Tech Note: Email Comment Notifications, Now Active
Registered LGF readers have a new way to keep track of comments: you can now subscribe to an email list for any thread of comments (either a front page article or an LGF user’s Page), simply by clicking a checkbox. Any thread that allows comments now has a checkbox to enable/disable this feature, located at the lower left of the comment posting form.
I highly recommend setting up a mail rule to automatically file this email in its own folder, because it can be a little like turning on a firehose if you’re not ready for it.
Here’s how I handled it: I created a folder in my Apple Mail program called ‘LGF Comments’, then set up a rule to move incoming emails to that folder if they’re from ‘mailbot -at- littlegreenfootballs.com’ and the subject line starts with ‘[LGF Comment]’.
