When someone tags you or posts on a thread by quoting all or part of your post you should get an alert at the top right portion of the page right next to your user ID & inbox option.

 

Is that the littie red circle with a number inside, on top of "Alerts"? So no emails are sent out. Wondering if one can setup alerts to be emailed out. Gonna have to explore a bit I guess.

 

Yes, that is correct. I do get email messages when someone starts a conversation with me or sends a reply to one of my conversations. I have just gotten in the habit of glancing up to the right-hand corner of the page whenever I sign in to the forum to see if there are any alerts.

 

These are Japanese cast iron paperweights, the side with the protruding middle would have a short rope tied to simply lift the weight as needed. The pattern on this side displays various ancient tile patterns, commonly seen as repeated background patterns in Japanese artworks and pottery decorations. The reverse side of your weight shows "the seven great temples of the southern capital" There are others with other details on the underside.

These commonly sell for around 1200yen to around 2000yen, but naturally, there will be outliers.
