Hey
I was thinking that it'd be cool if I didn't have to comment to get notifications for a specific post, like if there was a follow button.
Cuz sometimes you don't really have anything to say, or someone has said it already and saying it yourself would be redundant so you decide to not comment and just keep the post in mind and check it every now and then but in the process you miss a lot of replies you would have liked to respond to but were too late.. again...
I have another suggestion too... What if there was a like/favorite button? And everytime you liked a post it was saved in some sort of post gallery of your own, while the poster was notified of the like
that way posters can know that people didn't just open their topic by mistake and leave (it happens), and readers can keep their favorite posts in place and be able to find them more easily (note: readers won't get notifications if they just like a post, they have to follow it in order to get notifications, either that or whatever is easier for whoever programs this site).
I also had an idea for following a specific person... Like if I decided to follow an author so that I get a notification everytime he/she makes a post... this one gives in to trouble and stalking though, so it's just an idea to consider but probably not one to go along with...
Hope someone reads this eventually! This part of the forum seems a bit empty so yea XD
Cheers!
