E-mail notification of reply to forum posting

Hi Paul

I think this new forum is great -- a big improvement on the old one. Congratulations!

One suggestion: It would be very useful if the forum could send an e-mail notification when a reply has been posted to a topic that you have posted a message to. Is that possible? It's a feature of phpBB, and it's very helpful because it means that you don't have to keep checking the forum to see when a reply comes in.

Subscription feature has

Subscription feature has been added. For each post, forum, news item, book page, etc. user can now click a hyperlink in the footer to subscribe it, so when a new comment is added, user will receive notification by email. User can manage his/her subscription in the "my account" page "my subscriptions" tab.

Thank you for your suggestion.

Thanks for being so

Thanks for being so responsive, Paul. Just two suggestions:

1. At the moment it isn't easy to see on the subscription page which line refers to which forum topic. Is it possible to list the name of the thread, too?

2. I'm not sure what the "merge" function does. I subscribed to two threads, checked both boxes and clicked "merge", and one of the subscriptions disappeared. Is it possible to explain more directly how to use the merge function?
