    Unlike normal forum posts, reminders are never sent for replies or mentions. (And there’s no subscribe option for the comments.)

    This makes commenting borderline useless, because it’s like talking down a well. People don’t respond and conversations quickly die out. It makes it pointless to comment. And eventually it leads to preferring other sites, where you can have a discussion.

    The only things I ever got e-mail notifications for are for forum replies/mentiones and friendship notifications, but nothing ever for article comments.

    Other bug: After submitting this topic I got redirected some weird broken url, which looks pretty random:
    https://www.racefans.net/groups/going-to-the-french-grand-prix-at-paul-ricard/forum/topic/fix-perpetually-broken-e-mail-notifications-for-article-comments/#post-405804

    Which looks like it’s mixed up for article/forum url. Not surprising that I get a “Oh bother! No topics were found here!” error message.

    PS:
    Even though there are categories, I can’t browse them properly. Why? At https://www.racefans.net/forums/ the categories don’t appear like normally the topics are piled up in one blob. I can only get to a category by clicking the link for the specific topic where it’s specified. But of course this means I can only do this for the ones that were commented in recently.
