email topic notifications re-enabled

I've just re-enabled the "topic reply" notification emails. From now on, you can be notified via email whenever you post in a topic and there has been a new reply since you last visited that topic. In the email, you will get a direct link to the last place at which you viewed the topic.

You should only get an email notification on the next reply since your visit to the topic -- i.e. if five members post since you last visited, you'll only get one email that links to post made by the first of those five. Once you visit the topic and leave again, you'll get an email notification the next time someone replies, and so on...

To enable/disable email notifications for topic replies, go to "my profile", and then "my account". Click on the "subscriptions" tab and there you will see the checkbox to enable/disable "for new forum topic replies".

In a couple of weeks I'll be updating the links on your "my topic replies" pages so that they link to the last place you visited the topic, instead of the last post in the topic as it is doing now.

Feedback welcome!

Awesome! I am glad you're doing the links on my topic replies to go to the last place we post, instead of the end. That way you don't have to wade through a million posts to get to where you were. Thanks!!  

Well right now this is only for email replies -- your "my topics" links from within your profile pages still go to the last post instead of the last viewed post. I thought it would be best to wait a week or so before changing these, because otherwise only some topics will link to next posts, and others will link to last posts (this is only because we are only now recording last post data, whereas previously we only flagged whether a topic was read or not...).
