would it be possible to get a notification when our posts are quoted so that we know when someones actually replied to us rather than reading through the whole thread
so what do you guys think and is it doable?

That sounds like a good idea. It is just like on Facebook where you get notified when you are tagged in an album or comment on a status.

a quick google search says yes, and not sure if it would be implemented though

It's a good idea except if you made a thread and someone quoted the original post you would get and email that you were quoted AND someone replied. A double email. And people quote in parts so if they split it up would you get more than one email?

thats why you dont get the email notification
just like those you get for vms or pms
and it would only do it one per post

I like this idea. I'ts annoying having to go back through a thread to see if someone has quoted my post.

I really like that idea.
That way I won't have to read through all the shitty old threads to see if anyone has replied to me :) lol.

I dont see a lot of need for it to be honest. I check up on subscribed threads under User CP and that does it for me. But I guess if can be done easily enough....

this is a good idea, but I don't want to subscribe by email. maybe a choice to subscribe by PM.

Or just have it under the notifications like we have for "Unread Visitor messages etc." It seems like a pretty good idea

I think there should be an option to have it send an email. I never check the notifications.

You can subscribe to the thread and get email updates.

That's not the same. People would rather be notified when their post has been quoted so they know to look at the thread, Nick.

I know that, but maybe some people dont make use of all of the existing facilities.

I think its a good idea, i always forget where to check and usually can't find it.
Although lengthy messages would be annoying, just little notes in the head bar

I was just thinking about this the other day. It's a good idea.

I'm all for it so long as it can be disabled in the UserCP. Honestly, I don't give a damn if someone quoted me and the notifications would just piss me off more than anything else.

I say do it, it makes me happy when people communicate with me, and I love notifications(:

I like this idea sometimes I forget I posted in some thread or I asked a question to someone or something.
