Discourse: reply notification by email
Jul 16th, 2006, 5:33pm  
Hi,

It would be nice to have an option to "subscribe" to threads and receive and email when a new reply is posted on those threads.

When I post a new message I have to keep coming here again and again to see if I was answered.

Regards,
Nuno

I was just about to post a similar suggestion.

Perhaps when posting a message, you could be given the option
to click a box to be notified by email about replies on the same thread.

I think this would be an important feature for engaging the
processing community, since it would encourage people to post more often
(rather than not bother since it is tedious to keep checking the site)
and draw them back in promply when replies occur.  This would reduce
the latency between people exchanging postings, encouraging more dialogue.


Here would be another useful feature:
When I click on a user's profile (because she made an informative posting)
it would be nice if I could see a list of other postings by the same user
since we may share interests and they may be equally informative.
