Can we have notifications back when someone has commented on a share item?
There are often good discussion threads within comments of a share item and following these is now really hard, especially as we no longer have a list of share items we have looked at and/or downloaded.

@Osprey @tuxedo2 Believe it or not, stopping the notification of someone commenting on our shares was one of Thrixxx's few attempts to give customers what they asked for. Many people used the old forums to complain about others spamming the comments to score points. So, Thrixxx threw the baby out with the bath water and made commenting on share items pointless.

Yes, the whole Share section is very sad
The site really needs a lot more user management tools.
On the one hand i want more notifications, but on the other, I also want less or some tool to manage them.
For example, if I get a like - The notifications doesn't say which comment, but just takes you to the thread - utterly pointless.
For your post above, I got two notifications: once when you mentioned me and another to say you had commented. Isn't it obvious that in order to mention me, you have to comment?
'Somebody commented...' Somebody? somebody? Give me the name - jeez.
Also, give me the option to disable notifications on individual threads.
I could go on and on....

...and in the end, Thrixxx got what they wanted. The Gamerotica community? - Not so much.
You are so right; I get tired of scrolling and scrolling assuming the script is even working. I also discovered that the gamerotica section and hashtags are like apples and oranges; a comment on one doesn't flag comments on the same item in the other area. I want to acknowledge comments that are made about my work. Along with so many other things I don't understand why this useful function isn't available. My email flags from the old site always kept me abreast of forums I was following too.
