Alan,

That is how it works and needs to be fixed. If I see an notification on something I am following, I want to go directly to it. Now, I have to come and scroll through that has been posted.

Did the email notification say "replied to a discussion" or "left a comment in"??

Johnny,

In my case, both. I still have to come here to locate it. If it says replied to a discussion, I know where to look, and left a comment, i know where to look. BUT, if the page or discussion is large, (couple of pages) it takes a while to find it. It also depends on how the Discussion or Board is sorted. But that's another issue.

Awwwhhh, yes; finding the individual reply within the discussion is a pain on occasion (especially, like you said, when its a big discussion).

Can you reply to this one once more? I'm going to follow it so I can see the email message I get.

Johnny,

I saw the notice and came here. Fortunately, the discussion is short.

Thank you,

Russ

Aha, it was a comment but until you mentioned this I had been looking in the Discussion Forum and can now find it easily!
