Hi again jbaent! When you post a reply at a topic I automatically get notifications, (like your reply, I got an email at my yahoo account
). Alternatively, when you don't want to post a reply but you are interested in a topic, you press the notify button on top or bottom of the page. In both cases the button turns into "unnotify". I get the automatic post for new posts but not for edits.
I have lost lots of info contained in edits, and I only edit my posts when I spot a mistake, but before somebody else replies and certainly not after an hour, because in most cases it will be read already. So I post a new reply to fix it.)
