It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

It seems that people use these "subscribe" one-liners rather than click notify because threads flagged via the latter mechanism don't show up under "Show new replies to your post."
There should be a rather simple solution to this: Simply that threads marked as 'notify' begin showing up under 'show new replies' as well. (the label for which could then be changed to the more inclusive "Show notified posts.")
but notify also send you emails. writing 'subbed' doesn't subscribe you to emails. |

Ya, since work has not yet begun on this forum software's successor, I too would like to see a couple of the most painful issues resolved in the software currently used. - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=50617.0 |

Subbed.
Also, is it REALLY that hard to scroll past the "Subbed" comments? It takes a fraction of a second, really...

The 'sub' band-aid doesn't scale. The forum is growing. Ok, I agree. It would be nice to be able to subscribe to threads without writing in them. |

As somebody who reads the forum using the RSS feed, it's really annoying to see a notification there are new messages and a bunch of them are "I'm too lazy to press the notify button" I consider those messages polution that makes the forum less readable |

The latter is an option. Just tweak your userprefs if you desire that. i'm skeptical... can you tell me which checkbox exactly achieves this? |

Sub.  This is something we need. It should only take a few minutes to make "notified" threads appear in "Show new replies to your posts" |

Those are annoying. I've looked into creating a "watchlist" feature in SMF, but it seems very difficult (which is probably why there are no modifications that do that already).

Theymos, OTOH, to quote Blazr, "It should only take a few minutes to make "notified" threads appear in "Show new replies to your posts""
He's welcome to write the code, then. You also need to be able to remove topics from unreadreplies for it to be usable as a watchlist. |

"Turn notification on when you post or reply to a topic." nope, that does not help you subscribe without posting 'subbed'. |

You had said: "writing 'subbed' doesn't subscribe you to emails." I said, But it can, if you tweak your options. That is, after that, writing sub *does* subscribe you to emails. In case we are confused, let's repeat: "Posting sub subscribes you to emails, and I showed you how." So, I don't understand your new objection: "that does not help you subscribe without posting 'subbed'."  okay mis-understanding... what people posting 'subbed' really want to achieve, is being notified of new replies without getting emails. you can't do that any other way. |

What people could do is click notify, and then filter out all the email notifications to /dev/null.
Maybe I misunderstood, I guess "notify" still doesn't get the topic to show up on the watch-list?

Right - it just spams your email account. |

Yeah notifications are worthless, I'm not gonna check my email to see if there are replies to threads I like to read. Needs to be a subscribe button next to the notify button, that will add it to a watchlist below the other two.

Since the new forum software will never actually get written (or be usable if someone attempts it) can we please get some real forum software working for this place until this hypothetical software is written? It's been months since the project was "started" and there's been no movement. It will be years more before there is anything even vaguely usable, if ever... so in the interim, I propose moving to modern, secure (at least more secure, anyway), feature rich forum software.
You can take your pick, since literally any forum software is an improvement over SMF.

If you're searching these lines for a point, you've probably missed it. There was never anything there in the first place.

Now THERE'S something to +1! My personal recommendation is xenForo, but I'm partial to modern-looking websites. |

The specification in "Looking for someone to create/modify software for this forum [2200+ BTC]" could use a rewrite, with the words "shall", "will", and "must" used more sparingly. Make the $10000 bounty known outside this forum. HN? /r/programming? |
