i can guarantee 100% that my post from this morning DID HAVE THE NOTIFICATION BOX CHECKED....for some reason when i go back to edit it now it says i only had 5 minutes to edit it which i had never encountered before...must be something new...but i know for sure because i triple checked that i had checked the box as i am checking right now that this post has the box checked....and i have also checked many times to make sure that "Always notify me of replies: Sends an e-mail when someone replies to a topic you have posted in. This can be changed whenever you post." is set to YES in my profile and the "watch topic" link has been clicked. I wish there was a way to provide you with screen shot of both of these things to confirm!!!
