Email For Question Responses
12 Answers
Would be nice to, after replying to a question not started by yourself, get an email if anyone else replies to that question.
Also, if you reply to your own question, you don't get an email about it.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I have never got the subscribe feature to work, and do not bother to subscribe any more. What I do instead is to go to my profile, check questions I gave an answer to, and look at the number of replies and dates of last repliles. I can then look at the ones that have been answered since I last checked. This is not fool proof, but it works well enough.
I agree with the last post, Didwot. that's what ive been doing. But its a real pain.. I mean, they could even show on that page the name of the last person to post an answer. Thus if its not your name, you can go check it out.
Something needs to be done though, so that its easier to check back. You could give an answer and the original questioner would ask you for more details, and you wouldn't know about it.

With "questions I gave answers to" you will notice that the questions are sorted in the order in which you answered them, most recent at the top. If you post another answer to an older question it flips up to the top. Very useful, but it would be much more useful if there was an option that sorted them by the date/time of the last answer given by anyone. That way you could see at a glance when someone else had answered, because the question would have moved to the top of the list, and even if you did not notice that, you would only have to check the top questions to see if there were any new postings.

Just realised that, not having subscribed to any threads for ages, I posted the 2nd answer to MargeB's news question about speeding and dangerous driving (Subaru Impreza), and subscribed to that thread. There are now 29 answers, and I have not received a single notification of any of them.
The good news is that when I tallk to myself I do get told about it!

Are you saying that nothing happens when the 'subscribe to question' option is clicked, and AB says 'your subscription has been successful' ? Or that you couldn't make it work in the first place?
Also, I have been looking for qa question I know I saw some days ago in the topic 'Film & TV'. I have just realised that if I post a similar question AB will show me similar questions to it, thus among those will be the one I am searching for, I hope. Save me a lot of finger work.
