Problem with following your own content

I have changed the system settings to allow new topics posted by members to be automatically followed so they're automatically notified when people reply to their topics.  But apparently, this change only takes effect for members who register after this change was made.  If you want to be notified when people reply to your topics (if like me you often forget to toggle the "follow" button at the bottom of your new topic), go to Account -> Account Settings -> Notification Settings -> Followed Content and click to follow new topics posted by you.

Shortcut to notification settings

Thanks!
