Hello everyone !
I've had this one problem with the comments ever since I joined SH. As a reader, it's great and all, but as an author, I find the comment system a bit lacking. To be more precise, I have troubles keeping track of all the comments I receive on my story.
Here's the problem: when you receive a comment on your story, you get a notification that says nothing but '[Username] posted a new chapter comment for [Story].' When there is only a few of them, it's absolutely no issue at all. However, when you get more than a dozen of them, it's quite a hassle. You have no choice but to check them one by one by clicking on each notifications. Because while most comments get posted on the newest chapter, there are sometimes new readers posting comments on older chapters, but their notification will get buried in the Alert board. So if you don't want to miss any comment, as an author, you have no choice but to check them one by one. And I'm not going to lie, it becomes quickly tedious. I love reading my readers' comments, it's one of the best part of writing a story, but looking for them? Nah.
So here are my suggestions:
- either add a comment section in the dashboard, where we would be able to see all recent comments
- or add a precision in the alert board about which chapter gets commented on (like [Username] posted a new chapter comment for [Story] on [Chapter]).
