""Notify me via email when someone posts" option"
Posted by RollDdice on 06-22-05 at 03:12 AM
This friendly checkbox no longer exists when posting in a thread. When checked, an email was sent anytime someone added to the thresd. Was eliminating the option a policy change or is it a temporary situation? Was it a strain on the servers?

I never realized how much I relied on that little checkbox.

yeah, why did that get removed?

I don't come here much, but when I do, I reply to topics and click that box, so I know someone else has posted in it. It really saves time, I have a slower computer, and this site takes awhile to load, so it was nice to know whether or not there were new posts to read.

Please bring it back!!!!!!!

i thought i was going crazy, because i noticed it too. i liked it because it would allow me to keep track of all the posting i made...well sort of..

so is it gone permanently?

It was removed due to the limitation that the functionality did not include a corresponding "unsubscribe" capability. If I am able to add such a capability, it will return, but it's not a high priority.

Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.
