I'm not well versed in coding and all that, but wouldn't it be handy if we got a notification anytime somebody quoted a post of ours? I use another forum (Zetaboards forum, actually) and it uses this, and it's very handy.

What do you all think?

"We know," she said. "We've seen the future. We know you're going to kill the world..."

I was actually just thinking about this. I think it would be a great idea. Maybe you could be notified if they use your name in a post as well? Not sure if thats possible or not though.

That would be great also, especially if you miss out on a thread or post aimed at you (has happened to me a couple of times in the past before.)

This is a pretty good idea. I always miss out on stuff and this would help me a lot.

Sounds cool but I don't think there's a code for it.

He said saw it another Zeta forum so it's a possibility. I think it's a great idea.

Would be useful. If it is possible would prefer to be able to disable it though. Guess that's obvious but whatever just in case it's not.

We would have to dig deep into CSS code, anyone willing too?

I'd be willing to but I honestly don't have a clue about coding. I can use computers well enough but I'm not knowledgeable on coding and all that.

It wouldn't be CSS at all afaik? You'd need some form of regex which calls the script only upon the exact use of your name and/or the quote function? :s Only way I could think of this would possibly be through a user account which acts as a bot, I don't believe we have any access to the system message function, unless you mean an email notification? - it would also need its own database to be able to allow members to opt in and out, which would need to be held offsite (we don access ZB dbs) and as such secure communication between them.

I think it would be an extremely complex feature and quite probably (would take me months lol) above my skill set - especially considering my horrendous regex abilities :s

If anyone has any better ideas about how to do this though i'd be more than happy to look into it for you.

You're right, if you have the forum act as a catalyst then it will be trying to grab way too much information/data at once for a board of this size. Creating one wouldn't be difficult but maintaining it would be over-kill.

Anyway as for better ideas, just take a free one from the interwebs that can achieve a solution without creating a problem:

http://resources.zetaboards.com/topic/5150854/1/

The idea behind this is to not overload the time response of things like personal messages but to create its own feature that runs as a script (or even a floating script if you wanted to make it that way).

No, I don't mean by e-mail notification.
