You can now be notified by email, if you choose, when someone comments on your profile or one of your word lists. If you go to your profile and click on the ‘edit contact options’ link, you can turn this feature on or off.
This is the default behavior for new wordies, but if you joined before this Saturday you’ll have to go in and turn notifications on, if you want ’em–it seemed kind of spamish to turn them on retroactively.
Suggestions for ways to improve this, for other kinds of notifications, or other ways to make it easier to follow Wordie are appreciated.
