Would it be possible to include in thread subscription notices who has posted to the subscribed thread? That would make following Malkovich games much easier. Thanks!

That is a nice idea, but let me point out exactly how our system currently runs and why it runs the way it does before we decide to do something along these lines.

Currently, when a post is made in a subscribed thread you receive a single notification and will not receive another no matter how many posts are made after that current post, until you visit the thread again while logged into your account. When you visit the thread a "switch" persay is flipped and you will receive another notice for the next post made after you log out.

If we switch the system to display a poster, a message would need to be sent out for each post made, this would greatly increase the amount of emails you receive regarding the post. In the malkovitch threads that could be hundreds of emails.
I'm thinking...
