    I just needed to be notified of several alerts but I only receive the replies to the threads I create.

    I found out people quoting and asking me stuff and that can't be sent via email in the settings. Is there any way?

    Hey!

    Looking at the settings, this is sadly not possible. You can only set email notifications for threads you make or decide to watch. It is possible to get an alert when someone mentions your username inside https://forum.unity.com/account/alert-preferences, but this won't generate an email.

    I'd love to have email notifications for many things (have options for every setting). The only one available is subscribing to new posts on a forum I've answered to AND created... well. I'd like to have a separate option because I answer in many threads but I'm only interested in receiving a notifiaction when quoted...

    I think the forum would improve a lot with an easier and faster to use search mode as well as this. :-(
