How to stop getting stuff in "Show new replies to your posts"

[Arbalest]

I added something to the Simple Questions topic now every time anyone contributes to that entire thread it shows up when I click on "Show new replies to your posts".

Is there a way to stop this?

I would want to know if someone is responding to my post -- but not everything else added there.

Try the "unwatch" button at the top of the page?

I'm guessing you want to see just what people post in direct reply to you? (as in quote you?) If that's what you want there isn't that option here (at least what I know of) But that would be pretty useful.

Then again people might answer you without quoting your post.

Yeah I thought that, would be a flaw in the plan. Although maybe a system where I could go

and it would use the same system the PM thing uses where it links to whoevers name you use.

I believe there is an actual reply structure to threads -- replying to a post (via the quote button) is different from replying to the thread as a whole (which creates a new top-level post that can have it's own reply subtree).  IIRC in profile options you can set up to view threads in reply mode (what email clients usually call "threaded mode") or flat mode (what I think everyone uses).

All this to say that it seems like it should be possible to get what Tym is describing.
