How do you see if somebody replied to you or posted on the thread you made? It doesn't show up in my notifications. (Can somebody PM me the answer? I still can't figure it out.)

How do you see if somebody replied to you or posted on the thread you made? It doesn't show up in my notifications. (Can somebody PM me the answer? I still can't figure it out.)

(I'll pm this to you as well.)

There are several ways to find responses.

If you go to the "Forums" at the top of the site and then select the option "my posts" from the pop up menu you can see a list of every topic you have posted on. If the topic's icon is red, that means there is a new post that you haven't seen on it. If it's grey, their's nothing new. So, by watching the "my posts" section you can see when new posts are made on your topics, and any topic you have posted on.

The trouble with that though is eventually you may find you've commented on a lot of threads, and you don't care about all of them any more. This is why we also have a bookmark feature! On your favorite/most important threads, scroll to the bottom of the page and select the option "add to bookmarks". To access your bookmarks, again, go to the "forum" tab, but this time select "bookmarks" from the pop up menu. Just like in "my posts" in your bookmarks, new posts are red, and old ones are grey.

You can also subscribe to topics. To do this, scroll down to the bottom of the desired topic. Just to the left of where you can add it to your bookmarks, you will see an option to subscribe to the topic. By subscribing to a topic or forum, CS will send you an email each time a reply is made. Can can manage your subscriptions here.

On extremely busy topics it can be hard to find replies since the thread moves so fast. In these situations, use the search function (located at the top of the page, next to button to make a reply) and search for your username. Typically when replying on fast threads, people quote the original post they are replying to, and therefore you should be able to bring it up by searching your own name.

I hope this helps clear some things up!
