Forum notifications?

[itsatruestory]

I have an idea of having notifications on the forums for any 'watched threads' which I assume includes, any created threads and any threads you've part-taken in.

Everytime I come on to the website I've got around 5 pages of new posts. I am on the site at least every other day and Im finding it hard to keep up.

This is only a suggestion so guys let me know if its a good idea and I'm sure Dan will come across it.

Im not a web developer or anywhere near that stage so I don't know if its possible to do on a forum database.

So what do you think?

There is a watched threads option at the top, and it gives you unread posts. If there are no unread posts you can then elect all watched threads.

Mark Forums Read - Search Forums - Watched Forums - Watched Threads - New Posts - Spy

This is what I see anyway from a computer, on mobile there are the periods/full stops that give you further options as only a couple of options are displayed. Just checked, "Watched Threads", "New Posts", "Spy" and ",,," are what display on my iPhone 5S. The watched threads option is what I interpret as what you're after.

This is what I would have said? I hope that helps?

The forum is a lot busier than it's ever been before so people keep posting lol

I've not used a forum on this software before I do like it.

One question on notifications, I couldn't see a specific option (I do have selective sight) for email notification of PMs. Don't want topic emails though.

I like it, you have the alerts of the stuff you have posted on then you have the unread topics which is a good idea imo if you dont wana go through em just mark forum as read
