How Do I Follow My Community Posts?

When I want to follow a thread that I’ve commented in, I can’t see a way to receive email alerts when someone posts to it. I’ve checked my preferences and other settings. Time-consuming to search for my comments.

In authoring this post, for instance, I see the checkbox to “Notify me via email when new answers are posted.” Don’t think I saw a checkbox like that when I answered or commented on other’s posts. Of course, sometimes I ask questions when I comment, and want to see if someone has responded.

How do you handle it? Am I missing something? Thanks!

You can’t follow your posts to see if there was a response. There is a box to tic for email notification for a response but it does not work.

Thanks for info belmodo. Too bad. I appreciate having an on-site community and I like to and take time to participate. I’d like to be able to better follow what’s happening :(

You might try this to FIND your FORMER [URL removed]
Go to or CLICK [URL removed] " Community Help."
In the SEARCH Box where in light grey letter it says “Search community help” and TYPE IN YOUR Booth Name as in your [URL removed] Type into that rectangle search [URL removed] EmbellishMart, and see if you can find the former post(s) you’re looking for – I hope this helps you!

Ok, I’ll try that. Thanks!

[URL removed] Conveniently, it brought up the posts that I authored. Inconviently, it did not bring up the posts that I’ve commented on, really the most important ones. Thanks again!

I guess another option is the ’ole bookmarking the page in the browser bookmarks/favorites. Have to train myself to remember to do it before I leave the page.

To Answer Brilliantly

Remember these tips:

  • Use links to other sources to support your opinions
  • Use examples where possible
  • Put yourself in the inquirers shoes: what extra info would be helpful?

Should I post a comment or an answer?

You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?

Post an answer for:

  • Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question

Post a comment for:

  • "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
  • When you would like the original poster to provide more details
  • When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
