The watchlist allows you to be notified when someone posts in a thread that you are interested in.
You can also change your settings so that any thread that you post in is added to your watchlist.
However, in both these cases you'll be notified regardless of whether the post in the watchlisted thread is quoting a post of yours, and you won't be notified if someone in some other non-watchlisted thread quotes something you said in a watchlisted thread.
Generally if I want to see if anyone has recently quoted anything that I've said, I use the search feature and search for my userId
Hmm well that seems like a roundabout way of doing things. I find it odd that such a basic feature is omitted on this forum when it's included on so many others. Oh well, I'm sure more people than I have had an issue with it and if it hasn't been updated by now it probably never will. So I guess your suggestions are better than nothing. Thank you for the info.
