an answerbank query

[shivvy]

I am relatively new to AB so forgive me if I ask a dumb question but here goes! If I answer someones question (or I am just interested in keeping track of the responses, how do I do that?  Is it by hitting the 'subscribe to question' button?  I have tried this but I received an email tonight saying that a particular thread had been updated but when I looked at it it was exactly the same - with the same 2 answers.

What dumb ass part of me can't figure this out?!!

Hopefully someone is online at this time on a Tues night/Wed morning to answer.

Hiya shivvy- it's not a dumb Q at all. I follow threads i've responded to my going into my profile, top left... and reading them that way. Hope it helps :)

[shivvy]

Whew Boo - I knew that there had to be an easy answer, but could I find it?!!

I notice that it says that I have had 8 answers removed.  Why would this happen or what does it mean?

Also, it says that I have an answer to one of my questions but when I click on it, it says that there are no replies at present.  How come?

 

Sorry for bothering you Boo.

[B00]

I've had 3 of mine removed too, I'm of the theory it's best not to Q the great AB ED :) i just tug my forelock at him and go "yes m'lord, sorry m'lord"

And I've no idea about your 2nd Q- sorry.

And awwww bless your little cotton socks, you aint bothering me at all :)

Am off to bed now shivvy- if you need any techy Q's asking, AB ED can help on the suggestions posting. Nighty night :)

shivvy postings may be removed for multiple postings (sometimes a technical glitch), for breaking the rules, whatever. If you go to My Profile and click on Qs I have Answered you should see all your posts there, including the removed ones (which will be marked 'removed by AB' or something). Don't know why you should be getting emails with misleading information, though.

[shivvy]

Cheers jno.  By doing what you and Boo suggested, I have found out that my responses were removed cause I accidently posted them too many times.

Still can't work out why I was emailed to say a thread was updated when I am the last post on it.  It is under Animals & Nature and the question  is called Whippets in case you want to look (not likely!!)

shivvy,

This updating can happen when AB Ed edits a post.

So you appear to have the same number,but one has been altered.

Hi all,

No Questions are dumb questions on The AnswerBank! For shame....

As mystress mentions, you will receive an email when the AB ED has edited a post on the thread. And yes, to follow along with the thread's progress - you click on the "Subscribe to Question" link on the particular Question. Alternatively, to Unsubscribe (and stop receiving email updates) you click on the "Unsubscribe to Question" that appears on the Question.

Thankyou all so much.

What a nice bunch of people you are on Answerbank.

I have developed a slight addiction to this site already and I don't see that changing too soon!!

[mystress]

shivvy,

I regret to say that you are in Stage 1 of AB Addiction!

your "slight" addiction will soon change to "extreme"!

but don't worry it doesn't hurt (much) and we other addicts are here to help you (become MORE) addicted!

Right Guys!?
