    Lightbulb FORUM idea: Give us a NOTIFICATION when PEOPLE REPLY to our posts on the forum.

    The name of the thread is the idea.

    Afterall you can't expect us to open every thread again and again to check if someone has replied to any of our messages.

    I've been on the forums a few weeks now, and that's the most tiring part of the whole process. Sometimes i dont even know if people have ever replied to me or quoted me somewhere.

    So every time your message gets replied, i think there needs to be a one-time notification (like one's we get on Facebook). And they can disappear after. This should make life on forums a lot easier, and also more entertaining, since we know who's replying back to us and who's not, and where to look for the reply!

    Your support on this will be much appreciated.

    But i reply to a ton of threads, sometimes even randomly, in all different sub-forums.

    For instance, past two days I've replied to 4-8 threads in attacking strategies. Around 20 different threads in General, of which most got closed or died. Ideas and Features sub-forums about ten more threads.

    Point is, i cant subscribe to each and every one of them. Since they are "piecemeal" threads. And also subscribing to every thread that interests me, and checking them again everyday? That's like going through 100 different threads everyday just to look. Very tedious.

    Am sure this example applies to a lot of the active-community on the forums.

    When, you can keep each sub-forum window open and refresh it regularly. I often do that when I can't be bothered to subscribe.

    But don't you think a notification will save time? And pin-point who has replied where?

    Cos opening every subforum, refreshing every five minutes, then opening every thread and checking if new reply is in reply to your post? Way too much work.


    The idea is to save such precious time and make life easy. Since am sure i wont have so much time on hand in a couple days.

    So support the idea already!

    Regarding people who post a lot it would be hard to keep track of it all.

    Its still easier than scrolling through pages and pages of a subscribed thread just to see if someone replied to your earlier thread. Hot topics, especially ones on Winter Update will accumulate a lot of posts quickly.
