HOw to know if someone has replied to you here on the forums

[edwardian-dreams]

I can see posts and repues

posts show what I’ve started as a thread, replies shows what I’ve posted in general

the only g is so and so poster replied to topic 

but I can’t see anywhere where it shows when people have replied to you personally 

only asking cos I don’t like not replying to a reply iyswim 

I can’t seem to keep track on this

When you're here in the forum there is the customary message symbol in the shape of an envelope... top right of your screen.

Thank you, I clicked on it but 

it shows private messages

i meant replies to my posts on this forum 

[papso22 · Accepted solution]

I don't know of anyway to tell when someone replies to you personally apart from trawling through a thread and seeing the post that way.

[ed_58611]

The only thing that I can think of is when a notification pops up "x mentioned you in a comment" when they quote your user name.

[edwardian-dreams]

Well exactly

thanks

There is no notification

and sometimes I post a lot but next day can’t remember exactly everywhere to go and check and “trawl”

thats one thing I dislike about this board feature

the other is you don’t know where you are exactly in a discussion always, top bottom middle, it’s eeeewww having to check the date and time of posts 

anyway

[edwardian-dreams]

Not seen that here but thank you

When you log onto the boards first look at the bell symbol on the top right of the page. It will say if you have any notifications.  When you click onto it you will see any replies you may have to threads/posts you have made.

Another way to check when and where you have posted is to click on your user name in this forum. There you will see  your board activity so it's easy to see exactly when and where you have posted.

[edwardian-dreams]

Thank you for that

it still does not show me directly that x has replied to your post 

so that I can go and reply to them

its all trawling to find 

doesnt matter

its a cr app y board format …not seen any like it either but that’s eBay for you lol 

[tressygirl]

I use a laptop and Chrome so not sure if this is available on the app or mobile browser, but after finishing a post before you send it ' live' ,  just below click on ' Additional options'  then tick the box >>  Email me when someone replies.

@edwardian-dreams

That's not a reply to you though, it's a reply to anyone who posted on the thread.  Hence some of the stroppy comments people make.

[bojangled]

@tressygirl  Yes I’ve seen that option too on Safari/iPad.
@edwardian-dreams Also if you clicking on ‘my profile’ in the top right there is a settings option with preferences tab. Playing about with that may have an option.

(However whatever I do I’ve never been able to rid my forum feed of the autograph hunters posts!)

Aaah yes,  that's what I meant, the initial notification will be telling you of a reply  to the post you make,  then yes,   you receive notifications of all future posts entered and yep, some good some bad. 😶

[edwardian-dreams]

Thanks tressygirl and @bojangled @“guinevere” also any others I missed for suggestions 

In my settings I’ve unticked “do not email me”

when it emails me when someone replies I’ll see if it’s a reply to a post of mine  or a reply to the thread in general 

cheers again

edit

just got an email , it was a general reply 

I  not sure this forum board format tells you of anything more specific

you get x marked your post as helpful but not x replied to your post 

oh well

wont lose sleep over it
