Sorry, I know this post doesn't really belong in this category, but there isn't a better category, so here goes:
Please consider improving the notification in this forum. Many forums allow you to flag a topic when you post to it. An email is sent to you every time a reply is added to the topic. This is extremely useful as it is not possible to always keep checking back to all of your posts to see if they have recieved a response. For example, I have noticed some users have posted code or ideas, and have finally received a response in the forum several years later. Chances are, they aren't still checking back after two years to see if there is any interest in their post, but they may be excited to find that their efforts helped someone else. It is very time consuming to keep checking all the categories to see of your posts have received a response.
Another very useful feature that is already possible in this forum, but has been disabled, is the ability to email other users. Of course, they should be able to opt-out, but many, like me would be open to an email to them through the system even if they prefer not to post their address in a robot or crawler-readable forum.
