Email notifications, does this forum have that deature?

[lhkittle]

I have parsed around what clickable buttons I can find and cannot find if there is an email notification when someone responds to a post I have made.

Similar to Mr. Excel forum.

Or is the Stared Post feature the alternative.

Thanks,
Howard

where do you write and read your posts?
I use a newsreader. When I am at home the reader is started and he looks
every 5 minutes for new headers. For new posts the headers are red so I
see them immediatly.
In Google you can create email notifications into the options

I use Internet Explorer and I guess Xfinity by Comcast is the local connection.
I get lost very quickly in these realms, more so than trying to do an array inside an array.

Checking back is not that much a problem, if I have a reply the title box is white, grayed if read or no reply.

Thanks.

Email notification is a feature of a news service (server), not your
newsreader (IE) or ISP (Comcast).

According to your message ID, you post to Google Groups. That is your news
service.

I don't use Google Groups. But after a brief experiment, it does appear
that you can set up email notification.

After logging into Google Groups, the left icon near the upper right is
called My Settings. When I click on that, I see Notification Settings. You
might need to set that for each newsgroup you participate in.

Thanks, Joeu2004,

I'll give that a look see, I'm a true dunce when it comes to messing with all that stuff. Doesn't take me long before I am looking at an website selling used fighter jets in the Sudan.

Worth a try though.

Thanks.
