Is there a way to set it up so that if someone replies to a thread you started you get an email notification??

There is!! FAQ - Subheading: EMAILS

Email Notifications
*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 email notices 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 'Instant Email Notification'. Scroll to the bottom of the page, and click Save Changes.
*If you'd like to get email notices for threads you want to watch but not reply to - 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, etc. for that thread.

Hope that helps! There are also a bunch of other factoids in that thread that can help with various MDC features, too.
