I just joined this wonderful adventure, I too would really like to know if someone has responded to my comments. I am planning on being very active and will be submitting items soon. It would really add to the community.

Could this be worked in?

Yessss. I def. know what you mean. Like if someone comments on your forum how do you find it?

Is this is just a minor quirk in quirky, or do I need to change an account setting. Right now I have to go and look through all my past activity to see if there is any new response or development.

Here's an update (most of you probably already know). I have recieved an email concerning a responce on another post of mine. Perhaps that only goes to the orininator. I have not been very involved in forum communities in the past. Is this just the way it is? (In other forums as well?)

I agree too. It seems like a lot of us would be able to follow the discussions going on with our product ideas or other ideas that we want to follow...

The proper place to complain is in the Support/Feedback forum (Get Satisfaction or GS for short).
 
Here is a related link there: http://support.quirky.com/quirky/topics/notification_of_votes_and_subscribe_to_comments

Thanks for the link ScubaEd!

On a related note. A candidate to be Head of Community started a poll on how to improve the forums, please head over and keep it up: http://www.quirky.com/forums/topic/7515
 
Edit added: Correction of my interpretation of who the poster was...

Absolutely!

YES YES YES (and pretty please).

If you read the comments in this ideation, you will see that this is a perfect example of why we need what Jeff Becker suggests in his post.

Quirky wants us to collaborate - why not give us the tools to do so?

Thanks Kat - it might have helped but I probably should have gone back to check myself link: 178526

Hi simplyinclined,

I don't know why the link I posted keeps going to that page. I checked it in edit and it keeps automatically putting in "no follow" in the a href. Weird.

At any rate, how were you supposed to know that that guy asked you a question? Are we just supposed to spend our time going back to see if anyone answered us? Our time is precious. Why can't a simple notification system be installed?

Quirky can "get" new members, but at this rate, retention is going downhill. So many startup companies fail within the first few years. I hope that Quirky can "see" the urgency of fixing the many site/procedural issues.
