Forum Post notification is not working correctly

Ever since the "enhancements" announced earlier this year, forum post notification has been less, rather than more functional:

Notifications are not reliably sent; I have had posts where nobody receives notification emails, and some where every project user receives them, regardless of who is added to the notification list.
Notification subject lines are poorly worded and do not even include the title of the forum post
Still can't remove users from notification list once they have been added
Post author only receives notification if "Copy me for the activities which I do" option is enabled under Settings > Email Settings > Configure Notification (despite the fact it says owner will be notified by default)
No way to disable notification for simple edits to existing posts to correct typos and such

Items 2-5 are well-established issues that have been reported previously by myself and others. But Item #1 is something I've just noticed recently in the last 2 forum posts I have made (each scenario described occurred).

Forum discussions are an important and potentially very useful way that our organization communicates and documents the developments and progress occurring in a project. Effective and reliable email notifications are a crucial requirement if this tool is to retain its utility. Can we at least get it working as well as it did before the "enhancements", or better yet fix some of the long-standing issues that have (as yet) never been addressed?

Thank you,

Tip: How to print the Gantt View
Though we move from the traditional project management system (using papers) to an online project management system, we still prefer to have a printed copy of the activities/tasks that are to be done in the project. This way, we can carry the to-do lists with us for the meetings and refer when we are offline. The print option, available at the right side of the page, allows the users to print the project information across all the modules. However, this option failed to print all the tasks & milestones

What are the pre-requisites to manage my projects through Emails? You need to have a personal / business mail ID that is registered and confirmed with accounts.zoho.com To learn more
Four types of task dependencies
"Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs." - Henry Ford Projects, small or large, are driven by simple work units called tasks. Monitoring standalone tasks might look simple but as the workflow becomes elaborate, tasks may start relying on one another. In project management, this relationship between tasks is termed as "Task Dependencies". Dependency between tasks arise
Task and Project numbering
Zoho Projects now generates a unique number for each project, task, and issue added. The auto-generated ID is a combination of a prefix and a number which is assigned by Zoho Projects. The unique IDs for projects, tasks, and issues will be useful to track, identify, and search easily. You can modify the settings to enable or disable the Project and Task IDs. Learn more on how to modify Prefix & ID settings for projects and tasks. Issue IDs cannot be disabled, only its prefix can be changed (tasks
Task Inline Editing Enhancement
Hi All, Today, we have made an enhancement in task inline editing. In 4.0, task edit is moved in a single screen in a pop-up. We designed this in-order to make the task edit across the product to be the same. Let it be in Feeds, Tasks & My Tasks tab, Calendar & My Calendar tab, a click on the task title will open the popup and user can edit the values. Customers pointed us the inline editing was very useful to them & how much they miss that in 4.0. Based on the feedback, we have rolled out this enhancement.
