Am I missing something? To get email notification of thread replies, the bookmark button has to be pressed in that thread, where's the bookmark button? The only thing I can see is the little box, even when that's ticked no link appears in mt profile?

Hi Phil,
Bookmarking a thread is now done by selecting 'Bookmark' from the drop-down 'Actions' Menu in the navigation bar at the top of the thread. On my computer that bar stays on screen so it is quite convenient.
Unfortunately I remember that bar doesn't stay on screen on your computer and I can't remember if you can see it at all.
Bill

Hi Phil,
If that's a screenshot of your computer, Actions is on the grey bar near the top, next to Search.
Regards, Len

If you are viewing using the Recent Posts option then the Actions drop down isn't available, if you are viewing using the Recent Threads option then the Actions button is there but inoperable, it is only working to show bookmarks when you click on it when you are on an individual thread.

Phil, that screen shot is "recent threads" it 's not on that screen, go to the board you want (sound files) and on the "actions" tab you will find Bookmark

Yo do have actions Phil. At the top of your screenshots (either one) on the righthand side of the page (situated next to search) you will see actions. Click on it and in the drop down box you will see bookmark. Whether it works or not is another matter. Cheers, Graham

Hi Sandra and all, If when viewing using recent threads you hover the cursor over a thread title, a little box should appear to the left of the title and if you click it the 'action' drop down menu becomes operable, including 'Bookmark'.

Why couldn't I see ACTIONS Ok so I've made a bookmark, now I'm told to go to Profile and I should see a "Manage Bookmarks" which should take me to a link to decide if I want email notification, all I can see is a "Bookmark" which doesn't take me to a link? Phil

Hi Phil,
Once you have made a bookmark, there should be a new item in the forum's main menu (below the Charlie Hall & Friends logo) and it should be called 'Bookmarks'. If you click on that it gives you a list of the threads you have bookmarked and you can go straight to the thread you want to view.

Hi Phil,
Sorry I got diverted by the 'actions' problem and forgot your original query.
Once you have a bookmark click Profile in the main menu, then click the 'Edit profile' button (on the far right hand side opposite your name), then click the 'Notifications' tab, then tick the box in the 'Email' column beside 'when a bookmark is updated', then click the 'save notification settings' button at the bottom, then click 'Home' in the main menu.
I've not tested this yet myself but will see if it works when this thread is updated. Let me know if it works or not for you.
Bill

Thanks George,
You're a great man.
When the forum changed I thought about the need to change some of the guidance but like most things these days it slipped in and out of my mind.
