Alert System for PM's as well as pop-up?

Post by Anakha56 »

Here is a link to a mod for an alert system for PM's to be used with the pop-up.

Don't see a need for this one.

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

Actually I do. I have missed several pm's because of pop-up blockers. Out of all the spamming Anakha has done, this is the closest thing to useful that I've seen :P

Also, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to discuss, or if I've even set it up correctly, but subscribing to threads has done absolutely zero for me :|

:roll: it's right there... i mean... right there... all the time... time taken to look at the message count... milliseconds... time taken to deploy and maintain another pop-up mod?.... too much...

just saying...

I'm just saying- this seems to me as the most worthwhile out of all his spa... errr.. I mean suggestions.
If it's not implemented, then no biggie. :|

As an alternative, the forum supports Jabber as well as e-mail notifications. It was very buggy in the beta/RC stages, and I've never experimented with it since, which is why it's never been set up here.

Would you lot like me to try setting this up again?

An inconvenient truth :roll:

I maintain that just because a feature exists and it would make a select few lazy peoples lives an iota easier is not a good enough reason to implement it.
If you are running a popup blocker and are in favour of a feature that will cause pop-up-like alerts, you need to euthanize yourself.

You can always exempt your favorite site from your pop-up blocker. All pop-up blockers I have seen thus far has such an option.
