Reading a post or reply and get a telephone call from your spouse, she locked herself out of the car at the mall. You have to run. But, you want to reply to the post.


There is a great post and you need to research some information before replying but you can't keep your eyes open tonight.


You just found a great post about Submarines and want to see any replies as soon as they occur.


You have a collection of placemarks and just posted them, now you want to know when anyone replies.


There are 2 different features available to handle these scenarios:

Post Reminders (Found at the bottom of every post or reply)


Favorite Topics (Found at the bottom of the entire thread)
Favorite Topic! (toggle)

The selected post/topic has been added to your list. You will see this entry in 'My Home' until you remove it if you added it as a Favorite. You also will get any replies to your Favorite topics emailed to you if you have this option enabled in your profile. Reminders will not be emailed to you and will go away once you make a reply to the post. In a moment you will be automatically returned to the forum.

So, the "Reminder" is just that... You are reminded to go back to that post to reply at a later date, or when you have more time or more information.

The "Favorites" are to notify you when a new reply to the thread happens.

Where do you find the Reminder and Favorite displays? Just look in "My Home"


To set "Favorites" to E-Mail you, simply "Edit" the Subscribe/Unsubscribe notifications.
