    Now this I can get on board with. Almost every other community-oriented forum/site has a similar feature and its absence on [M]SO is conspicuous. If this gets a status-bydesign then there's going to be hell to pay.

    I want to see this get implemented as described. If you do too, vote for this: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/52971/… Commented Jun 11, 2010 at 15:08
  • @Kevin is your suggestion identical with this one? Because if it is, you may have to be more specific about what exactly you want to be more fine-grained. I understood your suggestion so that there should be more options for what to subscribe to in some kind of a control center

  • Yes, I want to see the envelope icons, just like in the screenshots above here. Commented Jun 11, 2010 at 18:04

    @Kevin, in that case, I am tempted to vote to close yours as a duplicate of mine, instead of upvoting it! (Evil, maniacal laugh) ;)

  • @Jeff I rolled this back from status-completed because the way this currently works (in conjunction with the "favourites" star) effectively makes the favourite function unusable. This would still be good to have as an individual function to monitor questions you're involved in

  • @Pëkka amazing you could do such a thing, think it's a bug that was fixed since then, isn't it? Commented Mar 10, 2014 at 9:31

    The absence of this feature in a whole family of Q&A sites is a pretty serious bug. There's no way to play around it. This isn't a nice to have or a QoL, this's a design bug to have a site for asking and answering questions, one averse to duplicates (reasonably), and yet not allow users to follow questions they're interested in.

  • This should be implemented for those who want it now that we have better Email Settings: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/298906/…

    @Tinkeringbell I see you have added (status-review) tag. Should it now be (status-completed), considering the recent announcement: The Follow Questions and Answers feature is now live across the Network?

    @Martin Us mods usually stay away from the status tags (with the exception of status-review now), but if you can flag this, someone else will eventually see it and see if it needs a completed tag :)

    @Pekka Please consider switching the accepted answer, given the recent developments.
