Does Linustechtips need an auto notify?

DeadlyTitan · January 5, 2018

As the title says, do we need an auto notification whenever someone posts stuff on the threads that you are discussing? I think we do cause its hard to keep track of the threads you are interested in and without someone quoting you you'll never know when someone said something and its impossible to quote everyone just so they can get notified.

I think we need an option where uses who need it can turn it on and others who do not want it can turn it off.

you already have that. 1, if someone quotes you as I do here you can see it, or 2, you can follow the thread in the upper right corner where it says follow and then it will notify you of new posts in that thread like it was your own.

You mean like, following the thread?

Whenever someone posts in a thread you've followed you get a notification.

Yea but clicking follow on every thread you just posted can get tedious and sometimes you can forget.

So a simple option in the settings will do good ?

really the only other way then would be to have some sort of note in your signature or something to make sure people quote you so you can see their reply otherwise you may not.

Yes see, this is why i am thinking we need an auto notify option in the settings

I mean sure i am a new member but i do like helping people and i would like to know how they got their problem solved but i hate to follow every thread i come across and it gets tedious. So instead it'll be really handy when we post something in someone's thread we get auto notified without needing to clicking on follow the thread (you know like any other forums?) cause sometimes i will be multitasking and just attend the forums for a few mins to check it out and i can get lost in work and i might not remember clicking on the follow.

how would an auto notify response on a thread if your not quoted or tagged help? It would be the same as the follow function

Yes but maybe the thread is not interesting enough to follow but well just a ill bit interesting so you want to see the outcome of it or how it goes.

Also like i said i might not remember to click follow on every thread i visit and am sure there are a lot of people like me and this will help them. and if someone is bothered with that, then they can simply switch it off in the options. It'll benefit either and its just for ease of access, a little handy option.

Nvm a friend just pointed out that there are auto notifications in the notification settings. Thnx for the discussion anyway. This thread can be closed .. I feel soo stupid lol (well not the first time lol).
