[Modified]Notification System

[Austrie]

Something to add to the Notification System, is when ever somebody says your name in a post, you get get notified. Not a bad idea in my opinion, it will help users keep track of posting involving them.

I don't know... it's a decent idea in theory - but to add basically 1 million words to to a filter each and every post has to go through? Gah.

Well, as an option that users could turn on themselves in User CP - isn't a bad thought. I'll see if I can find a product for it. If so we'll give it a test (our server load already stinks). If not, this would have to go on the developers to-do list .. which will take a long time, likely.

Good thinking though.

Sounds good. Like the facebook mention when you type @friendsname

Personally, it's a neat idea but I don't see it as being very practical.

Wouldn't this slow the site down a decent amount? I don't see enough of a pay-off for that myself. Now, if I were wrong about it slowing things down, then I don't see it being a huge problem (unless it's really hard for the devs to implement). I still don't see a need for it though, but it would be okay if you could choose to turn it on/off.

Having it set as 'off by default', but being able to turn it on in User CP, will help with the site load when this feature is implemented.

TBH, I kind is like this idea (but I can only imagine what it would do to the servers).

There is a mention tag system in existence ...

I was looking at that, (well not that, that one was for 4.x), but still have yet to sort the free vs paid features. It does look doable and not TOO much of a load.

That said, I have a meeting with Rob Saturday to discuss ways to cut BACK on load - so I'm not doing anything before then.
