Hi Nora

Make sure the notify box is ticked next time you post to a subject (you will have to click on additional options to do this) It will stay that way then until you change it.  To start getting notifications for topics you've posted to and are not currently getting notifications for just click on the notify button at the top of the actual posting

No you don't have to do it every time Nora.  Once you do it for one posting it will do it for all until you change it deliberately.  You probably lost your settings when they changed the server.

Presumably Joe its because you have it set to "notify me of replies" which is intended to email you when someone replies to a post you're watching.  I have noticed that it now sends you an email even when you make the post yourself, which is a bit unnecessary.  Does that make sense?
