In user CP (top left) go to edit options then scroll down to messaging and notifications and change the default subscription to instant e-mail notification and you will get an e-mail for all the threads you subscribe to
You don't have to reply to a thread to subscribe to it - you can chose subscribe to this thread in thread tools at the top of the post
Hi JoG - Thanks.
I have already set the system to 'instant email notifications'. My email address is set as the correct one, but I don't receive anything from HHO. I will have to contact admin or something I think! Thanks anyway
