Is there a way of getting some sort of a notification when someone quotes a post I made? Some forums have that options, I don't know if this one does have it or not.

Can the admins enable or set up that option?

There's an option to "Notify me upon replies by default" in the user control panel, but I'm not sure if that's the same thing or not.
I think that function works for any replies to a topic.

No. It's not really the same thing.

I don't know then.
My guess is that it would be rather difficult to set it up, because the quote is just text formatting in a post. Basically, when you click the quote button, all it does is copy the text of the post, and puts it between quote tags like this.
[quote="username"] text [/quote]
Unless the code searched for exactly that in every post, it wouldn't always work.
I'm not saying it isn't possible, it's just unlikely.

It is possible on other forums but they probably don't use this forum's software.

I browse quite a number of forums and whenever I feel like looking if someone's quoted something I've said, I go and search my name, "Arbystrider", using the forum search function.
Works wonders.

Some new IPBoard forums allow that function.

Sorry, phpBB does not have this feature. There is a MOD out there that provides this functionality:
