comment subscription

[Christian Giordano]

It would be very useful if people who comment could subscribe to the comments (ie. notified by email when someone answered them).

To be honest I think this is a high priority feature.

So, to set expectations properly here:
We have a roughly 1-2 week backlog on trivial (less than 30 minute) requests. We also like to get the security team to take a look at new wordpress plugins (because a bad decision could be catastrophic), which can take weeks as well.

Hi,

I have queued this plugin for security auditing. Please let us know
if your requirements change in the meantime.

Hi,

Could you change the plugin to:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cbnet-multi-author-comment-notification/

This gives better functionality.

Thanks,

Richard

This plugin is so that if any author posts on any post. He/she can subscribe to it so that he gets an email whenever someone comments against that comment.

I have asked IS to audit the original plugin.

This extends to external posters as well as internal authors.

[Richard Henry Lee (rhlee)]

We can't send out emails to external email addresses, so this is essentially useless.

We might move to disqus.
