We have a private membership based group for a specific group of users. After complaints from users about reply notifications on threads, I moved these top level conversations over to blog articles instead since there weren't notifications for the replies unless you're the author. Hooray.
But now, I'm realizing that my members aren't even getting notifications about the new articles themselves and would have to opt-in to the blog TOO. I feel like I'm in crazy land over here and I'm about ready to just start e-mailing all of them about new articles, which is the opposite of community.
Help!
