Alternatively, an RSS feed to do the job.

Sound reasonable enough?

i was thinking of having a similar system but inside EP.... like you get a PM or something every time a message is posted in a thread that you've posted in..... which would save you having to look up your email every time....

@ senseito: i wasn't particularly thinking of the little pop-up message you get but rather the tab in the top corner which shows any activity



^like this tab here^.... obviously wee don't want to copy it but something similar could be used to show thread activity and perhaps even rep you've received ....(there is in fact a large gap in the top toolbar of the site that something could be put into....

i know facebook isn't that great an example and some harsh comments might be said but the notification system is one of the (very few) things i like in facebook.... in no way am i saying wee should turn into facebook I'm just sharing some ideas on how wee could make browsing ep a lot smoother...
