to be present in the post with your name to trigger the notification.  Hope this helps!

@CeciI think you bring up a goodt question.  Yes, @MJDinVegas is correct that as long as someone includes your nic with the @ sign in their response, you will see that in "Notifications" at the top of the Forum, next to your name.

 

But often, posters will reply or add their take on an original post without that @.  So you still need to keep checking back.  You have to remember your original post and what thread you put it in, then just keep checking back to see all the responses.

There is no way to be notified unless the person replying puts an @ next to your name such as @Ceci.  The way I do it is under "Topic Options" click on "Float This Post For Current User."  I use that option on every topic that I post.  Then you just have to check the category you posted under, and your post will be at the top.

@Ceci. @NickNack . @Caaareful Shopper. @MJDinVegas

 

 

 

Wow! Y'all make it difficult for yourself.

 

I just go to my profile page.

It shows all my posts together in one place, plus any replies or hearts for those posts.

 

Tap your post on the profile page to go back to the thread and read what you wrote, plus any replies.

 

You can go immediately to your profile page by tapping on your avatar at the top, or your avatar to the left of any of your posts, or even your @Nickname, etc     😉

@Caaareful Shopper,  This is why there's a reply button at the top of each thread, and another reply button within each post.

 

If you're replying to a particular post or poster, you use their reply button. But for a general contributing post to the thread, you use the red reply button at the top.

 

People often just tap the reply button in the last post.

If yours was the post they tapped that'll show up on your profile page as a reply to you, even tho it may not be inspired by your post or directed to you at all.
