9/18/2013 11:21:16 AM Posted: 6 years ago First, I love this feature. Sometimes I spread myself thin in the threads I'm participating and lose track of the back-and-forth conversations I'm having, often resulting in me compulsively checking all of the forums I frequent.
However... I think I'm coming to rely on this feature too much. I've noticed that there is a small, but non-trivial amount of "replies" to posts which aren't technical replies in the sense that they generate (e.g. Creating a post via "Add Post" instead of "Reply & Quote" but mentioning another person by name and/or responding to something they've said). My reliance on this feature has basically resulted in less frequent visits to those forums and only going there if I receive a notification of a direct reply. In the end, I'm still missing a number of "responses" and have to check forums and threads anyway. Not a sermon, just a thought. |

9/18/2013 1:46:47 PM Posted: 6 years ago I've actually thought about it before, and I'm definitely lazier about it now. I used to read through the entire thread, and I don't do that as much anymore.
