I know this may seem like a crazy idea Turbulent, especially to a software engineer this would be an especially difficult concept to wrap one's overly literal logical frame of mind around, but if I was the one replying to a thread... you do not need to "NOTIFY ME THAT THERE IS 1 NEW REPLY" to the thread which is myself. It is EXCITING to program Spectrum to set new flags I know, but really, this is overdoing it. I mean, sure technically there is "1 new reply", because it is THE ONE I JUST MADE... but you don't need to set the flag for me when I do it, and then show me that flag, of the thing I just made. So that after I return to the general forum, I can be tricked into re-opening the thread, so that I can see what I just typed a minute ago. I mean, I love to read my amazing responses sure, and like anyone I find my insightful helpful posts inspiring and mentally invigorating, but you do not need to go that extra mile to remind me TO READ MY OWN POSTS that I JUST MADE. thanks really...
