Bad for discussions though.
I've often posted questions, gotten good replies I wanted to follow up on, but didn't realize until weeks later when the thread was stale. I usually take discussions to message boards with basic UX like content notifications.
- nosianu 5y agoWhat I do is, for the few threads where I think it's useful, I keep a browser tab open with only the specific thread I want to watch (click on a comment's timestamp to open only the thread below that comment). Alternatively, you can use the second menu item "Threads" for an easy overview over all your comment threads including replies to your comments. This also has the advantage over notifications that you decide when to look at the discussion, instead of waiting for notifications (immediate discussion thread notifications - a great evil of our time).
- TAKEMYMONEY 5y agoSo like notifications with extra steps? I can already do that on sites that have basic discussion features, by turning those features off and opening a bunch of tabs.
