How do you change the Notification email address?
OK MS, sorry to post this here, BUT this is the only place I can find where I can do a Post -- in fact, I am not even sure I got here. I tried and tried and tried to figure out how to do a Post in a more appropriate community, but after over 1/2 hour of looking, I got back here by selecting a link in one of my Notification emails -- elsewise, I would/could have been wondering around the MS community stuff for hours. So I am modifying my Post question, slightly.
1) How do you select a community and do a Post? I guess I was lucky to find this Excel community when I did, because I sure can't find a way to get back here, save the link in my Notification email.
2) My original question was going to be, how do I change my Notification email address -- which I assume is the address used to notify me that someone has responded to my Post. Anyway, that is the email address I want to change. The email address in my Profile is correct, and is the only email address I can find -- but the emails telling me that soneone has responded to my Post (I hope that is the Notification email address) keep coming to my MS ID email address (the email address I used to set up my MS Account).
I am sure this is a pretty nice Community environment if you can figure it out. but my initial impression is that it is not user friendly and very difficult to use, although the results I received on my first post were top shelf.
I hope there is a moderator reading these posts and maybe he/she can help me out.

Click the menu in the upper left corner and then visit the Info / Welcome part of this site to get acquainted with the layout. There are many people who will be happy to assist you with these things. Click your User ID in the top right to review your profile / settings related to email notifications as well.
OK, thanks -- I will read through the Info / Welcome stuff.
But regarding the Notification -- the Notification of your response came back to my old email address, which is what I am trying to get changed. The Profile you mentioned does have my newer preferred email address in it (already had found that), so apparently that is not the email address used for these Notifications.
I did find another screen that seemed to indicate it was an email address used for something, but there was no email address specified. All that was on the screen was a check-box that I could check if I "did not" want email Notifications sent to me. I suspect from that wording, that this is the place that my Notification email address should be located -- but alas, nothing else on the screen other than the check-box.

Hi Ron, as i remember it was discussed some ago, my understanding notifications in any case go on email assosiated with the account you use to login into this network. But i could be wrong, better if you ask in Discussions on Customer Infor Center here - much more chances people who run this site will find your questions, not sure they track this group.
