You Can Now Subscribe to Comments. Let the Rejoicing Commence

Posted on March 8, 2004

OK kids, as a test I’ve added the nifty EZ Subscribe-to-Comments plugin to this blog. This means that you can opt to get notified by e-mail whenever a comment is posted to a particular item — very handy if you posted one yourself, and you want to know if anyone ever followed up. (Or if you just like stalking people via comment threads on random blogs. Either way, hey, it’s your lucky day.)

The only caveat at this point is that, if you choose to preview your comment, the form won’t remember if you told it to subscribe you — so when you see the preview and approve it for posting, you’ll need to click the “subscribe” option again or else it won’t take. I’m working on hacking the comment forms to make this unnecessary, but for now that’s how it is.
