I figured maybe I should explain a bit more.
It used to be my users could just click the box in their preferences, and from then on, they would always get a notification for any responses to any of the posts they made, anywhere. Unless they opted out of that for any particular post.
Now, they click the acceptance box in their preferences... And they still have to click a box every time they make a post in a new thread, if they want to be notified of a response.
Worse... Now they are notified of any responses at all in the entire thread. Even their own responses to others...
They want to put it back the way it used to be. You make your choice in your preferences, and then you are notified of any responses to any posts you make anywhere. But ONLY to your own posts. Not to every post in the entire thread... And you can opt out of recieving notices of responses to any posts that you'd rather not get notices for.
