xmurderxlovex Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 How about we take the idea from Youtube and send a message to the user that someone has replied to your post? It gets tiring trying to look back to where someone quoted you and said something. Could it be done or would it make the boards slower?

The Drummer Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 It can be done.. Other forums have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defiance Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 only problem with an active forum like this is that you will get a fuckload of emails, like i have to turn it off on all forums i go on cause my inbox used to be like 5,000 new messages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defiance Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 lol i just press f5 on the page every so often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Drummer Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Ehh it doesn't necessarily mean they have to send you a message. Hold on.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Drummer Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 PD has this feature where you can click a link on the top of the page, and it shows you where you get quoted. I cropped everything so it would fit in one picture, but the "new quotes" is next to messages. Then when you click that, it brings you to a page where you can view your quotes.

EasyTarget Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 ^ What you put seems sensible. I know what Alex means about shit loads of emails, it's very annoying, that's why I'm signed up on stuff to old emails I don't use, clever or what?

xmurderxlovex Posted July 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 ^ True. I hate the youtube emails I get. But its better than going back and looking for the comment. Especially music videos. And over here in Pfans, we make a new page about every five minutes. ^^ I like that thing. It would make Pfans a bit easier, no?

xmurderxlovex Posted July 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 lol i just press f5 on the page every so often But some of us (like me) like to go around the boards spamming everything BUT have slow computers (again like me) So looking back to the many pages we've gone to would be hard.

arrrrr x matey Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 personally, i wouldnt want it. b/c i post too damn much and if i had a email for whenever it was replyed to, i'd never get a chance to actually post anymore. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Drummer Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 You don't get emails when you get quoted with the one I posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire At Will Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 what forum is that from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerrie Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 LJ does that too, I like it cause I dont have to go back and look but I guess it would be annoying if you post alot (I dont) and you can turn off the email notifications...

Andrew Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 PD has this feature where you can click a link on the top of the page, and it shows you where you get quoted.I cropped everything so it would fit in one picture, but the "new quotes" is next to messages. Then when you click that, it brings you to a page where you can view your quotes. Nice idea. I think that's a phpbb forum so I don't know if it'd work on here (cause it's vbulletin) =/ There might be two ways though to keep track of new posts. You can "subscribe" to a thread, and then just check the list of subscribed threads in your User CP... I think it tells you then if someone has posted in your "Notifications list". I don't know if that'd work for you, I've never used it. Or there's the new posts link.... but that tells you ALL the new posts like everywhere. Don't know if either help though...

xmurderxlovex Posted July 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 But would they HAVE to send emails? Isn't there a way to just make a link at the top of the screen that would say You Have 8 Quotes or something similar to that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paint the sky grey Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 I wouldn't open an extra thread for my suggestion, so I post it in here: We have many 'I'm gone for a week/a while/whatever' threads in the Off Topic last time and I had the idea, why wouldn't we make one thread where all users who won't be on for a few days or longer can post in? I know it from another board and it's working very good there. Let me know what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrLittleDecoy Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 ^ i kinda agree with that.there's too much thread like that in Off Topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmurderxlovex Posted July 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 ^ That'd be smart. Less spam = Faster boards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paint the sky grey Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 So shell I do it yet or would we contact an admin/mod for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
