Add "subscribe to all comments" to the community management page

Title:
Add "subscribe to all comments" to the community management page

Area:
community management

Summary:
I would like to suggest adding a link to the subscribe to all comments to a community page from the community management page.

Description:
I just spent 20 minutes looking for the page which allows a community maintainer to subscribe to all comments made to that community. It can currently only be found under the "track" link on the community's profile. I would like to suggest that it be added as a link on the Manage Communities page as well: http://www.dreamwidth.org/community/manage

Am I weird in thinking that the tracking page is the logical place for it? I mean, it's where you subscribe to everything else, like all new entries.

A link from the management page to the tracking options might be good, but it *is* already pretty full.

Hmm, I dunno. It's in the user tracking page ( from the profile ), the per-entry tracking page (when you track all comments on an entry), and the per-comment tracking page (when you track all comments under a thread).

So on the one hand, it's on a bunch of tracking places, on the other hand, people still can't find it, and maybe the community management place is a more intuitive location? I can't decide.

When I am looking to manage my community, I go to community management, not the community's profile.

I would rather have this added to the Notifications tab of http://www.dreamwidth.org/manage/settings/ and a link to it added on Community Management (and http://www.dreamwidth.org/community/settings merged into it but that's another suggestion).

I think this might be a result of my support request (Hi! Thanks! That was what I was looking for). I thought I knew what the various tracking symbols led to, but I was wrong (partly because they've changed, partly because I didn't have any communities then). I didn't realise you could get to tracking-a-whole-community from the tracking options on a particular post, because they're on a link that takes you away from that page, so I was looking in Settings, but the Notification tab there is disabled. Thinking about it, that wasn't the right place, because I want notifications to my account, not to the community.

Instead of adding to the table of actions, which is pretty full, how about adding something to the "Administrative Options", where there's already a note about how to track membership requests?

wow, i had no idea this was even a feature! how useful. that said, i don't think the community management page would be an appropriate place for it.

I went looking for that feature after it was announced, didn't find it on any of the community management pages or my account management, and didn't even think to check the whatever this tracking page is, clearly. So yeah, I think it ought to be findable from the community settings page somehow.
