Am I missing something? It seems that you can select "email replies" on a thread on the forums and automatically get emails every time a new forum post is made but you cannot get automatic emails when a new comment is left on one of your photos? I've been frustrated when someone tells me they left a comment on one of my photos that I took over a year ago and I have no idea which one it is without clicking on every photo in my portfolio and seeing which ones don't have a check box in the "helpful" box. There has to be a way to get automatically emailed whenever someone comments on one of your photos, regardless of how long ago the photo was taken. If there isn't, this seems to be a major oversight and I suggest we add it as a feature.

I struggle with this issue too...what I've gotten in the habit of doing is going to "My Profile" and clicking on the number of comments next to "Received: ". Under browse settings, the last pulldown, I choose "comments: not marked as helpful" and hit go. Since I mark most comments as helpful this shows me comments that I may have missed. Of course it also shows comments that you make yourself so you have to scroll through those.

I agree it would be helpful to have an auto email function, but maybe only on photos not currently in voting.

Anyone else have "tricks" to check on comments?

If you have Firefox, there is a greasemonkey extension that shows you which comments are new with red arrows on your profile page (just have to put your image list to "show all").

Works GREAT !

It can be found here.

I use most of the scripts put out by smurfguy and they all work like a charm. Definitely makes DPC even better.

Like Jasonlprice, I just go to comments received and the most current one is on top. Pretty simple. Email notification? I thought I was lazy...just joking! Everyone has their own way of doing things. :)
