I don’t get it. I used to get messages from the SDMB all the time, saying someone had responded to a thread I “subscribed” to. Sometimes it got a little crowded in my email, but at least I knew that someone wanted to continue a conversation I was involved in. Now, nothing. Hell, I know someone has posted in a thread after me at least a couple times, but I just ran across those. What happened? Did the SDMB change their policy?😕 ---

Given your registration date, I’d be inclined to do a vanity search on your user-name if you want to check whether people have responded to threads in which you’ve posted. ---

Don’t worry **singular1** - it happens. My hubby did a search for my posts the other day and pointed out something similar. Out of all my posts, I was the last to post in say 4 of the 50… Just make sure the e-mail notification box is marked, try not to hijack threads with a conversation between you and another doper, and Welcome aboard 🙂 ---

Thanks, **Washte** and **reprise** - I’ll give that a shot. Appreciate the tips:D! ---
