Occasionally someone will comment on an older journal entry, but the author doesn't see it because they've already posted another entry and there is a discussion going on that newsubject. If one responds to a Soapbox article, for instance, the author may already have posted several more entries and never see your comment.

How about an option to be notified when someone responds to a journal entry other than the most recent? Put it in the prefs as a checkbox so people can decide whether they want to receive the PM's or not.

Seems fairly odd that this isn't a standing feature actually.

I have seen this idea previously and would find it very beneficial.

Sure, why not. But i cant think of any other way to notify users other than via PM, but that could get annoying.

I'd like to see Gamespot get its current system running smoothly first, but it'd be a welcome feature thereafter.
