Bug report: forum comments were not sent by email

I noticed a strange bug when browsing John's official "BookMooch blog" forum: I had received John's "Downtime fun" message itself by email, but the comments people had made to it were not sent to me.

I unsubscribed from receiving the forum by email and resubscribed back. Let's see if that corrects the issue.

I had the same thing Taneli.

I'd be interested to hear if that sorts out your problem.

Oh, good Rob, I'm not the only one. Now we just need someone to post a new comment to that thread: Downtime fun

I'd hate to leave just a plain "test comment" just to see if the problem was fixed. Have to think of something...

I made a reply earlier, but so far have had nothing in my inbox.

Thanks Rob and Jon for making a comment in the Downtime fun thread. I received none of them in my inbox (and they're not in my spam folder either), so indeed this seems to be a genuine bug that affects either that specific thread or the BookMooch Blog forum as a whole.

Unsubscribing and resubscribing to that forum doesn't fix it.

This is probably a "mis-feature" on my part.

Specifically, I thought that "blogs" should be treated differently from "open discussions" and that people would want to receive only the main topics via email in blogs, but in open discussions, they'd receive topics and comments.

However, given how the forums are actually being used, I think this is not very helpful, so I'll change the email feature for blogs to send all topics and comments, just like open discussions do.
