That could be a decent solution to bridge the gap. I like that
idea. :-)
But, email notification of a forum post still means that I need to
peruse the forums. Also, how did I get the email notification set up
in the first place? Would I need to "subscribe" to every topic
posted? Again, I'd spend far too much time logging into the forums
and it would seriously affect my work flow. As it is now, I can be
coding in one screen and have mail open in the other. As new topics/
answers are posted, they pop up in my mail. Then, while I'm waiting
for my next debug build to complete, I can pop over to the mail
window and join the conversation. If I just left the forum page open
on the window, I'd need to continually update the top level area list
and then go into each level to determine if any new topics had been
posted or answered.
By the way - this discussion is a perfect example of how I can do
real work and still stay in tune with the discussion...
