And in case anybody deigns to suggest I turn on the reply notification checkbox, FFS it's always checked and I'm not getting reply notifications but I ALWAYS get notifications of other kinds, so it's not my email, either. For example, it was an email that let me know Sam created this thread, and I came to look because I respect Sam.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
