Hmmmm, am I missing something? A "replies" feature.

So, I've read most of the FAQ, and have knocked around my UCP a fair bit, but I haven't noticed a way to check for replies to my posts. Am I missing it, or does it not exist? Thanks!

The vBulletin software (our message board software) calls that subscribing to a thread. I have a how to on that here.
Quote:
Thread Subscriptions
*If you post a new thread, or reply to a thread, you can choose to be notified by email when someone else replies by scrolling farther down the page on which you compose your reply to the dropdown box that says Thread Subscription - Notification Type. Choose how you wish to receive updates to the thread, click the Submit button, and you are subscribed.
*If you want to get updates of new replies for all threads you post to, click USER CP at the top left. Then on the CP page, the fourth link on the left is Edit Options. Click that. Then on the options page, scroll down to Messaging & Notification. Under that it will say: Default Thread Subscription Mode. Use the drop down menu beneath it to select how you want to be notified (email, no email, etc). Scroll to the bottom of the page, and click Save Changes.
*If you'd like to watch threads but not reply to them - At the top right of the thread above the first post is in there is a link called 'Thread Tools'. Clicking that gives you a drop down menu. One of the choices is 'Subscribe to this thread'. Choose that and it will take you through choosing if you want emails or just track it in your USERCP, etc. for that thread.
Once you are subscribed, all subscribed threads will also show on the front page of your UserCP, regardless of how you chose to subscribe.

HTH!

That's not my issue. I am subscribed, and see them updated just fine. I'm wondering about, more specifically, when someone replies to my exact post. Is there something for that?

You mean like RSS for blogs? The software in its current form doesn't send the body of text of all replies to members. To read replies you need to click the link provided in the email or in your UserCP, go to the actual thread, and read the reply.
