Notification of being quoted

[driveway]

Just throwing this out there, but how hard would it be to set something up within the software that would notify a user when they've been quoted by someone?

Perhaps the notification could show up when you log on - or in your user CP somewhere.

It might make it easier to maintain conversations - and would lessen the need to scroll through pages of posts to see if someone responded to what you said.

I don't know if this software is capable of that, but maybe it's worth thinking about?

Interesting idea, it'd be a pretty heavy modification of the software as that kind of information isn't already available in the database.

But it's a neat idea.

If there's a PHP expert that wants to code and maintain a vBulletin addon...

The alternative would be to switch to a threaded view where the conversations appear like a tree structure rather than one message after the other, but I find that distracting IMO.

Agreed.

Also argee with Jiri....

The notification of being quoted would be cool but agree with the others the tree structure is terrible and should be avoided at all costs.

Whole-heartedly agree on the chorus of anti-tree sentiment. Trees are for turning into skis. And toilet paper.

I want the tree just to piss Jiri off for closing my million post thread.



Seriously though, don't ever put it on....some people intentionally quote and requote people to make it more annoying for the rest of us.
