There's now a pretty neat feature where you'll get email notifications for all new comments, not just replies! I'll write a blog post about new changes soon :-)
GitHub-flavored Markdown & a sane subset of HTML is supported.
Fill in your email address if you want to get notified when someone replies to your comment. Your email address is safely stored with strong 256-bit AES encryption. You can unsubscribe from notification emails any time by following a link on the bottom of a reply notification email.
