Admins: Can't we have a notification system on this site?
Will it be not good to have notification of any new events related to our actions?
Like if we post in a thread and someone responds to that thread, we can get notification of that here in this site itself (right now we have to choose "track this topic"). Also, if someone gets tagged in a thread, he can get notification for that.
Won't it be good? Otherwise it is very difficult to track the conversation going on in a thread.
I don't think ther's a need for this as the 'track this topic' widget is satisfying enough! Go to your dashboard and you'll get all the updates
dashboard doesn't notify of forum related activities, it only shows who voted, who added to network etc. But nothing related to Forum discussions
I get a notification in my dashboard if anyone has posted any reply for the forum topics which I have marked as 'Track this topic'. Dunno why it's different with you
Indiadmins/police please look into this problem
bushra...i dont think we get forum notification in dashboard....i never got mine either
btw i think only renie has control over that...not indipolice
Hey Nandini and Shantinath,
I am talking about simple notifications in dashboard
Here's a snapshot of how my dashboard looks at the present i.e, today...
Don't you guyz get these forum related notifications in your dashboards?
bushra no i never got those...maybe i;ve not tracked any thread..though i'm not sure
It's there ND. Click on the Dashboard button, you'll be able to see it. And as DS has rightly pointed out, you'll get a notification for a thread you created (unless you don't durn off track this thread) or when you track the thread you're replying in.
ND, You said you received e-mail notifications right? Than obviously you have tracked that particular topic.
Then why don't you receive these dashboard notifications...
Oh Yes, I am getting that kind of notifications in my dashboard. Perhaps I hadn't tracked any topic in quite some topic, so forgotten that feature :/
So yes, that solves the purpose to a great extent.
Only thing that I fear from choosing that "track this topic" option, because if a topic becomes very active, then it just inundates my email InBox, which I don't like.... May be they should think of seperating the two feature..
Keeping in mind the new forum rules, I don't think that'll be a problem now Shantinath
Spamming/chit-chat/everything which is not related to the topic, has been banned.
Ohh nice! I wasn't aware of that! Thanks for letting me know
yea...mostly on my review thread though... and for that i never got any notification on dashboardi dunno abt the other threads maybe the notificatons are off... though i dont remember clicking them off
When you feel your mail box is getting junked, just click the "Track" star again, Shantinath... and see it turn grey; that is the key to 'untrack' a tracked topic and stop recieving further notifications!
Yepp, I was aware of that. But anyway Thanks
*(Missed pointing it out earlier)
My reply was a response to this statement from the above conversation:

Anyway, my pleasure.
yeah yeah, I had got that Arti. Thanks for taking time to respond
Cool! I think the converstaions can now end as the question for this thread now stands resolved?
yes, let it be considered closed now.
