How to follow a post in the Onshape forum?

I don't see any option for how to follow a post here in the forum.
Only a way to bookmark them. But then you have to check all your bookmarks manually for any new comments.
I would like to get a red new post notification icon on my globe icon (top right of screen) for any new comments on posts I didn't start, but do want to follow. The same as when I get a notification there when someone makes a new comment on a post I did start.
Onshape team, can you explain how to do this please?
Or add this functionality if it's not there?

Under your profile, edit profile, notification preferences - there are a lot of options:

Not so easy to find (for me at least) - so here's a direct link - https://forum.onshape.com/profile/preferences

Thank you Simon (as always).
I had the bell icon selected by default for both New comments on my posts (this is what I want)
and New comments on my bookmarked posts (which should be what I want, but it's not working).
I just checked my bookmarked posts. There's one new comment on each, and I did not receive any bell notification.
I had to manually click the star icon, and only then did I see them.
In fact, some posts I had started also had new comments today, but there was no bell icon AND they don't even show up when I click the earth icon.
For example, the How is Surfacing thread shown above in my Favorites.
So it seems something is not working correctly regarding notifications.
