That may be changing soon ;)
Paul, remember to reply with quotes because I don't know who you are addressing with your comment.

This is what I am not understanding.
I am having the same problem as it seems you are. I click on "show new replies to your posts" and I cannot find who has replied to my posts. Nothing is in quotes.
Here is a perfect example. I just clicked on "show new replies to your posts" and it showed me the I HATE GOLD FLASHBACKS in the list. Now there was only one post since mine and it was from Ernie and he had NOT quoted me nor replied to my post but instead to Dr. Popper's. What is up with that?? Can you explain that to me? All I can guess is it shows all NEW posts to ANY of my posts within a thread I created. That is gonna be hell once we start the "Are these people nuts" thread as it will forever be alerting the person who starts it.
What was really nice in Greg's forum is that he had the "New posts only to me" which filtered all the threads except the unread messages to me. And then once I clicked on the thread, I could scroll really quickly to the messages with (unread) in parentheses so I could see who exactly responded to one of my messages. And once read, it would never get flagged again. As it is now, i am scrolling through the entire battery of messages to try to figure out who responded to me from what message. The FROM and TO are REALLY good filters as now we are just pretty much posting TO the thread instead of TO someone if we don't wish to use quotes. And even if we are using quotes, it looks like the filtering system is saying someone has responded to me even if they haven't. Am I missing something?
Let me ask.
1) If I start a THREAD, will it notify me by e-mail that someone has replied in my thread?
2) If I post a MESSAGE in a thread started by someone else, will it notify me by e-mail that someone has responded to my message even if they haven't replied to my message, like in the GOLD FLASHBACK thread above?
3) What exactly does "Show new replies to your posts" show. It seems to just bring me to the list of threads where perhaps someone responded to a message within that post, but it doesn't indicate which message(s) exactly pertained to which of my posts. This is what is most cumbersome to me. I would like to know which posts EXACTLY are to me regardless of quotes. An (unread) message next to my name or something would be helpful. And then it can go away once I read it so I know I've read it.
Also, sometimes, I want to respond but not use quotes. Will that alert people I have responded to a thread? if so, THAT is going to be a pain in the arse to people.
