I’m tracking it.
And in the forum preferences I have set
When I post in a topic, set that topic to
to
Tracking.
This time I received an email notification that you answered to my post.
So if I don’t reply direct or quote you s u s e j u n k y do you get a notification…?
I received an email notification for your post above.
As I already mentioned When I post in a topic, set that topic to is set to Tracking in my forum preferences (at least since the last seven months).
So I guess there should have been more than just three email notifications for this topic.
I’m not sure, but I think you need to set the topic to “Watching” if you want a notification for every new post in the thread. With “Tracking” you only get a notification for direct replies to your own posts, but it does show up as a thread with unread posts.
Those topics where I get e-mail notifications show “Watching” (and I switch that to “normal” if I want to stop getting e-mail about a topic).
When I post in a topic it is switched to “Watching” automatically. That may be a setting in my profile.
I can of course also switch to “Watching” on a topic when want so.
This is how it works here and I am satisfied with this part of the forums.
@malcolmlewis : Yes, I received an notification EMail for your post but not for the two following ones by @nrickert and @hcvv .
And I received an notification EMail for @nrickert post here.
For the record: Both threads are set to “Tracking”!
As @malcolmlewis says, that is not what @nrickert and I have.
Maybe you should check in your profile to what things are set when you post in them.
Yes, I will try.
@hcvv : Now I changed in my forum preferences under Notifications When I post in a topic, set that topic to from Tracking to Watching and will see how things develope.
Still I do not understand why I received an email notification for this post although this topic is set to “Tracking” !?
When you click the button, it has some explanation for the different buzz-words. As I read it Tracking only mails you when somebody replies direct to a post of you (and thus not to the topic in general), or of you are mentioned with @susejunky . And Watching sends you on all changes in the topic.
Maybe because it clearly quotes you (like this one).
I can only guess reading the description. I have all on Watching (either automatic or manual) and thus have no experience whatsoever with Tracking.
Right. But that’s because I quoted something from your post.
It takes a while to get used to how this forum software handles notifications.
Now I have in my forum preferences under Notifications When I post in a topic, set that topic to Watching (instead of Tracking before).
Thank you very much for your help!
In case it doesn’t work out I will report back here.
