If someone replies, and I get a notification email, success! ---

Working now. Not the same way as before, but working… ---

I’m not getting notification emails either. How did you fix it? ---

I tried switching from “normal” to “watching”. It looks like normal sends email in someone replies to a post of mine, not when other posts occur. ---

Yeah, I’m not exactly sure how I got it to work - I switched to “watching” for some threads, but have gotten emails about threads I didn’t switch too. I’d like to turn off the popup notifications now that the email ones are working - but haven’t figured that out yet. ---

"Watching " gets me notified about every single post! I guess I’ll need to work on this some more.
