Notification of forum response?

Hey all,

Just wondering if there was a setting somewhere that I'm missing that enables email notifications or something to responses after yours in the forums. Like, a topic subscription system? If not, would love to see one in the future. Thoughts?

  • So long as it was optional, I'd be fine with one being implemented :)
    I personally don't like e-mail notifications. Often (on other sites) I get all excited checking my mail to see the "Someone has responded to your post!" message. 
    I rush on over to the site. What could they have posted?!!! Ooo tell me tell me!
    *opens thread*
    "LOL" 
    :(

    I have way too much time on my hands, so I constantly know about responses to my posts and whatnot. more so over the last few days.

    an email notification option would be great, but if it means taking away from Glitch (someone or someones would have to set it up), then my answer is no.

  • I have to agree with bored. And with as involved as I am, receiving a bajillion e-mails would be distressing. Great idea, but even better when optional.

  • An alternative would be a way to see all the threads that you have contributed to.  I often forget the original topic I commented on, and when the forums get busy those threads may be several pages back if you check in a few days later.

  • It's worse at FB.  I have disabled almost every notification, all but technical or alerts from FB.  Still, my mailbox is full of FB notifications.  Are they replies to my posts?  NO!  they are replies that other people have made to some post I also replied to  :-(  Isn't social networking fun?

  • Yes, I'm sitting here searching for forum topics I've posted in, but searching only finds messages where my name was actually mentioned :P  I've never really liked forums because they're a pain to navigate, but the ones here are even worse...
