Hi I want to get email allerts if someone comments on a thread I've commented on or, when I get an email but I can't find a tickbox for that in my acount's email settings. All the tickboxes seem to be related to email marketing...

The options I have are as follows:

Private Messages

Paizo Email
------------------------------------------------------------
()Paizo may send me the weekly store newsletter
()Paizo may send me marketing information about Paizo products, services or events

()Paizo may send me marketing information about products, services or events on behalf of partner companies by email
()Partner companies may send me marketing information about their products, services or events by mail

The only thing they have that comes close to getting alerts for people posting in thread is the RSS feeds each thread has. Look up in the right hand corner, the orange icon above List This Thread.


I would definitely like an email when I get a PM, if nothing else. Is this a feature that could be added?

Because we have an ecommerce business that relies on other ISPs trusting our mail server as a spam-free source, we're very hesitant to do anything that involves users generating volumes of email to other users. (Frankly, we'd be hesitant to allow that even if we *didn't* have an ecommerce business.)


Being able to subscribe by email to the threads that you are participating in is common practice in massage boards and forums. I'm not sure how Internet Service Providers would object to this, but I'm not an ecommerce business.

You by far provide the best service I have found for PbP RP. So not having this feature is an annoyance, but it's not going to put me off the site.

Forgive me for bringing this thread back to life, though you have provided us with resurrection abilities in this game.

Would you consider it only for the PBP parts of boards, perhaps only for members with [insert high number] number of posts?
