I like being on this forum, I really do. But I don't think that this is a good reason to make me come back every 2 mins to check if someone replied to my post!
I know I will feel dumb when you'll spell it out for me, but I looked and didn't find. Where do I sign up for email updates for my threads??
After you post, you'll see that there is a Reply button, at the top and bottom. A couple of buttons to the right is one that says "Notify of replies". Select that, and you can elect to be sent e-mail when someone replies to your post.
Check back in a couple of minutes, and you'll see this.
