in reply to Update notice?

There is not an automated way. The person changing the node can /msg people, of course. And Janitors usually /msg authors when they touch one of the author's nodes. But there isn't any mechanism in place that /msg's participants in a thread if one of the nodes in the thread is modified.

    Do you suppose it would be worth an [update] tag which would generate a Update: and the necessary msg's?

      A tag which does what, automagically /msgs everyone who has contributed to the node, read it? No thanks.. But there have been several discussions about a way to put nodes/threads on a 'watch list' where one would be notified if any of these changes.. Go search in past discussions maybe.

      For this, I'd probably prefer another node list which sorts the entries according to the last change, which would mean we would have to save this information, we don't currently, that I know of.. But I hear tyes current new toy may incorporate this info.
