can i recieve replies to my posts direct to my email adres looked in setting but couldn,t see if there was a setting for that
yes, yes you should receive an email if you start the topic, if you want to get replies to your email addy from somebody else's topic then just put a tick in the box below, where it says 'Email me whenever there is a new post to this topic'
And if you open someone's else's post, and you would like to receive email advice of any new posts to this topic, you can always "subscribe" by clicking the SUBSCRIBE button - on the bottom right of the post. See pic attached.
