doesn't the 'watching ' thing do this?

Nope, it doesn't ! I just looked at it.

Or, I'm on?

Seems a reasonable idea if you could choose to be in or out for notifications.

That's not the nature of forums. They're not message boards. Just follow the thread in general. Not just the bits you post.

It would be a huge task when a conversation really gets going. People's in-boxes would be bulging.

And what about when someone posts several separate posts one after the other? Would that count as replies. I, for one, would often be replying to myself.

And I would already know that.

Not really so , I am on other forums and they just post replies, you subscribe or not . This surely cannot be beyond the capabilities of GNHQ ?

I think they do that on Twitter. But it's not the same as a thread. Different nature altogether.

Why haven't you put this on site stuff. They are more likely to read it then.

It was just an idea , which I floated across you guys , I for one would like it, but the majority rules . No prob.GN haaaaave kept quiet so guess it is a NO_NO

I have come across it on other sites, but they tend to have a much smaller membership with infrequent posts generally.

As has been said, some people's in-boxes would be bulging - and the replies wouldn't necessarily be in response to your post. How could GNHQ be expected to sort out who was replying to which poster?

The "I'm on" topic is good for that. It lists the threads you have posted on, with the ones with the latest replies at the top. You can see who has posted since you - and the first line of what they said.

Thanks for clearing that up LUCY, Have a good day.
