How do I get email notifications when someone replies to my blog?

I recently started using my blog on this site more frequently, and I thought I enabled email notification when someone replies to a blog post of mine, but I never received any such notification. I only happened to look at my actual blog and noticed someone posted.

Specifically what I did was go to Blog User CP, and under the Default Subscription Mode: Blog Comments

(that says "when you post a new comment, you can choose to automatically add the blog entry to your list of subscribed entries, with the option to receive email notification of new comments to that blog entry"),

I picked the "Instantly, using email" option.

Is that wrong? Is there another option I'm supposed to check off or something..?

Help is appreciated!

When you are in the blog itself there should be an option that says, "subscribe to this blog". It should be at the bottom of the blog. Try that out and see if that works.

Thanks for the response, but I think I already did that. I don't see any subscribe option at the bottom of my blog page, but near the upper right with my avatar (with things like go to profile, add as friend, mark as read) and it gives me the option to UNsubscribe, so I guess I did it anyways, lol.

Still not sure what to do then, hrmm...

Hi, you can try this:

In your Blog Settings > Permissions & Privacy >Default Subscription Mode: Blog Entries > Instantly, using Email > Save Changes.

It should work for all new blog entries you make.

For already posted entries, then go to that post and click at the bottom right on Subscribe to Blog Entry > Instant notification by email > Add Subscription.

If it doesn't work it means that the subscriptions are not working properly on Blogs. Do post again after you're done with the testing ^^
