@Siliolegma, just set your bookmark to go the Home page when you come here to ATP and every time a new post is made in any thread you are watching (it automatically is set to being watched if you post in it), the thread will be at the top of your home page.
You can get to the Home page by clicking on the House symbol or the All Things Plants logo at the top left side. Or scroll to the very bottom and click the
All Things Plants

If someone mentions your handle @Siliolegma (preceeded by the @ symbol) in a post you will get a T-mail.
Actually, you don't get a t-mail (short for tree-mail, ATP's message system found in the envelope symbol at the top left), the notification shows up in the "Your System Messages", the gray circled letter i that is also at the top left side. It turns blue when you get system messages.
Besides clicking on the head shot at the top, you can also access your own profile, or any other member's profile, by clicking on your user name (or their user name) within a post, easier than scrolling back to the top.
