Occasionally I don't get emails on replies

[mrwonko]

I don't think this is a bug as much as a feature request.

 

I don't want emails every time a new reply is posted to a thread, so I don't use "instant" notifications. I want to be mailed once if something changed since I last visited the thread. "Offline" subscriptions mostly work for this, but not quite - occasionally I won't get a mail, presumably because I'm still "online" reading some other thread or whatnot. If eventually another reply is made (once I'm offline), I do get a mail, but that's unreliable and too late.

 

So please add a "sane" subscription mode.

 

Alternatively or additionally: Modern browsers can display notifications (the whatsapp webchat does, for example) - so if jkhub could use that in addition to the notification box, it would be possible to notify online users of thread replies using notifications while they're online and using mail when they're not. That's assuming the server is capable of running more than (the equivalent of) cgi scripts, since this would require a continuous connection, e.g. using websocket. No idea if your host supports that.
