Thank you for making such a wonderful product.

I did search through the planned and to-do and upcoming.

I am a member of many forums and many groups. As I understand it, the second option (see below pic) includes both specic @username and group membership email notifications. I would love a way to split that up.

Request: Take the second option below extremely literally i.e. remove group membership. Email notifications **only** when tagged directly and not when tagged as part of a group membership. Create another option for group membership, see Follow-on after the jump.

Follow on request: Ability to choose which groups I do receive membership from. For example, moderators, “coaches”, all-stars, or other’s with greater responsibility might want email notifications on that group but come to the site frequently enough that they don’t want email notifications of all the groups. Or, a “normal” user might want working group membership emails to go through but other group membership to be handled at the forum.

Thank you for your time and effort.
