I am new here. Question: how do I know when someone responds to my thread or post without having to remember where i Posted and see if someone has responded or not?
At the top of the message/thread you will see a Thread Tools option. Click on that and select Subscribe to this Thread option.
Next time you login you can go to your User CP and check on your subscribed threads. Additionally you can setup your options in User CP to notify you through eMail that somebody has replied to one of your subscribed threads.
