I know this has been broached before but I would be interested in seeing a mobile app.



Also, is there a way to see who is following , or at least how many people, are following a thread?

I asked the thread-follower question as well a few weeks ago. Lego said the number of subscribors rarey differs from the number of posters in the thread.

The app question has been brought up a lot.

The answer is just switch your theme to Mobile Browsing on your phone, and you should be fine.

So short of counting them page to page, is there a way to deduce number of posters?

And the mobile browsing on my phone doesn't do the things an app could. Like auto post photos to my threads for one.

Also, is there any way to add the user name to the emails that are sent out when someone posts?

Short of having them sign their user name on every post that is.....

You could just click on the thread.

You're asking Lego to do a lot of coding for something that you can do with one hand blindfolded.

So, in short, start at page one and write down every unique name that posted up til the last post and odds are thats my number of followers....

Ok, Figured so....

But I still think an app should be considered......


Thanks.....

I think subscribers aren't necessarily a good way to determine how many people are actually following a thread.

Some people don't use the subscribe function at all, and they just end up subscribed to every thread they post in, but never look back in on them. Other people will lurk in a section and check in on a thread whenever it posts something new without ever subscribing.

The best way to figure out how many people are following your blog is to see how many new "views" you get in a day or so when you post an update.
