Quote = Notification: possible?

Occasionally I consort with other eBulletin Boards (A mere dalliance that means nothing, I swear it). One of the most likable enhancements that I have found on the same platform is notification by email when somebody quotes you. It appears that quoting momentarily turns on the subscribe to function. While most anybody who gets down to the arcane in this Suggestions Forum is not likely to need this function, for those slackers who dont monitor all threads all the time, this might be useful.

I would have to admit that I am a slacker. Actually, I'm just a tad absent-minded! Such a feature would be really helpful so that I don't just appear to be ignoring responses.

Let's see if Jailer notices that I responded to this thread!

Anybody who doesn't monitor all of the threads all of the time should be purged from the member rolls.

Anyway, back to the topic, this would be helpful if you could choose to turn the notification on on an individual thread basis, versus a "global" option.

You can - this option has always been available. If you use the advanced reply or reply w/quote option - you can choose the notification type you want for the thread you're subscribing to. This all works with the "my flyertalk" functionality.

Are you sure? I see the "thread subscription" option, but doesn't that notify you whenever anyone posts on the thread -- not just when someone quotes you?

You're correct - thought that was what you wanted in your post (vs the OP). Sorry to confuse the request then.
