Hi guys,
Why do you never quote when replying in the thread?
By quoting, the person who is being quoted will get a notif...that red dot over the bell icon, on the upper right corner of this page
It is so hard sometime to follow (to remember) which thread i was replying or in which i was asking a question and then i never know that some1 reply to it (because i forget that thread)...hahaha
Not a big deal though
Regards,
EDWIN

Re: Why do people never quote when replying in the thread?
I always get a notification each time someone replies in a thread where I have made a contribution (unless I explicitly turn it off) without having to quote someone ?
Re: Why do people never quote when replying in the thread?
Yes I often just copy and paste in the persons quote I reply to and italicise it, but I still often get the notification like Teo, but that may be people then quoting me? Often I only want to reply to one of their comments comprising a single line rather than quote their whole post and I do not know if you can do that when actually simply quoting their post?

Yes, me too!
And you can actually do this.
You can also edit what is in the brackets. For better or worse..
You can also duplicate the entire quote code (starting from "[quote=" and ending with "[/quote]" and do multiple edits , so take part of a quote and respond to that, deleting the remainder, then take another part and respond to that, deleting the bits not relevant to that response, and so on.
Re: Why do people never quote when replying in the thread?
Thanks ESP. Seems as quick for me to just copy and paste the text in though, but of course those quoted don't get any notification unless somebody then quotes you? Which is what Edwin was complaining about?
Re: Why do people never quote when replying in the thread?
And now I got a notification for this topic - just by adding a comment (and not quoting anything)

Re: Why do people never quote when replying in the thread?
No...that is not happening to me...
I have to check my "show your post" at the profile page to know who replied to my post
Hmm...i wonder, what went wrong...
And the "manage notif" page doesnt help either...it only shows me my former notifs...

Re: Why do people never quote when replying in the thread?
Found it
This is how you can get a notif everytime some1 reply to a post you are participating in
At USER CONTROL PANEL page
1) go to BOARD PREFERENCES
2) go to EDIT POSTING DEFAULT
3) check "YES" at NOTIFY ME UPON REPLY BY DEFAULT
Hope it helps anybody who has the same problem as me
