Ok I know you have the option of subscribing to threads. What about a general option in your account settings that would enable notifications when a post you made is quoted, in any thread?

It just ran through my mind and I thought I'd ask.

Not sure how that would work since when the quote button is clicked all that happens is that the system copies the text into a new reply text box. The quotes aren't linked in the database to the original post.

what would have to happen would not be easy,

for example if the post being qouted is post p=147748 chris would have to check if "noqoute=1" is not present in the query string, then. he would do a sql query to determine who posted p=147748 then he would send an email to you that your post is being qouted...

if i knew php i could do it ;)

(Hypothecally) always easier said than done
