Wouldn't it be great to have a dedicated column in Alerts that only includes whenever someone quotes your replies? Also I suppose if they highlight one's username @user.

I work full time and am without use of my laptop except when getting home. As lives can be busy, one doesn't have the opportunity to reply immediately and so they get buried amongst the constant comments and reactions from watched threads one participates in.

If there was a seperate listing, as mentioned above, it would be much easier to catch up on the back logs.

One solution is to disable "Automatically watch content you interact with…" so the thread you comment on is not automatically added to "Watched" and you receive notifications only about quotes and mentions.

That is one option but I do still want to read posts as they progress. There's other times however I like to formulate decent responses as my pet hate is when folks don't bother to at least reply on their own posts. It's happening to me though due to the intransparent backlog and hence my suggestions to the admins here.

Unfortunately time/ life gets in the way and when I do have time I'm scrolling needlessly looking for older things quoted replies. I mean, even a filter of sorts would help out to list them.
