Notify me of followup comments via e-mail

Started by aidanf · 9 months ago

Most wordpress blogs have an option "Notify me of followup comments via e-mail" which is checked by default.

I'd like to see something similar where all commenters on a thread are emailed the new comment whenever a new comment is posted on that thread.

    Hi Daniel,

    I saw the notifications option. But I'd like the ability for anonymous commenters or commenters that don't have a disqus account to receive notificaton when a new comment is posted. It's a very common feature in blog comments and it encourages discussion because it keeps pulling commenters back to the discussion.

    Also your comment above appears to be clipped at "..in your ." but the full comment came through in the email I received about it. i.e. "..in your settings."

    Hi aidanf,

    I agree with you. We're working on that as well. Anonymous commenters will have option to receive notifications. Also, thanks for pointing out the clipping issue.

    +1 for this request. I like Disqus but can't switch until this feature is there.

    Having such a feature would build readership, which is good. I'm surprised a plugin does not exist that will do this. If I find something, I'll be sure to post.

    Why are people still requesting this feature? It has been a part of Disqus for a long time..... http://disqus.com/settings/notifications/

    No, the notifications option is different to the feature I was requesting. See my comment above. The notifications option is only available to people with a disqus account. The standard wordpress comment notification will email everyone who commented (if they selected that option when posting the comment ) on a post when a new comment is posted.

    Having a notification would be great for non-members. Most people aren't going to want to signup for an account just for that option and really they shouldn't have to IMO.
