Bell Notifications
I turned off email notifications because I hate getting an email when every time there is a post. But what I would like its to get a notification on replies to threads in the little bell icon within the forum. Every other forum I belong to I can do this, but I can't figure it out here. Help resolving this is appreciated.

Not sure I understand. There is email notifications, which you disabled, and then there is simply notifications that aren't emailed but are shown in the UserCP under Subscribed section. If you're talking about the upper-right bell icon, I don't believe that was ever used for thread subscriptions as it's part of the core software.

You will notice a "View all Subscribed Threads" link there, which is:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...n&folderid=all
That shows your entire subscriptions.
What you want is "no email notification". Therefore, you're subscribed but won't receive email notifications.
The FAQ contains basic information on using the site:

Specifically, if you type in Subscriptions you will see the following:
What are subscriptions?
Subscriptions are a way of keeping track of different threads or forums. You can choose how you are notified about updates - for example by having them listed in your User CP and receiving email updates for each one.
How do I subscribe to a thread or forum?
To subscribe to a forum, click the 'Forum Tools' link above the list of threads then select 'Subscribe to Forum'. You will then have the option to choose the subscription mode for this forum. If the forum that you are subscribing to has any child forums (forums within a forum) then your subscription will be extended to these automatically.
To subscribe to a thread, click the 'Thread Tools' link at the top of the list of posts then click 'Subscribe to Thread'. You can then choose the subscription mode that you wish to use for that thread.
What subscription modes are available?
There are a number of different forum subscription modes available.
Thread subscriptions can be sorted into folders for easy management. You can create as many folders as you wish by going to 'Edit Folders' in the 'Subscribed Threads' section of your User CP. To add a new folder, enter the folder name into one of the blank boxes and save the page. To delete a folder, delete the folder name. Editing a folder is done by simply editing the folder name in the list.
You can also manage your individual subscriptions by clicking 'List Subscriptions' under 'Subscribed Threads' in your User CP. Here you can select which subscriptions you wish to manage and delete them, move them to another folder, or change their subscription type.
Forum subscriptions are not managed through the List Subscriptions page and are shown on the User CP page where they contain the option to unsubscribe from the forum.

What subscription modes are available?
There are a number of different forum subscription modes available.
- No Email Notification - lists the subscription in your User CP only. You do not receive any notifications about new posts or threads in the forum.
- Daily Email Notification - sends one email a day with the new and updated threads in the forum and any sub-forums. If there are no new or updated threads in the forum or its sub-forums then you will not receive an email.
- Weekly Email Notification - sends one email per week in the same way as the Daily Email Notification.
- Instant Email Notification - sends an email as soon as a new post is added to the thread. This is not sent for every reply and will only be sent once until you revisit the forums.
