I sometimes forget to check the default box to stop getting notification of new comments, and depending on how popular the blog I left a comment is, I get flooded with emails.

during three years of blogging, this is quite likely the worst move from WordPress. Makes absolutely no sense. Worse than that only the captcha of other hosts, that really drives me nuts ;-)

If someone turns off the "follow comments" option on their blog (which I think a lot of people have been doing lately), then the comment notification box will disappear, and only the (unchecked) blog subscription box will be displayed.

This whole thing is ridiculous. It has inhibited me from commenting as I used to.because I've had to delete comment notices. I'd rather revisit the site at the end of the day to see what other people said. I don't want my email to be flooded with so many email notifications. I also noticed a lack of commenting on my blog now because of this.

For most blogs today, the box has been unchecked. Which sounds great except it means I'm getting out of the habit of making sure it's not checked again. It's so frustrating to get two separate emails for comments on my own posts.

Anyone who wants e-mails can check the box: the vast multitude who don't won't be plagued with them.

I am making sure I uncheck the box, and waiting to see if that solves the problem. WP needs to stop this! The box used to be unchecked, leaving it to the commenter to check it or not. They need to put it back the way it was!

Sounds like the topics page disaster all over again: A seemingly unmotivated change that creates a User Experience that's cumbersome and time-consuming, lots of complaints, and no explanation. What'd they do? Fire all the happy engineers?

I picked WordPress because I thought it was simple and rugged and productive. The changes have made it complicated, fragile, and time-wasting. Thank heavens I paid for the upgrade so I have my own URL and my content is portable. I'm sure others are thinking the same.

This is a bad change, because comments will drop so much with it, i have seen this over this past few days.

My last post i would have got 20 / 30 comments, so far only one.
