G'day from down under

Australia that is. 

Even though I must have been looking at this website some time in the past I did not appreciate it's value. It's great with lots of useful information particularly for a beginner like me. 

I'm a 70YO wannabe piano player, should have learned music when I was a lot younger but opted to learn electronics instead, now I have a lot more "spare time" so back to the keyboard.

I have a Yamaha PSR-EW410 and I love it, unfortunately the music only reaches my wrists and doesn't go down to the finger too well, I'll see a doctor about that.......

When I got to 70 I found its not just your fingers which won't respond to messages from your brain- it's almost everything. If your doc in Australia has a cure for that there might be a lot of us on a plane.

Thanks for your posts etc. :-) I just checked in but I'm not getting any posts notifications, are there any setting I have missed?

[Roger Brenizer]

Click on your Avatar or Username and then navigate to Modify Profile...Notifications.  You'll find the settings you need there.

I got this reply  the only thing I did this morning (apart from adding my beautiful avatar....) was to check the box "Allow users to email me", that must have fixes it.

[Roger Brenizer]

You also placed a "Check Mark" in "Turn notification on when you post or reply to a topic", in Notification Settings.  That's what triggered the response, John.

Another neat way which doesn't keep sending you email is to log in, then hit the 'show new replies to your posts' at the top left. But I would say most members just log in and quickly scan down the opening page of  recent posts, (which should be how your forum opens up if you bookmark at that page) to see what posts interest them. And if you mark it to stay logged in you just hit the bookmark icon and you open up already logged in.
