One more request for this awesome plugin – can it automatically set the thread to “watching” for the assigned user?
My team is using this for a pretty busy support forum, so staff is somewhat conservative with “watching” in order to keep the noise down. However, once a thread is assigned to you, you really do want to have the notifications turned all the way up.
This should probably be a plug in option: "_Assign Sets Thread To “Watching”_ " or something like that.
