    Maybe I missed it, but can you watch a topic and get email alerts on updates/replies/etc?

    Thanks,
    Tom

    @tkiblin When 0.5.1 is released, you will be able to do that, yes.

    It's come to my attention that I rarely read the full post. 😆 Answered based on the topic title. And thought he meant the Watch on categories.

    Quick question on how watch works. Do you immediately receive an email when somebody responds to a watched post? Or is it just rolled into the digest?

    BTW, the update speed on the preview pane is painfully slow right now. I can type about two words before it catches up.

    If you enable the option in your user settings, the email goes out immediately. Otherwise, you are notified via in-app notification only.

    Secondly, the preview is updated when you stop typing, so as to not send multiple requests to the server when typing many characters in rapid succession 🙂

    Is that an UX issue you guys think? This is the first time I've heard somebody complaining about it. So far I'm happy with it and this is considering I'm a bit of stickler when it comes to UX problems. As I type I'm looking at what I'm typing in the compose window not the preview window until I've finished typing

    Totally a RFC, please feel free to open a discussion on our issue tracker maybe we can do something about it

    Why it is going to the server for the preview? Why can't it be rendered only on the client-side?

    I understand that it might need to go to the server to auto-save your draft between sessions but IMO that should be separate from rendering the preview window.

    I personally think it's a UX issue. I hate to always say, look at what xyz does but look at what Stackoverflow does and look at what Discourse does.

    P.S. I like a lot of the changes made since the last time I visited. After my day job frees up some time, I'm immediately moving Axis & Allies .org Forums to NodeBB.

    @djensen47 The preview is not just Markdown parsing. If it were, then we would've definitely gone the client-side route.

    However, the preview mimics what the actual post would look like, and many plugins modify the post parsing behaviour to add additional syntax, etc.

    For example: Typing gh#1000 embeds a GitHub block at the bottom of this post.

    This requires a server-side parsing so we can fire off the relevant hooks.

    Sounds like you need a little isomorphic javascript in nodeBB. 😉

    P.S., IMO the first-aid icon in the lower right corner of the compose window is confusing. I just clicked it and I still think it does something else. 😃
