Let users be notified when they've been quoted, who quoted, and the link to said quoted post.
I think it could be pretty useful, not to mention it the fact could potentially speed up conversations within the forum.
Just a thought.
PS: idk how the hell you'd do it, but I know it can be done somehow.
I'm sure some one has suggested this before, me thinks.
That would be awful, maybe you don't get quoted often but there would be tons of annoying notifications for conversations we're already closely following for the rest of us.
Agreed. No point in it. Just keep up with threads you keep up with. I always get annoyed when I open up my e-mail account to see messages about how I've gotten a reply to something I posted on some forum I signed up for a while ago.

You're awful. no no I'm kidding. but seriously. it's a good idea me thinks.
I don't care if I don't get quoted a lot I'm just saying it'd be helpful to some.
i actually had such a system in place before being asked to stop. Can re-continue it and make it open for everyone if moderators allow. and notifications can be controlled… you can visit a page to see list of posts who quoted you or you can get them via pm at end of everyday or some other ideas
…
Would it spam the already full PM even more?
Then it would be a curse..otherwise it`s not necessary but it sure could be used as an option for those who like it.

Kaze, if you're curious about if anyone's responded to something you said, just search your own name in the search bar for that specific thread.
Your posts – plus the post of anyone else who has mentioned you or quoted you in that thread -- will appear.
Quotes already have links built into them, its that little square right next to the user's bolded name. You click on that it'll take you to the original source thread.
People don't go around rampantly quoting and sigging things that much, and most of the time they throw a comment into the same thread along the lines of "Oh, that's great, I have to sig that!" So if you keep following a thread you're posting in anyway, you usually find out anyhow.
I don't think you need anything beyond that, unless you're so egotistical you just have to know when someone's talking about you. Really, if that's the case, there's a search feature, where you can hunt for your own name.
ah well. just a thought.

Having this as an option might not be a bad idea. I mean, I can understand if this is hard to implement or puts additional load on the server… But otherwise, if its just linked to the users preference, giving the user the opportunity to decide should be reasonable.
I also understand there are possible ways (or almost ways) to accomplish the same without having this feature but the more convenient the better.
There's an existing mod for this that allows users to view who quoted them from their user control panel; notifications can be enabled or disabled by the user (individually) or an admin (globally). I've seen the use for this mod on other forums and I know people really like it, so I've been planning on implementing it when we migrate to vB4. As with most mods, support for earlier releases (vB 3.6.8, in our case) is scarce, so we'll just have to wait a while longer.
Thats good to know brennen, thanks for the info.

Nah, you have become more and more bitter as of late, Robby.
Sometime I just went to a thread I don't frequent, make a random comment, then the next day I completely forget about it, and only much later I figured out I missed the replies to my post and it has been a few pages too late to answer.
Or, the case like Naruto thread, GD thread or some popular threads. When I comment it at page 356, for example. When I come back it's already page 377. I just read the last page and missed the replies to my post.

That sounds pretty awesome, I'm constantly forgetting discussions I get myself into without noticing.
What if someone is quoted repeatedly (a quote tree) and the response isn't directed at him anymore?
Quoting a post that has a quote in it doesn't carry that original quote over into the next post.

Wooo
I can wait.
Welll~~~ I know we JUST updated, but I thought I'd go ahead and bump this for shits and giggles.
NO.
Just check the thread you've been posting in, or if you've forgotten, just check your previously made posts.
Granted, I don't know if the latter of the two is working at the moment, but it's not hard.
Ok, I went ahead and added this. Consider this a test run. If people get annoyed by being notified I can disable notifications, but leave the mod on.
so theoretically. Is it possible to be notified/emailed when you are about to run out of space in your PM box?
No, this particular feature is neither related to email messages nor PM's. The notifications are only that, and the section in the user CP that logs them is separate.
I see. Would it be possible to impliment such a feature for the PMs? There's been a few times my PM box has been full and I've not noticed till someone has emailed me since it's all the way down at the bottom of the PM page. Past all of the new stuff.
I can probably move the folder bar to the top of the page if that helps, and you can always download your PM's to an xml or txt file if you need more space, but you'll have to give me some time on the folder bar thing.
This is a great new function:)

Thanks, man. :]
Chrissie destroyed my profile and in the process corrupted my Notifications tab.
It continually says I have 1 Notification and will never go away.
Is there… any way to make it go away?

I deleted the first 10 posts Chrissie made (they can be undeleted if you're attached to them at all) see if that fixes it. You had 101 messages, so its possible that goes past some intended upper limit. (I don't know, just hazarding a guess.)
Interesting. Thank you Mister Bevard!
No thanks to Chrissie. Who is a monster.

I have 146 visitor messages so I don't think it's that. It was just too much pony-awesome for Holy's notifications to handle~<3
Well then I have no idea.
Is there ANYWAY to disable this in your UserCP? I find it annoying, I don't need to know when I've been quoted.

No, there isn't. I asked the same question when it was first implemented.
But I've very quickly gotten used to it and its usefullness. The only downside is its no longer just a pm notification flag, but its pretty useful.
Yes you do.
Not when you post in as little threads as me. I was just wondering if there was an off switch is all. I'll live.
This is a beta mod, so future revisions are scheduled to have an option to disable from the cp. If the developer never gets around to it I will look in to implementing it myself.
Much appreciated, but if it comes to that don't do it simply on my behalf. If it only bothers a few is it worth the trouble?
I personally don't mind it.
Yeah, this isn't working.
What is Oden saying to WB?
Become my son Whitebeard.
Yeah, this isn't working.
Might be better as a constructive comment if you describe how it isn't working properly. Brennen is pretty awesome, but last I heard he couldn't read minds…
i think he meant "this isn't working" as in this isn't working out, it sucks. (i'm just guessing though)
I like it. you don't HAVE to check the notifications.
CU he edited his post with the word "properly," implying that there is something not working as expected. If he hadn't included that word, I would have assumed he just didn't like the feature at all, like the earlier poster. I can understand that some folks want it gone–that's their perogative, but people who complain it's not working properly, but give no details, can't expect anything to get done, is all I'm saying.
He means it isn't grabbing every time someone quotes you. He's right. I think I mentioned it before but this mod is in beta right now, so it has some fine tuning needed for sure. In the mean time I think it does its job well enough. I've found it pointing me to quotes I would have otherwise missed completely quite a few times already, and when having longer conversations in a thread it helps to be notified immediately when the other party makes their follow up post. Etc.
Are we supposed to get a notification if a thread/forum we're subscribed to and have it set up as "notify via User CP"? I subscribed to the spoiler section last week, and haven't received any kind of heads up that I can tell from my User CP.
There's an amazing chance I'm "doin it wrong" but I'm not completely sure that's the case.
You should receive one, yes, but I noticed the same when I was testing it a while back. Didn't look into it much at the time. If you still get no notifications moving forward, let me know.
Quote notification seems to be 50/50 as to whether it works for me.
The "Who Quoted Me?" shit sucks.
I click that shit for it to go away and it'll still be all over my "Settings."
Kill it, please.
