| Oct 13, 2014 at 19:59 | comment | added | G-Man Says 'Reinstate Monica' | (1) @fixer1234's feature-request refers to "an inbox message", and it was this that sunk818 objected to. (Perhaps sunk818 misunderstood the post, or perhaps s/he is just using the term "e-mail" sloppily.) (2) Stack Exchange does not currently notify subscribers when their "favorite" questions are modified. | |
| Oct 12, 2014 at 23:58 | comment | added | Robotnik | @fixer1234- Sunk818 didn't want to be bothered by an email - s/he didn't say anything about a top-bar notification. As for the rest: 1) the notification could perhaps only appear once (even if you don't change your vote, you won't get notified again). 2) The functionality you describe for 'opt-in' already exists, as the 'favourite' option (the star under the vote count). Perhaps change its name to 'Subscribe to changes'? | |
| Oct 12, 2014 at 16:49 | comment | added | fixer1234 | There may be some semantics here. Sunk818 didn't want to be bothered by a message when the problem question has been edited. You would need a way to make the notification optional. Selecting that choice could define whether a downvote was "conditional". That is sort of another implementation option. Do an automatic notification on all downvotes and let users opt out from ever getting such messages. The trouble is, potentially fixable questions are a minority, so it would be burdensome getting lots of messages that unfixable questions were tweaked. Hence, opt in per question. | |
