Idea: User Alerts?

Imperial Pandaa··7 votes·8,545 views

Can we set up a way to be notified when a specific user creates a new topic?

I get it may not be the most useful of tools, except maybe to take Red Tracker to a new level if it included being notified of comments too.

Admittedly I am biased with this idea, because I like to think people want to know when a game is free (usually a steam code) via whatever legit site.

You mean like "following" or "subscribing" to other users? If that's at all like what you're talking about then I agree. There are a few people who's thoughts I always enjoy seeing when they post and it would be nice to know when they do so I don't miss anything.

I would like a forum app to notify you of comments and stuff, it would be a great help to make the community more active.

It's a cool idea, but I imagine the back-end work would be pretty huge given the way the boards are designed. I'm not sure when or even IF we'd feasible be able to deliver something like that.

AresC volunteer from LAS created this extension for chrome https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/boardfications/fileikcgmliegmfkbjckggmegkcpmdni I think it works in NA too.

Yeah, I'm not versed in forum design and management. I wasn't sure how the coding would work, even if it can work. Just thought it would be neat if it hasn't come up in discussion before.
