How Do You Track Swhs?

How do you keep on top of the "so what happened" updates to questions? Do you just periodically go to the "My Answers" tab to see if there were updates to questions? I'm a slow updater of the SWH for my own questions, so just wondering how others view them.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Helpful replies, thanks! I agree that getting a notification when a SWH to a question I answered is updated would be nice. I hadn't thought of the bookmark thing. Otherwise I'll just stick to routing back through "my answers" or flowers. Thanks!

i usually forget 'em as soon as i've answered! i only see SWH when i look at the flowers, so if no one liked my answer, i never know about it<G>.

At this point, there isn't an easy way to track the SWH.... if there is a particular question I'm wondering about, I'll go check it.... but I usually forget about it and move on. If I get flowers for my response, I usually check to see other responses or ETA or to see if a SWH has been posted.

I don't. You can "save" the question to your bookmarks, but I don't "track" them.

When I get a flower for my contribution, I will look over and see what others have said.

Many people don't update or do a SWH. Oh well....there are some posts that have bothered me - dangerous situations, etc. where I have reached out to the other person and asked how things are...but otherwise? I'm trying not to let mamapedia be a "priority" in my life...does that make sense?

I just happen upon them. It's easier when there is an UPDATED sign on the original post.

I usually go to the My Answers tab and click through them too.

I wish mamapedia would send you an email if someone updated a SWH to a question you have replied to, or there was some type of alert on the web site itself when you logged in.

I try to update them too, but sometimes forget. I'm usually better at updating them is someone specifically says they had the same thoughts and would be following it to see how it turns out.

I wish there were an easy way to see SWH but there doesn't seem to be. I look at my answers to then check back on the ones I'm interested in. I wish more people would write a SWH.

I tend to bookmark those that I am interested in and follow up that way. I would like a message saying A. K. updated her post "How do you track SWHs?" that is one of the common suggestions made when we talk about how to better the site.

I don't, honestly. When someone gives me a flower, I click on the flower to see what it was for. Then I will see a SWH. OR, someone writes the word "Updated" in front of their subject line, so if I answered that question, I look back to see the update.
