That's great thanks!
However, may I suggest one further enhancement to the "new comment" email
notifications:
Currently the subject line is "[xamarin] X commented on Y" where X is the
forum username and Y is the forum topic subject title. It would be great if
the subject line was just "[xamarin] Y". This will ensure the emails group
together nicely as conversations in Gmail.
Cheers,
Roy
