I'd like users to subscribe to comment replies. So they only receive a notification when a particular comment has been directly replied too - has anyone implemented this or know how it can be best done?

I have implemented this. If someone is interested in testing it, I can make a sandbox project out of it. Two caveats:

1. I did it for Notifications 6.x-2.3. (I think this is the version that comes with Drupal Commons.) I have not looked at 6.x-2.4 to see how much the API has changed.

2. I set it up to generate a notification for all descendants of a particular comment, not direct replies. This would not be too hard to change.

I also implemented it but as a custom module specific to my project. If your solution is suitable for sharing please do share the patch or sandbox.
