I'm really new at this so if this is a dumb question I apologize:
Is there a way for an email to be sent when someone replies to your post/reply?
Thx

Its called "Subscriptions". Search for that term and you will find a ton of posts about them - for and against their use. (For the record, I stand in the "if you must, use sparingly" crowd - I think RSS is a much better way to go, but that's just me)
There's also a tutorial floating around that shows you step-by-step instructions on enabling subscriptions in your forum.

Bear in mind, that if your forum is even remotely busy, you could end up crippling your mail server with the amount of subscription mails that would be sent out. Best, as Anon said, to use them only where you absolutely must - for example, here, you can only subscribe to topics in the security announcements forum.

Thanks guys!
But if I turn on Board Subscription in the admin options the Subscribe link shows up at the Board and Forum level but not in Topic. Any other level that I select in admin options and the Subscribe links go away. I really just want it at the Topic level. At this point we are a fairly closed forum and will only have 30 or so members but I also saw the mod for limiting subscription emails. I've already installed a couple of mods (polls, security) and they appear to be working fine so I may install the email limit mod. Again, thanks for the responses!

Check out this tutorial one of the members (I want to say it was Podge, but for the life of me I can't remember...) put together: http://www.forumco.com/articles/tutorials/subscriptions.html<
And this place is a hole, anyway. England's full of English 
so that leaves Australia as your only option!
