Hi,

I think the title sums it up well.
Anonymous users are allowed to create nodes, but cannot unsubscribe to them. They can only if they post a comment.

Is this missing from the module ?
Thanks

Hmm well, I've just realized that anonymous node posters don't have to supply an email.
Maybe someone knows about how to enable notifications for anonymous node authors ?

from the project page:
Comment Notify is a lightweight tool to send notification e-mails to visitors about new comments on pages where they have commented. Comment Notify works for both registered and anonymous users.

Based on that explaination it doesn't seem the module allows notifcations to be selected by any users when a node is created. you may want to investigate the subscriptions.module or the notifications.module which may better suit your use case.

Yeah, I don't think it makes sense to enable this explicitly for anonymous users.

It could also be seen as a duplicate of #288726: Allow users to subscribe without posting a comment which would be required before we could allow node notifications for anonymous.

Sorry for reopening this but I think this doesn't have to be seen as a dup of #288726: Allow users to subscribe without posting a comment if we add an E-mail submission field to the node creation form for Anonymous authors (just like in the anonymous comment form).
Does it make any sense ?

I am also wanting this feature. I will post here if I find a solution.

any findings here ?
This is just the missing piece to make this module perfect (at least for my needs)

No, this doesn't make sense. We'd have to ask the anonymous node author to store their e-mail on the node creation form. That's a ton more work for a really specific use case and I don't think it's worth adding here.
