Is this possible Jürgen?

I hope I'm posting in the correct place. I am wondering is it possible to get an email notifying me if someone replies to a topic I have posted, or if anyone replies to a post, that I leave in another topic.

Thanks

I am expecting everybody to be familiar with PMs because this might be the only way for me of contacting you when emails are bouncing. If you don't read the PMs I will just delete your account. You recognize PMs when at the top right "New messages" is in bold.

If you set up an email account just to register for the forum I recommend to check the mail regularly. Again, if the email account is disabled or discontinued, I will disable (or delete) your account.

All of the above actions aren't my favourites because it means unnecessary work and I am lazy...

Thanks.

I made some changes:

If e-mails are bouncing or you will not read your personal messages you will not get access to primary and second level fora.

If e-mails keep bouncing I will delete the account.

Thanks arha for the answer!

There is no need to use all of the available space but there is a need to compose a good title (topic subjects must be descriptive). The title (topic subject) might be used when somebody searches for one or more keywords so a good title is very important. "Please help" should not be part of the title because those words will never be part of a search.

When you use the search and you get 65000 results you will scan quickly through the results and then you will notice the importance of a descriptive topic subject. These results will be the links you click on. For that reason I would like to ask you to take your time when composing the topic subject. Make it meaningful, self-explanatory, descriptive and you will help the teacher community of this message board.

Important: Please avoid abbreviations and spelling mistakes in the topic subject!

If you don't have a spell check plugin installed you can check at http://www.jspell.com/public-spell-checker.html

I would like to add here that I frequently come across topics where I wonder: 'why didn't that person do a google search?' or 'why didn't that person ring... to find out about...?' This message board is not supposed to help the lazy so please don't post questions that can be easily answered by a bit of google research or should be answered by somebody else (professional).

Thanks
