Tech Note: Email Comment Notifications Improved
The new feature of the day is an option for registered users to subscribe to a thread of comments, but only receive replies to your own comments.
At the bottom left of the comment posting form is a pop-up menu that displays these choices:
Not subscribed is the default state. You won’t get any email. Select this option if you want to cancel your subscription to a comment thread.
Email all comments sends you an email copy of every new comment posted in the thread, starting when you subscribe. This can be overwhelming with comment threads for front-page articles, but works well for LGF Pages authors who want to keep track of comments on their Pages.
Email replies to me sends you an email for every new comment that is a reply to one of your comments. This can help prevent missing replies in a long thread. (A reply is any comment that contains the LGF standard reply line, produced by clicking the “Reply” or “Quote” button on a comment’s header line.)
