At 5:55 on 5/5/2008 I get an email because I are watching the topic, "Boiler in Bathroom" at Diydoctor.org.uk. This topic has received a reply since my last visit. I look but the last entry on the topic was mine from the 30th April 08 I see there is a total of 2 replies yet only original question and my reply are shown. I wait until 11:28 on 5/5/2008 still no second reply shown. Had I not been careful in noting number of replies I would ignore this and then when it is finally shown it will be missed.
I know all replies are monitored and having once or twice gone to the screwfix site I can see the need for monitoring but the email should arrive after the entry is released not before or many replies are going to be ignored.
