Notifications?!

[amul]

I just discovered that LJ has a "notification" tool. I always knew that you could set LJ to email or IM you when someone replies to your posts or comments. Apparently, you can ALSO set it to email you a notification whenever someone posts an entry in their LJ -- very useful for those friends of mine who rarely post.

Thing is, the only way I know how to find it is by accessing their profile, clicking Modify Friend, and making an adjustment to the privacy filters they are on. Once I save the modification, it takes me to the "Friend Added" page, where you'll see a "notify me when..." option or something like that. VERY cumbersome.

Did everybody already know about this? Is there any easier way to set such notifications?

Ok...go to their profile: click "track user" and it will give you a short screen with options for notification. Check what you want, click save, and you're done! :)

Still cumbersome, but better than the method you were using.
