And yes the Notify plugin was as per Sara's suggestion. Shame I can't simply see the subscriptions for every post on one page. I may have to write a little PHP hack for that ;) Oh definitely, there's no point checking back if you've just paid someone a compliment, although I tend to only comment if I've got something more to say than that (I'm not saying that's bad just posting that though ;) )

For example, if it was just "Great post, I like it." then it would be pointless to keep track of. However if it was something that might be worthy of a response like "No, I don't think anyone should get a Mac cos it sucks." then yeah. I'll probably check back. I notice that you have this "Notify me of followup comments via e-mail". I suppose that's the one Sara posted? :) I think I'm going to install it soon, after WP's latest patch that is.

I guess I never saw it before so didn't realise it was there (or maybe not, depends on the plugin too I guess). However it's there now so hope it's of use to you and others :) Yes I see the Manage Subscriptions link now!

Thanks to 'David' (whoever that may be!) for letting me know that the notify box was out of line in Firefox. Should all be fixed now :) However I've now added the Subscribe to Comments via Email, for anyone that so wishes to use it ;)

Andreas, I've never heard of co.mments.com so I'll have to have a look at that plus check out your post :) Si, I know what you mean, I do subscribe to a few comment feeds but when some have 20 comments you can really get lost! Sara, I often see the subscribe to comments option however I always untick it as I can find myself receiving an email months down the line, and haven't worked out how to unsubscribe from the comments! Thanks for the comments guys.

Sometimes it's difficult though as trying to be part of the discussion on one blog/forum can be different mind set on another.... If that makes sense. Sounded right in my head lol If I can I add the comment rss feed into netvibes where I have a dedicated "Comments" tab.
