>>That's only direct replies. It's not easy to find replies to your replies - replies I'm generally very interested in.

If you go to your personal node/homepage/whatever-you-call-it and click "write-ups", you get your ALL your posts -- starts or replies -- in reverse chronological order (newest first). So it's just a matter of clicking on the last few to see if anyone has replied to those.

So while I agree, it would be nice to have a feature which literally lists replies to your replies/threads as they get posted (which may exist, I'll admit to having not playing with my settings much), considering the traffic on perlmonks is actually quite low (I think there are rarely more than a dozen new threads a day), this seems pretty trivial. If you are actually answering a lot of questions, you would have to be logged in most of the time and it would be easy to stay on top of that. If you are not logged in constantly, it's hard to understand how you could have so many urgent items here so as to require email notification.

Perlmonks is also extremely slow, which I presume to be due to a lack of server resources -- which kind of caps the services you can provide.

One thing I would like would be a "Most Recent Nodes" Nodelet instead of the "Daily Best". Something that reports Newest Nodes stuff but includes replies. Is there such a thing?
