It looks like they're starting to roll out the ability to "subscribe" to a post and get notified when there are new replies. There's a "Track this" button (the push pin) now on the comments page. Woo!

[Edit: A later posts says that it's permanent account holders only for now, sorry.]

Wow, what a spectacular tool to facilitate a flame war :)

[geekchick]

Nooooooo kidding!

This would be great! And discussions would be less likely to be lost!

I really hate the way LJ threads. Delphiforums is a giant pain in the butt because it's run by secretive jerks, but I love the linear nonthreading of conversations. Each comment just gets tacked on the end and it's up to the participants to appropriately quote text so that conversations are understandable.

Believe it or not, it's a MUCH easier read than LJ's diminishing boxes.

GROGGS is like that. Vox will be too.

I might have to beg someone for an invite at some point, then. Thanks!

[geekchick]

You want? I have one available.

[dawnmipb.livejournal.com]

Okay, if you don't mind sharing! Thank you!

[geekchick]

Not at all. =) It's on the way to your Yahoo address.

Got it! Thank you. Will poke around in there later.....

I'm not seeing it on my comments pages. Could it be a style-related problem? Any ideas or guesses? Coz that sounds like a really useful tool!

permanent account holders only for now.

[geekchick]

As pleonastic said, it looks to be permanent account holders only for right now.

[submarine-bells.livejournal.com]

Darn. Thanks.

No need to be sorry, us permanent account holders have a new toy!

It seems weird to stick my sweetie's page with a pushpin... we haven't pre-negotiated that sort of play, after all...
