Default Double post merge question
If someone subscribes to a thread, and I get a double post merge when I post in it, are they notified of a new post?

I ask because this has happened to me a couple times in support threads where I am trying to answer a question for someone.

They will get notified of the first new post, as usual.

I think he means; If he posts a reply, and someone gets notified of that reply and reads it but does not respond, and then after that he then posts his second post that gets auto-merged, do they then get another email notifying them or not?

If thats not what you meant, then thats a question I also would like to know the answer to

Yes, that is what I meant. It's happened to me three times now, so I am sure it must be relatively common. Thanks Chris.

Well since the timestamp is not updated, i doubt that a new notification will be sent out.

Auto-merge will happen mostly in 2 situations:
- You give multiple responses, mostly within minutes. Chance is small that someone will get notified and visits the thread within this short time.
- Someone bumps before 24 hours. Nothing new so it is ok that there is no notification sent.

It si a prize we all must pay for those that uined it by bumping all the time.

Does it have to be either or? Can auto-merge be tweak to send notification without updating the timestamp?
