Forgetting to check the "notify me" option--Can I do it after the fact?

Hi, I keep forgetting to check the box to request notification of replies. Is there a way to access the box after posting? 

Yes, in any thread, you can go to the top right under the banner of headings and click the follow button.

IT looks like you ARE following this thread so if you're not getting notifications, go into your profile and navigate to the notification settings and you can choose how you want to be notified of replies, quotes, mentions, dm's etc.

Thanks I am aware of the "follow" button, but I don't like those options. I prefer just having the little bell icon notifier:5a4f14c39aa8c_ScreenShot2018-01-04at10_00_55PM.png.c10a909b10ea6aef2a500e5e2b1ab6a7.png

I can get that to work properly if I click on this notification when I post:

But if I forget to do that, I can't access it unless I post again :(

If you use that only and not 'follow' then you will not be notified of people commenting on your thread if they just make a new post instead of hitting quote I believe.  Play around with it and the notification settings in your profile but if that little green box is not available except on a new post, then that's the way it is unfortunately.

I just noticed that my green box is always on, so it must be that if you choose to be notified by 'notification' of replies in your profile settings, the button is just 'on'.

Thanks! Part of the reason I posted, though, is that the option to use the "edit" button to make the change on this thread after the fact might be helpful for other newbies like me ;)

Ya unfortunately we ran into problems with people editing posts long after the fact so that option has been turned off.  The little green button doesn't show back up in the edit feature anyway... I just tested it myself :)
