I have been asked whether it is possible to receive either e-mail notifications or PM's when a thread you have either created or contributed to receives a new post from a fellow member.
The answer is 'yes', it IS possible, by following the instructions below:
When posting a message on a thread, look below the box where you have typed your message and you will see an option marked 'Check this box if you wish to bookmark this thread'. You need to put a tick by this option by clicking your mouse in the little box to the left of the option.
Then after posting your message, click on the 'Profile' icon at the top of the page. A screen will appear with the following headings: Members Bio - Modify Profile - Bookmarks . Click on 'Bookmarks'. On the next screen to the right, click on the 'Manage Bookmarks' link. You can now set your preference by default to either receive e-mail notifications to updates on any bookmarked thread - or if you prefer, you can set it to receiving PM's instead. For any bookmarks already created, you will need to change the bookmark option 'manually'. However for any future threads that you bookmark, the option of receiving either e-mails or PM's will happen automatically.
Notifications for Private Messages received are controlled by clicking on the message link, to the right of the Space-Talk logo & then clicking on 'Preferences' (to the right of the screen).
Anyone having problems should either PM me or add to this thread and I will do it manually for them (you should stipulate whether you want to receive an e-mail or a PM).
