Re^2: Notification of a changed node

Actually i think the OP's request is different from the ones you mention. Messaging people who have replied to a node when the node has changd is a much different situation than allowing people to register themselves as watchers of a node or thread.

The problem is that if we allow arbitrary people to register themselves as watchers we get into tricky issues of data storage and efficiency. However these problems are non-issues for the case of a messages direct children.

So if we evr get around to tracking node updates, we might implement this request.

Just a random thought. If we keep the last edited time in a field, then NewestNodes or RAT could have a section for nodes whos edit time is > than there last check time. Or in a similar but different way, each user could have a list of nodes that are parents of one of their nodes but whos update date is > than their own nodes update date. Hopefully that made sense. :) ___________ Eric Hodges	[reply]
