Is there an easier way to get notified? Like an app or something? I have lots of email per day and the forums notifications get lost in my mail box :(

Hi John, I gather you have subscribed to your threads so you get an email when you get a reply? There is no app but there should be a search function as part of your email. You can also go to your profile and there is a set of links one which is find latest started threads.

Pat,

Yes but like I said, I get a lot of emails a day and it get lost. It’s kinda annoying to have to search for the emails or revisit the forum. Is it possible to get notifications by SMS?

I do not think so John but perhaps Al would know for sure. Another suggestion is to setup another email address and change your email address on the forum to a new one.

You can set up an email filter so that all emails from the forum are directed to a specific folder. Then they'll all be in one place.

The problem I have is that even if I do this, they would be in the mix of my daily emails. New emails would still notify on my phone as one group of emails. If I unlock the phone without checking the email notifications, I dont get notifications reminder. But sounds like there is no other way to get it notifications other than email 😭

Not sure what type of phone you have but my phone doesn't clear out notifications unless I tap clear all notifications once unlocked.
And if you filter to a folder, folders with unread messages are in bold type.
But yes if you need special and repeated reminders you're out of luck.
