I think it would be really nice if we could be notified when someone quoted us in the forums. That way we wouldn't have to look again and again to see if we were quoted.

I looked to see if this was already an option but couldn't find it. If it is, can you please tell me where I can set it?

It isn't an option, but I agree it would be a great idea. I have a to-do list for the forum, I'll add it.

As long as it's an option you can turn off! Very Happy

eta: Here's an example of why I'd want that option (aside from not really caring if someone quotes me if I'm not already currently engaged enough in the thread to notice)

animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=5286545#5286545

The quoted part credited to TasteyCookie (who is the one who would get the notification) is actually mine, but two additional posts perpetuate the error and aren't really addressing me at all, so the prospect of notices about them cluttering up my inbox doesn't thrill me. People make these kinds of misquotes all the time, and it's so easy to do when you're trying to pare a quoted post down to a sentence or two, or cut out quotes you're not responding to.
