When you write in multiple forums its hard to go back and find each response directed to you in each thread. It would be really nice if in a forum before typing you could click on people's post and control select them to select multiple people's posts. Than it could hilight them and when you reply it notifies them. Than they could click each notification and it would take them to the forum with your post hilighted one color and there response a new one. Eh?

i REALLY like this idea.

I would also like to see some kind of "subscribe" button for threads and journals and maps.

There is a subscribe button for the threads. It's the slightly hidden [T] in the upper right. "Forums > Site Comments and Suggestions > [T]"

Perhaps it should be slightly less discrete though. I'd never have guessed unless I was here when it was put there in the first place.

Perhaps there should be a button next to the

[Show BBCode]

thingies?

I mean, every other web forum i've ever seen simply has a "subscribe" or "watch" button on the bottom of the page.. =/

Wish i knew about this sooner! is there a way to make it email you upon new posts?

nah, but that's just messy. Would you really use it? Imagine one e-mail for each response. It'd be like the facebook mailbox rape you get before you find out how to turn it off

i use it for Interlopers, mapcore, youtube and some others already, and it seems to work fine. STILL, i can't believe i NEVER notices topic alerts before!

I will admit though for REALLY active threads, like "those simple questions" at 'lopers, i turn off subscribe, cuz my phone buzzes every 5 minutes with a new update.

The automatic mailing system on facebook made me want to shoot myself, but I guess we're all different. At least this would be voluntary.

It doesn't work. I never asked about the feature, but I tried using it in the past. Even though I press that T, it still says I'm not tracking any threads in the cp.

Striker: It hated you fsr, but now it doesn't. =)

Maddy: particularly nice if you can update from your android or whatev smartphone, i get a msg from gmail for every response, and i can answer/ignore or unsubscribe once i get the answer i need from the thread. I find it EXTREMELY useful when i'm away from my laptop for long periods of time.

I just read this. The solution to an email for every response, would be having the system store the date/time when the last email was sent, and the last time you visited the thread. That way, it could send you just one email (at the cost of not knowing beforehand how many replies there were, but I still prefer it that way) until you visit again.

The same could be done to journals and maps.
