When people posted on specific threads, the replies would only go to that specific person. Since this was the case and probably the best way to do it, many people, who had posted years and years ago; would never be alerted to reply back.
Now I could see one con to doing this- the reason they made it that way was so that the OP would not be barraged with unsolicited notifications.
I think you are wrong. I used to get email notifications that someone replied to a post I had made years before.
shareNo, I think he's saying that you should get a notification if someone has posted in a thread you've created (or even just posted in), even if it wasn't a reply to your post. I actually think that the possibility to (un)suscribe to a thread is not a bad idea.
shareOh lord, who needs that!
shareWell, like arvin pointed out, the OP or any other poster who replied to the thread and may be interested in other replies. People don't always reply to the OP or discussions may spin off. It's a feature that can keep threads active. And if you're not interested you can always unsubscribe.
shareIf you would rather go back to IMDb's way and keep your sanity, that could be one option as well. Thing is, there would be many dead boards, as there are right now, and there would be no incentive to visit those boards.
shareGreat point!
shareyeah, would be good to be able to notify more than just the person directly above you. maybe you can choose who you think should be alerted. often it can be 2 or 3 people out of the whole thread, not just one and not all of them
shareI would think it would work better with just a follow or a reply all button that one can unsubscribe from. Imagine having all these check boxes you have to check, just to know who you want to be replied from.

I never received an email notification from IMDB.
Did you sign up for them in your preferences? I did, and almost always got them. Every once in a while there'd be some kind of glitch and they wouldn't come through. Otherwise, they were pretty reliable.
share
Oh you had to sign up for them! Dopey old me, I didn't know that.
Just the other day, I saw someone with an almost identical username to yours. It was MovieManCin without the 2. I think last I saw the guy was on the Lion boards. This was his IMDb account name.

That was me, arvin. When I signed up on MovieChat, they wouldn't let me use MovieManCin, so I simply
added the 2.

Oh you had to sign up for them! Dopey old me, I didn't know that.
But then you did sign up for IMDb and should have received email notifications right?
LOL Classic.
shareI would still like to see this implemented, although the idea has been elaborated on. Will we get this or the "follow" button? Awaiting...
shareThis forum is fine. All it needs are reviews.
shareIt obviously is not fine Barclay, as there is so much left to do!
shareJust to be able to post reviews. That's all that is missing. I'm surprised that nobody has suggested that or that reviews aren't already an option of a forum about movie chat.
If you actually read threads, you would know there are probably 20 on here that came up with your undiscovered suggestion.
Then again, you think all of them are stupid so....
Do you think that you would like being a celebrity?

No genius created these thread topics....
At least I'm not mentally ill like you. Lol
shareMy illness is stability. I am wondering if your version of normal is instability?
Hmm?
Hey, I would never judge someone with a mental illness; it is a pretty gnarly condition.
Denial isn't a river in Africa, my friend.
I know creating a real quality thread is difficult for you but taking the lazy way out and trolling is a poor excuse.
None of your threads are anywhere close to real quality.
I could come up with answers to them in a heart beat and even one worded answers.
But just to poke at Bennie's questions...
"Do you think that you would like being a celebrity?"
Who asks that?
"I want everyone on this board to create a topic right now"
But yet, you decide what is a good thread and a bad thread?
"Do you like it when people learn from you?"
Are you learning things from other people? Because you surely are not teaching many people with these threads.
People usually go to threads that are mentally stimulating. This is why your threads do not make it to more than 25 replies, if that.
[deleted]
I have fans and I reply to them.
You never think anything is remotely stimulating and that is on you.
Fans?! It's like the same 5 people you're talking to! Lol
share5 more than respond to you Bennie!
shareThe same 5 people reply to me as well. They like replying to stuff. The difference is that I don't always reply back to them like you do. Accumulating posts on the general board is not my objective. I'd rather discuss movies and tv shows but there isn't much traffic on the individual boards, which people have been complaining about.
shareSo then why do you not take the time to put a thread, with the movie and t.v. show title and URL in the body of it?
It is clear you do not do that because you have multiple sock accounts and it is better to get a rise out of people than establish a traffic foothold on your message boards of choice.
Because not enough people reply! I normally, post in the thread that asks what you watched this week. There are fresh names in that thread, enough to start conversations with.
I could ask you the same. Why do you never create a thread about a movie or tv show instead of the troll threads you have been making? Hmm?
Because you have not looked very far into my profile history (oh great, now an easy way for a sock account to stalk me). I do create those threads. Additionally, I am a major contributor to this site as well. Check my posts + reply count. I do not have the fans I do because I have multiple sock accounts, Bennie.
shareNo I don't check past posts on profiles. I do read the trending titles and have yet to see any posts from you in them.
I always see you in general discussion. I check this board everyday.
Or every 11 days? ;)
shareI really don't keep track, stalker.
shareOh okay then...
*multiple sock accounts why would you need to keep track*
Give it up Bennie.
You insult people on here "most people here have nothing much to say either way".
You think their replies "are boring" and "lack originality".
You do not take the time to reply to those very people around you.
"If I wanted more responses then I would be replying to everything as well. But usually the replies I get aren't stimulating enough."
So really, you are on here to get a rise out of whoever you can, before you leave and come back after "x" amount of days.
We know it's you Ben!
No. My objective is very different. I'm here to discuss movies and tv shows. I'm not here to post nonsense on the general boards. I tried it and got bored with it. I'm not like you.
As far as insulting people. I think the lack of new members to this site and the lack of posting on the individual boards is proof enough that the 5 people who post regularly aren't interesting enough to bring in more new people to reply.
And there you go with insulting our fellow members "I think the lack of new members to this site and the lack of posting on the individual boards is proof enough that the 5 people who post regularly aren't interesting enough to bring in more new people to reply."
Your objective is to be a nuisance and I have to give it to you, you are completing that objective!
I'm only stating the obvious. It's common sense. If those 5 people were more interesting, more fresh faces would contribute.
If you're annoyed with me, then don't talk to me. Simple. But you're going to continue because you have nothing better to do with your life. Troll.
Bennie, I would never be annoyed with you.
It would be much easier to not write to me because you could change accounts in a blink of an eye.
I have no idea who this Bennie person is. You might be a tad paranoid.
Are we done yet? This back and forth with you is a waste of energy.
Oh I see Bennie, are you going to change accounts now? Go right ahead.
shareWell it's official. I think that you are a truly off your rocker.
We can end this discussion. I'm bored with you now. Get a life.
Only, you are still writing on my thread Bennie.
shareI'm through.
Congratulations on trolling me. It won't happen again though. I promise you that much.
You know it will not because you will just come back with another account name.
shareDon;t you find it curious, arvin, that almost this exact same conversation (on his side, that is) takes place every time bennie gets busted? He has this ridiculous image of himself being clever, but is actually quite unimaginative and, well, let's say mentally challenged
sharePeople write that, even with the ignore button, email notifications pop up. If one goes to the profile, does it not offer the option to turn "on or "off" email notifications? In my profile, it offered me that choice.
