You're right, it updates with the last time/date of the last comment. I'm going to explore a system similar to the forums whereby topics/files with new comments since your last visit will be flagged by a special icon or something. I've never dabbled much in to the world of sessions and such so it may very well be fruitless, but I'll try
That would be awesome!
I fully agree

Possible improvement for the system.
Take a look at: http://thenexusforums.com/index.php?showtopic=157811
It's a poll, but only because I went back to the forum thread's real location to edit it into one. Is there any possibility we could get poll management directly from the comments system in the file entry itself? Along with the ability to respond to/vote in the polls there?

I don't realy like it, but if it's good for most of you, I'll try to like it myself.

Had occasion to start a new topic in my Open Cities comment section. Which worked fine. I then thought about whether that might end up in the actual forum area, and sure enough, it's there. The post is accurate and all, but without the context attached, it seems disjointed.
Is there any way to have the new system mark a topic as being from the file DB and have it *NOT* show up in the regular forum area?

Second, click on the topic you want to track, click "Go to forum thread", click "Options", click "Track this topic". There are multiple different tracking options available, including the ability to have all your tracked topics shown on one page with easy viewing to see which topics have new posts in them. Track the topics, bookmark this page, be happy.
Tried it out, and only see e-mail options, no "Tracking" page. However, I can go to "Topics" under the forum profile and that looks like it will work.
Anyway, just wanted to say I think this setup is great and wish it had been implemented years ago. Bethesda's boards have become the standard, even though they're fairly annoying. The upload ability is nice, the polling, especially multiple polls per mod (and no vote reset when editing OP), is great, no 200 limit so no need to change, no need to link to another site, yeah - this is nice.
Now if I can convince people to switch
Question, though - if a user creates a topic, can the uploader change the name of the topic? I'm mainly thinking of bug topics - when it's fixed I'd like to add "Fixed vXXX" to the title.
Again, many thanks, and I expect this to really change the way things are done (again).

As for checking on new comments via your file management page, am I seriously the only person who does that by checking the dates rather than the number of comments? Assuming the timestamp under the mod's name is going to update itself by the date of the last comment, there shouldn't be an issue, right?

I think in the long run it'll be a net positive. My initial reaction right now is that I like it, but I guess it remains to be seen if the usefulness it can provide bears itself out later.

I also note that this is now showing up on the management screen for mods you didn't upload but have edit access to, and that's definitely a welcome update.

I don't like it.
I've read the whole thread, and I've tried the methods listed for tracking comments. Losing the ability to track comments at a glance is a massive loss to all modders.
Previously, I could just open the page from bookmarks and instantly see new comments. All the comments were in one place on a mod's page - so I didn't have to load new pages to see them all. Now I have to fiddle with drop-downs to see which mod was last commented on, and that still doesn't guarantee that I have nothing new - if two visits in a row the same mod is the one with new comments, I won't see it.
For tracking, now we're relying on email to see new comments. Not as big of a deal, but again, you've changed a 1-step process into a complicated multi-step process - I have to manually go set it up for each mod (which isn't simple in itself), and then go from my email to the mod's page.
As for actually going to the mod's page, it's now three clicks to see any comments instead of one. Perhaps this would be a great option for mods that have hundreds of comments of varying types, but that's not the lion's share of the mods.
I appreciate greatly the intent of what you are trying to accomplish, but I find this side-effect unacceptable in terms of user-friendliness. Checking for and receiving feedback is now something of a chore, where previously it was quick and painless.
I would love to see multi-threaded comments be an option. Not enforced, as it is gratuitous and inconvenient for many - but a huge help for some. I would also like the total number of comments back on the "manage" page for each mod. I absolutely respect how much work you put into this and your reasons for doing it, but I'm afraid you've taken away one of the best reasons for a modder to want to upload here - how easy it is to see and handle feedback.
