In the thread I've branched from to create this topic, the following situation occured:
1. OP asks a question.
2. I "Comment" and provide an answer to the OP's question.
3. Bungie employee "Replies" to my post and confirms that my answer is correct.
The big problem here is that the OP (and anyone else who might benefit from seeing an official Bungie response) is not notified of the reply to my comment... Only I am. Furthermore, unless he chooses to expand the list of replies to my comment, he will never see it.
I know this point has been beaten to death, but I wanted to include a real example to illustrate the point.

Another issue... I like to "drink from the firehose" (lol). When I see that a topic I've posted in has a new reply, I like to go in and see what was added to the discussion. On many occasions, however, I open the thread an am unable to find the new post, because it is buried in a reply chain. In order to find it, I now need to go back to the forum listing and click on the name of the poster who made the reply (assuming it has updated by this point), which will then take me directly to their post.
