Suggestions for future improvements to our forum software

Let’s say I make a post in a thread. And them someone replies to the thread using the big blue “reply” button at the bottom of the thread. But they’re talking to me.

Currently I don’t get a notification about that.

Is it intentional? I don’t really like that. I think the last person in a thread should get notified if the thread is replied to, even if most of the time that post might not be “directed” at them.

(Concrete example. I just happened to see there were replies to it via “suggested topics” and happened to open it)
