2009-08-16 18:06:42 Eleanor Berger description Now that Add a comment is AJAXy, there is no longer an option to subscribe at the same time. I propose adding a second button that would allow the user to subscribe. Now that Add a comment is AJAXy, there is no longer an option to subscribe at the same time. Instead users should be subscribed automatically and prompted to unsubscribe if they prefer not to receive bug mail.

2011-05-15 09:24:03 Robert Collins description Now that Add a comment is AJAXy, there is no longer an option to subscribe at the same time. Instead users should be subscribed automatically and prompted to unsubscribe if they prefer not to receive bug mail. Symptoms ======== When a user comments on a bug they are not subscribed to, they won't be notified of replies made to that bug. This can be confusing/frustrating. Analysis ======== We certainly don't want to send mail to folk that don't want mail, and because we don't thread bug discussions we can't [in the current design] infer a reply to a specific user. Possible solutions ================== * Subscribe commenters who would not receive follow up mail [and tell them so they can unsubscribe] * Have a checkbox ([ ]subscribe to this bug) beside the comment button for folk that who would not receive follow up mail.
