Subscribing to Forums
-
We currently have a "Subscribe" button on the Lounge that allows you to subscribe to the Lounge Lizard to get your daily fix of the top lounge posts. Is there interest in having notifications sent at the time new posts and/or replies are posted on the Lounge? On the programming forums? On any forum you care to name? Or is a Daily Digest better? Or the choice of both?

I thought that is what the "Watch" feature was for. You bookmark something and click the "Watch" thing. Granted, I have never actually been able to get any hits/results from this, but I thought that is what it was supposed to do and just blamed my old browser for messing something up. BTW, I just noticed the hover menu for the user name on the top right has a "My Watched Items" entry, but it goes to an "Unable to load the requested member's information." message. Soren Madsen

No. But if you did could it filter by reputation or something?

Not for me. The only notifications I would continue to use is the one when some one posts a reply to a message or posts a message to an article of mine. The only thing I think is missing, is notification when an article I have bookmarked has been updated.

Just another thing that popped into my head was user subscriptions or follow. i.e. I could visit a users profile and flag a follow, this would then notify me if that user posts a new article or tip, as sometime I miss them due to all the other traffic on the site.

No. But if you did could it filter by reputation or something?
As in: subscribe to messages from members who have X or greater rep? (and I thought I'd explored all ways of melting our database) Interesting. I give it some ponder time.

Right, though that may not make sense for the programming fora; only for Lounge etc.

If I could subscribe to, say, unanswered MVC3 questions in the QA forum, I'd do that for sure.

If the Subscribe function allowed a filter to be set to narrow results, it would be useful. For instance, if I've wasted the weekend trying to get a serial port class to control a MODBUS RTU, and I could subscribe to
Serial && MODBUSin the C# forum, that would be useful. But simply subscribing to the forum itself would only add to the huge amount of email I have to wade through every day.Will Rogers never met me.

In addition to this I would like to get notified when, 1. an article which I have voted/bookmarked has been updated 2. Comments modified where I have replied already 3. Option to subscribe/follow a member so that I will get notified when that member posts anything relavent.
