What is the correct way I can adjust the Linux Mint forums settings to notify me via email when a message has been sent in response to a post that I create?
I ask this question because forever [for me] before the Mint forums were even compromised a while back; I was never able to receive email notifications upon an update to a post I created. So I sort of tracked down the postings I made and followed them a slightly more difficult way at least for me.
Now today as an example I am able to click on the 'notifications button' and see others replies to postings that I have created. <-- which is a great help
In notifications I have [clicked] on notification type yet I am unable to see the option listed for enabling email verifications.
I do apologize if I have posted in the incorrect area I would appreciate help on this if possible. I understand this may be a sortof 'dumb' question for some but I am really wondering about it.
Thank you for your time.

Thank you very much for your reply!
I think I figured it out with your help.
The following options seemed to have helped my situation; I have included screenshots also [far below]
*Username* <---- panorain
User Control Panel
Board preferences
Edit posting results
Notify me upon replies by default -- I ticked [yes] <---- or someone did
WOW this is going to help someone ---> I am finally getting emails sent to my email provider inbox as well as I am receiving notifications via on the forums here .
I have attached 2 screenshots. When I feel comfortable with labelling this issue as resolved I will do so.
