Forum email subscriptions

I think that getting email notifications of replies to messages is nice. It would be nice to know every time someone posts to a forum, too. This would be nicest to implement on the big message boards, but it would also be nice, say, for an author to get a notification any time someone posted a message on a thread attached to his/her articles.

This is on our TODO list. It requires a large upgrade to infrastructure and hardware due to the amount of messages, members and expected email volume but it will definitely be done. cheers, Chris Maunder

I think this would also be nice, but I'd like to see such an option off by default. Most people ask dumb enough questions and every so often they try responding to one with a dumb answer. There's currently a lot of regulars in each forum that this feature may benefit. Maybe this sounds cruel, but I live in the real world where dumb questions and answers do exist.

Actually, the more I think of it, perhaps it would be better to get RSS feeds implemented for the forums with some of the modules that indicate feedback to a particular item. It'd be less obtrusive than email. Also, I'd rather see an option to have any replies to child messages sent to you. I could imagine that this would put more strain on the DB since you'd have to walk up the parent relationships, but it's just a thought. Finally, speaking of RSS did you ever see my reply about changing the blog RSS titles to use the member name somewhere instead of a generic title that applies to all feeds?
