For PMs, try looking in your User CP (All the way at the top of the page)>Edit Options. It has a few things that you may find useful.

And if you're interested in what people say about you, you can always search, with your name or global as the search term. I don't think there'd be a way to automatically have the forum do this (quote/reply, sure, but notify you on your name is... less likely. Not to mention all the permutations of names - I rarely see, for instance, Memphis_Bill. Memphis, MB, M_B, M_Bill, Bill, etc, sure - so that trigger wouldn't really do anything for me.)

I'm not sure if this is already available - if it is I've never ever spotted it.
So, what I'm suggesting is pretty much a notification system (pretty much like facebook). It would be a simple feature, an icon that would notify you of the following:
- When someone mentions your global.
- When someone quotes you.
- When someone replies on a thread of your interest (not sure if there's already a "watch thread" feature).
- When someone PMs you.
- and whatever other options that might be of interest. Actually there could be an option to configure your own preferences (ie: notify only when someone quotes you).
I just find this easier than refreshing and sailing through all the sections and subsections until I get to the thread I'm interested in.
If there's a similar system already, I'd appreciate it if you could tell me how it works.
