Suggestion for the NWB site

Posted By : Scott - Metalleeka | Comments : 11

what do you guys reckon?

Mr NWB, would it be possible to make it so that you get an email informing of a post, for blogs that you've posted on as well as just the blogs you've created.

Would be cool to see if someone has commented on one of your posts, but it also allows you to keep tracks of the blogs you're interested in, especially when they disapper of the hot blogs list.
You know, similar to when you leave a comment on facebook, then you get an email every time someone responds to that comment.
I suppose the only downside is you could potentially get bombarded by emails every time someone makes a post lol

Just an idea

cheers

Good idea! - I did think about something similar, and wondered what could be done to prevent a zillion emails being sent from my server everytime some makes a blog comment.

Leave it with me, and I'll have a ponder.

I already get an email whenever someone adds a comment on a blog or pm's me.

Even if it wasn't an email, but a way of 'subscribing' to a thread to know and follow the ones youve previously posted in - that would definately be handy

normally you only get an email on a last visited basis.. ie: there may be more replies but you wont be sent notification of them until you visit the site..

@Steelfield - Yeah, that seems like a good approach. I might put a checkbox next to the "add comment" button, which says "send me email notification of new comments".

yeah that might work

I have an idea........how about a section dedicated to fans sending gig pics in (preferably the ladies with their nawks out)

so do i, it must be just the way your e mail is set up, all these things allready exist on my computer. i get notification of face book and myspace comments, yes, somedays you are bombarded with stuff but its rare you miss anything at all, nawks included lol
