A New Feature: Post Tracking

I just rolled out a new feature many of you have been asking for called "post tracking." Post tracking is the star to the right of the comment button. The star lets you know by it being highlighted or not if you are tracking a post.

If you track a post you will get notifications whenever anyone comments on the post. If you want to stop getting notifications on a post, click the star to stop tracking it.

If you create or comment in a post you will automagically track it.

Tracking specifies you and everyone else's interest in the post over time. You might be interested in a post in the beginning and over time might want to exit the conversation. You also might just want to follow the banter on a particular post without adding to the mix. With this feature, you can now do all of those things.

Its a new thing and as such might be buggy in some way, if you see anything out of sorts let me know.

Thanks everyone, its been a long process of thinking about it after all that it was really only maybe a few hours to add it in.

Yay, now I won't get 1 million notifications when I comment on something. :P

All jokes aside, this is a really cool, and simple to use, idea.

Glad you guys like it! Personally I love getting notifications and only recently didn't know people didn't like that. :D

Yeah there has yet to be a conversation I wanted out of, but I can understand with things like the Terraria server, if you weren't in on it and didn't need to get updates, etc.

Looks awesome!
