We were wondering how to let our users know when a new comment was posted and we did something about that.
When you add a comment to an inkscape gallery post (forum topic or a drawing, it doesn't matter) you will have the chance to follow that comment in order to be notified about replies.
This is not exactly what we wanted to do primarily; let the poster know about comments on his/her post but it is still useful..
we keep working,

Ok, we weren't satisfied about the notification feature,
so we did something better: if you submitted posts (drawing or topic forum) you will be notified about user comments. This is not optional actually...

So there are two notifications, two separate features now:
the owner of a node will be notified about comments.
The user who commented some posts has the chance (it means that he decide) to receive mails to be awared about comment follow up.
Hope this will work fine, 'cause we need to test, but it is already in production, instead.
