You get a pretty clear indication when a new answer has been added, but often (at least in SQLA) the comments are just as interesting / important. |
The question has been closed for the following reason "The question is answered, right answer was accepted" by Justin Willey 27 Mar '11, 15:55
Just to note: The new forum seems to behave as wanted: Adding a comment puts the question to the top of the questions view. Besides that, you can use the notification facility. |
That's one thing I have been missing, too (and is a disadvantage compared to newsgroups IMHO). AFAIK, you only get informed about new comments to your own questions/answers. (So YOU might get notified of this comment:))
@Volker: I agree. @Justin: I think if you display the Questions - Active list, messages with fresh activity bubble to the top... but that include minor changes like tag edits etcetera.
