... would save me hours of my life monthly.

Right now the only way to go back is do a search in your own last posts, and even that only shows the 5 last, and you don't know which one got answered. Its a hassle, if you actually want to have a convo and not a "fire and forget".


Many other big forums have it, like xda-dev phone portal (5m+ members), its a real convenience.


If this belongs to normal suggestion forum, move it, and I'll add a poll.

Not quite sure what you mean, but I think it's there already.

So, having quoted you, you should have got a notification that I've quoted you. From the forum notifications page (either the drop down next to the search box or the full page at the User CP) you should have three parts: "Sparks Murphey" (click to go to my profile) "quoted" (click to go to this post containing the quote) a "post you made" (click to go to your original post). In the header of the quote box above, you can also click the Posted Image image to go to the post the quote is referring to.

Does that help?

As Sparks says, there is already an option for that.

Here's a link to change the notification options: http://mwomercs.com/...a=notifications

Alternatively edit your forum profile and click Notification Options on the menu on the left (if you don't trust the link).

Thanks bros, I didn't know that menu existed at all.

I didn't have it giving me notes before. It was off. I never changed it either.

This is incredibly helpful. Never knew that page existed, had been relying on the default setting (only notify on 'like') but that got turned off a few days ago without me changing anything. Cheers!

Should be working for both of you now if you changed it in the options.
