Suggest feature: notification of comments on your reviews [resolved]

[Jennifer Coxon]

Is there a way that the system could be set up to send you a notification of comments on your reviews or quoted one of your posts?

One of the ways it is suggested to improve your popularity is by commenting in the forums and getting to know the other members, but I feel this would be made easier if you knew a member had either commented on one of your reviews, so that you know to interact back if you wish to. I think it would particularly help if someone commented on an older review of another member that the member may no longer look back at.

There may be something in place, but so far all of my notifications have been “post approved” and I haven’t found anywhere that tells me someone has recently commented on a particular post with the exception of the number tally on the review history page.

I would be interested to know thoughts on this as to whether others would find it useful and if it is a possibility.

Hi.

Thank you for reaching out. You can choose to receive notifications whenever someone comments on your review. At the bottom of the review, there's a spanner () icon. When you click on it, you will see a "subscribe topic" option. Click on this to receive notifications about activities on this review.

I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Thank you.

Thanks. That helps me with staying in touch with people who choose to interact with me. But how does it help when you are trying to build your pool of interaction by commenting on others’ reviews. Is the subscription to the topic tool well known? Would people dislike an unsubscribe version rather than a subscribe version?

Hi.

Thank you for reaching out. You can update the kind of notification you'd like to get via the notifications settings page on the UCP. The subscribe version is better because you only get notifications from what you'd like to be notified about.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
