New YACK Feature: Watcher.
June 8, 2010 - 10:33

Okay, here's another new feature on YACKon.com that I just added. It's called "Watcher" and it allows you to keep an eye on topics that you post in or want to keep track of. The first post in any thread (like this one) has a little eye symbol at the bottom of the post and if you click the text, you can "watch" this topic. If anyone replies to it, you will get an email notification. (notifications are sent out hourly. I can set themmore frequently, but am worried about site performance if I do. I may experiment with it and see how it goes.)
The system is set up to automatically watch any topic you start or comment on. You can change your personal setting by going to "update your account" in the grey box on the left and then click on the "My watched posts" tab and then the "settings" tab." So if you don't want to get a lot of email from the site, you can shut the notifications off.
Let me know what you think.

Forgot to mention another feature of watcher is that you can share your list of watched threads with other users if you choose to. G.

IMHO, great enhancement. Thanks
