I'm not sure If I'm missing something or not, but is there no way to have an email notify one when a topic is replied to? I don't see the option anywhere. Unless you get an email for a reply to a watched topic?

thank you.

Yeah, you would add it to your Watched Topics list. If you want to be emailed, be sure the box is checked in your Preferences: "By default should anything added to your Watch Lists be emailed to you?"

oh i'm stupid lol. thank you.

You'll need to update the entries for your already-added watched topics however to indicate you want them to email you (afaik) as this setting only effects those which are newly (after this setting is applied) added watched topics.

thank you.
