We already had the email notifications (RIP). They kinda sucked.


I remember that, and yes, they did suck, especially if you accidentally hit "subscribe to post" and checked your email hours later to see that it had blown up with notifications of individual posts.

I'm thinking more like somewhere on/near the TD banner at the top of the screen alerting you to a notification. Just click to view a list of them


This wouldn't be bad, IMO. Might reduce the number of bookmarks done (at least for me).

only way this works is if you only get a message if the person responded directly to you in a thread

This. Or when someone likes your post.

How would this notification work?

A notifications tab next to my profile, posts, and bookmarks?

Why don't you ask Chicken about this idea in the TD conference room and see what he thinks?


They don't pay much attention to the opinions of the guy taking out the trash.

Personally, I like when anyone adds to a discussion, but I could see this to try and keep it from getting too many notifications.

I always thought it was weird this board doesn't have a notification type system.



They used to have email notifications, but I think a notification that takes you away from the actual website (like having to check your email) isn't a great idea these days.

The main appeal of this board to me is its simplicity and minimalism. I find other boards too cluttered and busy.



Definitely. The hope is that they could come up with a good solution that doesn't clutter things up.

I think it would also kill the hamsters to keep up with notifications.



My main concern.

This would only be cool for non-popular posters such as yourself (no offense).
When I start threads they sometimes go 200 pages and people reply to my witty posts in existing threads. Getting several thousand notifications a day would be very annoying.

Plus it encourages not reading the board and just checking to see if anyone responded to your troll.


Just put a setting where you can turn notifications on or off.

I didn't read any of the replies but
1. It would turn into something like Facebook where you only check the notifications.
2. I get a lot if replies because I'm just awesome
3. IM threads

I post on another board where you get notified if someone quotes you or mentions you (@username). It took a while to get used to but it's pretty nice.
