    Aye yi yi...

    Um...that's what the User Control Panel (that heading up there that says "User CP") is for. :huh:

    One way to do it is going through the Additional Options that are below you when you're posting something. Go to the drop-down menu under Notification Type. It'll contact you either via E-mail or...

    After you subscribe to a thread, check your User CP constantly. It'll show you your rep and what threads have been updated.

    So...yeah.[​IMG]

    Hey! So yea I loved the notifications abuot visitor messages. It's awesome! I thought about Birthday notifications though. Like Myspace. They always notify you of an upcoming Birthday. Lately I felt like doing that for some time now but I can't keep track of all my friends that has their birthday coming up.

    Is is a good idea?

    Well, it won't be too hard just to look at the bottom of the page and look at "Today's birthdays" and the birthday notifications just condones laziness. I say no.

    Also there's the calendar, it shows when people's birthdays are :3
    Calendar also has a reminder feature, but I think it only works if you add an event. (Reminder is up to 3 days, plenty of time to prepare for a b'day :3)

    :) So I'm saying no, cos we pretty much already have this

    maybe it could only notify you of a birthday of someone on your frineds list. that makes it less agonizing.

    ^that is very good!^ Good idea! No offence, but I only discovered the calendar yesterday, literally! The coming b'days for our friends is good. I agree that for every single member's birthday to be notified would be too much of a hassle. the friends idea is good though. good thinking!

    Plus some people change their birthdays every single day >_> I personally would get irritated if every single day I got notified that X member was having a birthday xD


    Nice idea, but it doesn't really work on a forum <3

    There is a calendar and also an announcement of birthdays at the bottom of the forum so I don't think this is necessary. I don't really think it's a good idea because it would get rather spammy. We have a lot of birthdays and some people even change their birthdays so it is a nice idea in one sense but also really I think it would be too annoying after a while.

    This doesn't look like a terrible idea. Though are we just limiting it ONLY to birthdays. (not that I can think of any other needs for it =/)

    We are going to say no to this, at the end of the day despite the appearance xD we aren't myspace =P

    We are still KHV =P

    Added to this is the fact that some members change their birthdays more than they change their socks >_> and it would get incredibly spammy and irritating after a while.

    Sorry <3

    Email notification of Visitor Messages.

    I think this will be a nice addition to the list of options if it's possible.

    I don't think this is really necessary, since you get notifications of visitor messages and other things already when you log on to the site. But I guess it's not a bad idea if you don't check your notifications. =/

    agreed. I know I probably wouldn't use it, but some others might find use of it.

    it already right now shows up i the top corner, that's enough for me. But i guess if your on another tab and an e-mail pops up saying you have message, that would b helpful.
    I'm for it.
