Dumb Question (yes they do exist)

[x-smok3]

I am sorry if this is answered elsewhere or is maybe self evident. When someone responds to one of my comments in a thread, is there some way for me to know that? In other words when someone likes a comment you get a notification but if someone comments on a comment I made in a thread I have to search it out. It is not that big of a deal; however if someone asks a question about my post I would like to answer it. To be clear I am referring to threads that I have commented on not ones that I have started. Thanks from a beginner

If you hit "setting" at the top of each page you will see all of the post that you have subscribed to or posted in. If you see your post, then you will know somebody has responded.

Only way I know of is to click at the top of the page on "My Profile", then use the "Find all posts" link from there. I don't think there is a way to actually subscribe to a thread in this forum format.

Up at the top of the first post is Thread Tools. In that dropdown is the option to subscribe to the thread.

Thanks tmcase

I just go to my profile and click on find all my posts link on the left of page, then look for the post i'm looking for.

Someone may know a better way.

If you look just above your starting post you'll see a little menu, you want Thread Tools then click on the Subscribe to This Thread. Then all you have to do is select how you want to notified and your done.

I agree that subscribing to a thread can let you know when someone responds to your post, however I think x-smok3 may be also asking about threads that were started by someone else. When you post to a thread that someone else started, and someone replies to your post, you may see that they added a post to the thread, but not necessarily that they responded to your post specifically.

I recommend clicking on the "Display" dropdown at the top of any thread and select "Switch to Hybrid View." This will affect all threads that you view, and it will show you who replied to the original poster and who replied to a specific sub-post.

Thanks for asking the (definitely not dumb) question, x-smok3, I've been wondering about this, as well.

This is absolutely not a dumb question. You can also click on the "What's New?" menu item and select "My Posts" from the dropdown menu. This will show all of the posts you have participated in with the latest posts to have activity coming first. This forum is set up with LOTS of options for doing things in your own special way!

I use tapatalk on my iPhone, I think android has it too. You can subscribe to your threads and find out really fast. Hope that helps...
