Is there a way to get alerts?

Say, if someone quotes you?

I don't necessarily want an email if someone quoted me, but when I pop back on to the site I would like to easily tell.

I have clicked around, but all I've found is "my forum activity" under the "My Pages" tab. Is there anything else I can adjust to get notifications?

If I am left to just remembering which threads I've typed in then I am probably doomed.

I hope I can ask this here. Can delete if needed.

When you start or reply to a thread, the blue box below the area you type in has a list of options. An option to click if you want to keep current with the thread is "Notify me when a reply is posted". Notifications will be sent to the email you provided to the website. Also, on the page listing thread topics, you can tell if you participated in a thread because a star appears in the little picture to the left of the thread title.

I don't know of any feature here where you can be notified solely when someone quotes you (for example, in a thread in which you did not participate) or mentions your name.

Thanks, after 12 years, I didn't know this.

BTW what does the fire mean?

I didn't know what the star was for, either, Kenny! I almost never subscribe to threads, though, because I don't want email notices!

I think the fire means the thread is "hot"...as in very active.

Maybe the fire means that DF posted in that thread.

I believe so as well.

I used to remember but it's either the number of posts or views
