Is there a plugin for Chrome that will give me desktop notifications when I get a notification on this forum?

I have a plugin that does this for Reddit comments/mail, and it's really helpful, especially for /r/counting.

That would be awesome, I hope there is!

You could have an email setup for the notifications for LTT forums then have a mail checker extension.

This, just make a gmail account just for the forums then just install this extension - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-mail-checker/mihcahmgecmbnbcchbopgniflfhgnkff?hl=en

Also make sure to use two-step authentication.

 

Just in case someone wants your forums account(doubt it, but still).

I'd prefer if they could send someone to tap me on my shoulder instead of a Chrome notification. Much more personal :lol:

Yes, it's called e-mail notification. All you need is an e-mail account and a e-mail software that you leave open, like for example Outlook or Thunderbird.

OR they could make an LTT app that sends push notifications.

Yes, because we all need a running background app for every single web site we use.

That's the smart way to do things. I also have all my games running at the same time, and all my programs, I just switch between them via the task bar. Closing programs are for wimps.

great idea I'll try that , with the unlimited amounts of CPU power and RAM in my unobtainium case  that I like to call my PC!

I was talking about an android/ ios app, like how the facebook app beeps like a text message when someone talks to you or something.

How is it different? It's a program.. running at startup... running all the time on the back.

The proper way is having 1 app handle all notifications.

Well if the program runs on your phone, then you won't have to install programs on your computer... so there's no startup program. Apps like the facebook app don't slow your phone down when they auto-check for notifications.

If you are in dire straights to find a reply to your N threads, just open up each thread in a separate tab and keep clicking re-load all for that window of your cherished threads.

 

Or just check your notifications later when you get the urge to read the forum again... is this really a problem?
