This conversation is no longer open for comments or replies and is no longer visible to community members. The community moderator provided the following reason for archiving: IMDb boards
Is there a way to track replies to a topic in the message boards without to manual go to each topic?
Example, for me to know if anyone replies to this, I will need to come back and check rather than be notified. If IMDB does not support it, are there 3rd party utilties that do?
IMDB is great, but the message boards are over a decade old and have only seen minor improvements. It truly looks like message board from the 1990s.

There are problems with the reply notification. The biggest one is that many posters do not know how to properly reply to your message. About half of the notifications I get are actually replies to other posters. Also there is no notification of replies to the one who replied to you.
What is really needed is a way to subscribe to threads, so we get notification on anything posted in that thread. That's what we have here and it works much better.

DrakeStraw, I agree many users do not reply directly to a post and thus do not trigger an email notification. The only alternative I've found is to monitor the board to which I post, but even then I occasionally miss replies.
