OK I can't find anywhere else to ask this question, I've looked all over the Beginners section and I've actually read all the FAQs.

How do I watch topics/threads so that they are there on my profile thingy (so they are easy to find/watch) without each new posting sending me an email?

I had 100s of emails filling up my inbox when I got into work this morning.

Please someone help, thanks.

Well the low tech answer is to use the "View posts since last visit" option from the main screen. I just scan that to see what changes every 15 mins or so

No, I like the full list on one screen. Unless you watch too many and them it goes on to another screen.

I could change my email address so that it sends somewhere else I suppose...?

When you make a post there is a box with a tick saying notify me when a reply is posted.

Click on that box and the tick will go and you won't keep getting e mails when someone replies.

Yes, but then the topic isn't on my profile page where I want it to be.

Or is it?

Profile page? I just make a mental note of when I leave the forum and when I return I checkout what has moved if it is of interest to me.

Mind you that system is likely to fall apart with your speed of posting! :wink:

Yeah, I click on profile at the top (under FAQ) and it shows all my messages and who's last to post in each watched topic. Actually it's the thread not the topic so you can be looking at different things in the same section.

My memory's not that good!

All too complicated for me :!: :!:

Why not try removing the tick and see whether things DO go where you want them in the profile?

If it's not how you like it just leave the ticks there.
