this is nice. i'd love to have this too !
please make it happen~

Check your profile options. You can subscribe to threads (replying automatically does this by default) and turn on email notifications for when those get updated.

Yes, but this will send an email everytime someone replies to the thread, which won't necessarily relate to what you've subscribed for. Whereas getting notified everytime you get quoted, will directly concern what you said, it's much more accurate in my opinion.
Didn't go through all the options to see if this was possible though

id like to have notifications, so u see if someone quotes u or when someone replies to a thread u created.

Yes this is a great idea.

agreed, good idea.

100% agree

I was also going to suggest notifications for when you are quoted.  Notifications for responses to your own posts are a very good idea too.

My only concern is that I don't think any of us need another website bombarding us with notifications, so I would just want the notifications to be as specific to the user as possible... if that makes sense.

Basically, we don't need another Facebook.

i was about to suggest this .
