First, I note that you tried to use dBcode in your topic title, and it didn't work. I don't recall ever seeing such code work in the main title, but I think it does work in the subtitles (thus test).
Everyone - Don't abuse using the dB code or HTML (or smilies) in the subtitles, or it will have to be disabled. Besides, it might make people, including antlered ones, cranky.
Now, per getting notices to replies to your messages:
The sure way (unless it malfunctions, which it occasionally does) to get notices to all replies to all you messages is to make use of the "Email Notification" option in your profile. Check "yes" there, to enable it. Then you will get an e-mail everytime anyone replies to any of your messages. The info will include the topic name, message number replied to, and the message number of the reply. You do not get notices if you reply to one of your own messages.

Added by preposting edit: I note that in using the "preview" feature, the "bold" code does not work in the subtitles, but the "italics" code does work. A bit odd. I didn't test using HTML or smilies.
Edit: Fixed other things.
