A frequent reference [Using Code Tags Around Your Paste] https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/536143-Using-Code-Tags-Around-Your-Paste is defective on http://archive.org/ and generates a 404 on forums.opensuse.org.

BTW, what needs to be done to get email notices that replies have been posted? I should have gotten at least two so far and have gotten none. I’ve never been to a forum where the default was not to always email a notification for each reply in a thread in which I posted anything.

Go to your settings->Emails/Notifications/Activities and properly set it up as you wish.
Most users use other ways if they are interested in a topic. Not everybody wants to get spammed with Emails ala “There is a response”…
