New feature - additional reply notifications

8 Recommendations

Hello everyone. We just added a new feature to help you follow the conversations that you are participating in. You will now get a notification whenever someone replies directly to one of your replies. Previously only the original poster of a discussion or journal entry was notified of new replies.

As you're reading discussions and journal entries, you'll notice that the original post and all of the replies have reply links under them. Just click the reply link under the item that you want to reply to, and we'll let the original poster and the person you're replying to know that you have replied.

We'll send these notifications to you by e-mail by default, but you can opt to receive them here on the site instead. Just visit your message settings page and adjust the setting for "New replies" to change how your notifications are delivered.

We hope this helps you keep in touch with your friends and find the information and support you need. We'll have more features for you very soon!
