I'd love to keep this alive, it's a good idea and thread.

Oh, and by the way, I've updated the OP with the new image you made. Great job!

Can someone tell me what's wrong with these two, this made me LOL hard.

I like it. Can anyone do a greasemonkey script for it?

I'd love that. It would make it way easier to stay in active conversations.

I've always wanted a notification system on this website. This isn't exactly how I imagine it to be, but I like the concept.


Maybe also thread replies? :/

A notification system would be pretty awesome, Ive been thinking a lot about it and came up with the following:

I propose the following design to make forum following easier for all users. This process will be simple and accessible.

Similar to facebook (you cant say it fails, look at how many people use it), all these notifications are condensed into a list. Displayed as an icon to the right of the inbox button, the icon will icon will function as an onClick drop down list, with a list of all your notifications. Each notification can be clicked and will take you to the respective thread. A button at the bottom will take the user to a page with all your notifications stored.

Overview
Instead of "<username> commented on your status" (like facebook), the interface would use:
"<username> posted in the thread: <thread title>"Threads in which you have subscribed to (saved) will trigger these notifications.

Similarly, "<name> mentioned you in '<thread title>'"
You may ask, how would the mention system work?
Simple (to a degree), a new BBcode is introduced, I suggest the following: [user]<username>[/user]. The function of this is to:
a) Link to the users profile (i.e. this)
b) send a notification to <username>

for example, the code[user]Der Flatulator6[/user] would result in this: Der Flatulator6


THE NEW 'quote' BUTTON:
The implementation of this would require changing the function of the 'quote' button from this: (note I am keeping the bb code non parsed)


[quote ][b ]Posted By:[/b] <username>
<text>[/quote ]


...to this:


[quote ][b ]Posted By:[/b] [user]<username>[/user]
<text>[/quote ]


A simple array of settings would be located in the 'edit profile' section including the following settings:
Notifications:
[ ] Notify me when someone posts in a saved thread
[ ] Notify me when I am mentioned in a post
(both on by default)
Filters:
Send me notifications from:
(drop down box, multiple items selectable)
--All users (default)
--Moderators
--Bungie Employees


In summary
--add BB code [user], which links to a users profile and sends a 'mention' (explained below) notification (see below)
--add notifications. add to the sites banner next to the message button. Two different types of notifications: Posting in your thread, and Mentioning you in a post.
--allow changing notification settings.



Thoughts and opinions?
Could any of this be done with GM scripts?

p.s. sorry about the messy post, it is hard to organise this kind of post!

Chuck Liddell has that kind of weird, mohawk wearing, incoherent badass thing going. Frankie Edgar is like the nice guy down the street who helps you move in your furniture.

Many forums have this feature. Take Sherdog for example.

Very well thought out. I love the /user part

Thanks, I dont know alot about ASP.NET, but I think it would be able to send a notification (in the same way a pm is sent) to the user who is marked in the [user] tag...
It would save SO MUCH TIME!

I really like this idea and as long as it is able to be turned off and on at user preference, it would be perfect.

  • 06.29.2011 5:24 AM PDT

I disagree with the icon, but not the feature.

IMO, there should just be a single notification section up in the profile box which drops down into sub-sections for PMs, quotes, and other Bungie.net events.

I think that would be a pretty cool feature, but I don't see it as necessary. I wouldn't be sad if they never implemented it.

Edit for grammar. Silly me.

I may be hangin' out with some friends soon, but I'm going to work on this. Nice idea, should've thought of it myself.
