Even subscribing as you describe, is not helpful. It sounds like a general alert, rather than an alert to a specific ping or quote of one of my posts.

I don't want to be forced to read multiple threads and multiple posts in the off-chance someone has pinged or quoted me. I don't know how everybody else gets around this issue, or are you just all used to it?

You get an alert for a PM, why not extend this functionality to @ pings and quotes? (which is what that plugin does.) Of course I am assuming this is a MyBB forum.

It would be nice if an Admin has some feedback.
You can also just click on the "User CP" link at the top of the page, and it will show you every thread you've posted in that has new posts.

I do agree that it would be cool to have the option be able to be notified of replies and mentions like we are for private messages.
