Subscribe to Comments 2.1 is a plugin that allows commenters on your blog to check a box before commenting and get e-mail notification of further comments. It is one of the most popular WordPress plugins out there for the simple reason that it helps foster a community around your blog by encouraging commenters to come back and stay engaged in the dialog.
Features
Rudimentary security
Users cannot enter a random e-mail into the subscription manager and modify someone else’s subscriptions In order to modify subscriptions, users need to use a special link, given in notification e-mails, and printed in the comments form as long as they have their comment cookie
Recognition of subscription status
Unsubscribed users see the “subscribe to comments” checkbox, but subscribed users see a “Manage your subscriptions” link The author of the post is recognized by either login or comment cookie and is assumed to be subscribed to the entry (as they will receive notifications through WordPress)
Themeable subscription manager
Uses visual style of WordPress interface Can be optionally accessed via “Manage” menu in WordPress E-mail verification of block requests Javascript “invert selection” link to check/uncheck subscriptions for mass deletion “Return to the page you were viewing” link that persists at the top of the page, so that users can easily return to the post they were reading once they are done modifying subscriptions
Ability to let users change notification e-mail address
In the subscription manager, users can request that their notification address be changed for all their subscriptions Special link is sent to the old address for verification Once clicked, their e-mail address will be changed instantly for all their comments
Easy integration into comments form
No modification of comments form needed for WP 1.5+ (supported themes) For users who want custom placement of the checkbox/link to subscription manager, this can be done with one simple function call, placed anywhere in the comment form
Subscription without leaving a comment
By popular demand, you can now offer visitors the option of subscribing to comments on an entry without having to leave a comment themselves If the reader later decides to join the conversation, their subscription continues without them having to explicitly set it
Customization
You can make the Subscription Manager that your users see use your theme’s header, footer and sidebar, using CSS to style it to fit your site
Internationalization
I’ve written Subscribe to Comments 2.1 with i18n in mind, making full use of __() and _e() functions. The domain is “subscribe-to-comments”.

Version 2.1 Update
Version 2.1 of Subscribe to Comments has a feature that people have been begging me to implement for many months: you can view the list of people who are subscribed to posts on your blog, and you can also see a list of the most “subscribed” posts. Also in this version is a new one-file install. You just put subscribe-to-comments.php in your /plugins/ directory, activate, and you’re done. This version will work on WordPress versions from 2.0.6 through 2.3.1 (highest tested).
Versions
2.1.2 Fixed a few bugs that’d send bad notifications (thanks Donncha!), cleaned up some code and moved to using proper WP escaping functions 2.1.1 WordPress 2.2 compatibility! Also note that support for attribute_escape() is needed, so if you get errors about that, upgrade to the latest version in your branch 2.1 big update, fixing a few potential XSS holes, and misc error messages… see above for details 2.0.8 XSS security fixes, hopefully fixed “+” symbols in e-mail for good 2.0.7 additional “funky e-mail” fixes 2.0.6 support for e-mail addresses with “+” symbols, option to disable CSS “clearing” 2.0.4 potential security bugs, better WP 2.0 capabilities compat

that said, fugit tempus…
it is with jurisprudence one inserts code that one knows is survived only by serendipity
an innocuous friendship with word press’ author might help, in that respect only
perhaps your concept is worthy of special handle inclusion
a good candidate for foundation extension in the wordpress core - - alvin always bitches such comment, but a good chipmunk always knows better.

Consider suffixing the default “Notify me of followup comments via e-mail” to
“Notify me of followup comments via e-mail (?)” and link the ? to http://txfx.net/code/wordpress/subscribe-to-comments/
Thus, there is a easy way to see the source of the plugin
Cheers, Kishore.

Thanks! Good plugin for WP!
I just upgraded to WP 2.3.2 and notifications are no longer being e-mailed out. Reverted back to the old wp-mail.php file and same problem exists. Tried adding wordpress@ email account, which also did not fix the issue.
Others?

Best tool for me!
Hi, thank you for the plugin.
I have a little bug. If I cancel my subscription of all notifications, I don’t receive the notifications but there is always, under the form, “you are subscribe … Manage your subscriptions”. I think it’s the function show_subscription_checkbox but I don’t found the problem.
Thank you
broken link or maybe ur site down…
The
clear: bothfunction always destroys my blog design with lots of free white space in the comment area. I need to erase all clear-both's in your code in order to 'repair' my design. Unchecking the option "do a css clear" didn't have an effect on my problem. If there is another solution please let me know.Thanks for this great plugin!

Happy New 2008!
thanks for this useful plugin,
keep the good work.
Quick question — this should be fairly simple to sort out.
My “Notify me of followup comments by email” checkbox appears under the submit comment button, but way over to the left of screen, in line with the left-hand side of the left sidebar.
I’d like to have the checkbox directly underneath the submit comment button, in line with the left-hand side of the main content column, which is how the comments box is placed.
You should be able to go to my website to see what I mean, if you need to. I’ve tried fiddling with the Subscribe to Comments Options, but nothing makes a difference.
Thanks
