How to Follow a Post
I don't see a way to follow a particular post. Is there a way and is it working today?

Have you tried "subscribe topic"? It's one of the options within the "wrench" link.

First: You subscribe to a thread.
Next: You'll have to confirm how you set up your personal account re receiving notifications. In the upper right (under the Google box) at your "name" arrow down. Go to User Control Panel. Go to Board Preferences. Go to Edit notification options. Check boxes for when you want emails and/or when you want online notifications.
If Subscribe is "On" but Notifucations are "Off" you won't receive notifications.

Da5id,
Where is the little wrench dropdown menu? It is not anywhere on my screen. It seems to me that there was a place at the bottom of a post, as late as yesterday, where you could subscribe or unsubscribe but it is not there today. Before you reply please look at your screens and see if everything you reference is actually there today. Thanks.

The box next to my "post reply" button on my screen is blank but when I click on that blank box it brings up what we are looking for. Thanks for all the help.

Re: How to Follow a Post
There is a setting in your User Control Panel (UCP), under Board preferences that might help. The direct link is ucp.php?i=ucp_prefs&mode=post. Look at your setting for Notify me upon replies by default:. I'm pretty sure the default is No.
When you make a post, before the textbox there is also an Options tab that provides a checkbox for a number of items, one of which is Notify me upon replies by default: so you can override your UCP setting on a post-by-post basis. I've double-checked and it's visible on both desktop and mobile devices, although you might need to scroll down further on a mobile device to see it.
