Getting answers provided in Q/A when they are posted

I am trying to get better at using the Q/A site when I have an issue. I don't normally sit and watch Q/A all day. Even if I have a question, I am waiting for an answer. I sometimes forget I even posted something that I am waiting for an answer to. Am I missing something? Is there a way that I might be missing that will send when my post has changed, or am I using this right, and the only way I find answers to my post is when I have another issue that I submit a post for, and am reminded that I have posted other issues and go back to them and review, and see there might be three or four post telling me how to resolve my issue. I think Feedback has a button you can click to allow you to be notified of a response. I would say make the button click so you have to turn it off instead of turning it on, but that is something else altogether. Basically, is there a way to know when you have responses waiting for you, or do you have to just keep opening Q/A and looking at your questions to see if they have responses? For me, it would serve as a good reminder to have a message sent to my email that someone has responded to my post. Because without it, life goes on, and I might not think about Q/A until I use it again and find out I had 5 different answers to 5 different posts that I forgot to check back to see the results.

    You will get an email when a post has a new comment or answer.

    Or you can select profile under your sign-in top right of the forum and it will show any posts you have made in Q&A.
