Notifications

I really want MFP to update their site. One of the new features I'd love for them to add is the ability to get notifications like Facebook does. It's kind of hard to reply to your friends here since you need to constantly keep checking if they replied. It makes it seem like you're ignoring them. Sometimes I forget about something I posted and I'll see it weeks later and someone asked me a question about what I posted and they never got an answer from me on time or at all. I feel bad when that happens, especially if it was a serious, important question or topic. :ohwell:

Does anyone else feel this way? I don't know about you but, being able to know when my friends comment on something or post on my wall would help with communication and motivation a lot more.

    Didn't mean anything by it - you could probably even peruse that forum to see if this was posted before and if a moderator replied. Just suggesting :bigsmile:

    Exactly what I'm saying right here. lol Thank you :happy:
  • if we got a little reminder like facebook every time someone posted on a thread that we made a comment on it would say we had way to many responses and it would be everytime we logged on. What would be the point. There are way to many posts that are not directed toword us. I don't think it would be useful.

    Ok then...have the option to choose which posts we've commented on to watch and keep track of...like the most important ones. That option Facebook doesn't even have.

    No. . this isn't facebook. .it's BETTER!. and could be even better with a few tweaks.

    There are a LOT of things that could be done to improve MFP. I love MFP, but there are things that annoy me and as far as I can tell, there has not been a single significant improvement made to this site since I've been on it for a year. .

    The OP hit on one thing, for sure. . And no. .you wouldn't have to do it just like facebook, where you get an email everytime someone posts on a forum that you posted on. . but what If you could get an email when someone 'quoted' your post in theirs? Or some other mechanism for informing you when something pertinent to you was done. .

    And also, the newsfeed posts. If I post to the newsfeed, it would be kinda cool if I got a message telling me when someone commented on it.

    A 'like' button in the forums would be cool.

    The PM system is ridiculously primitive. . You can't even order by sender. . You can't export your messages if you want to save them. They don't thread the messages (only showing you the last reply). . etc. .

    Anyway. . Those are my top gripes. .

    Are you sure Facebook doesn't have a "follow/unfollow post" option that lets you do that?

    I think OP means notifications for forum posts...and perhaps for comments on *other peoples'* walls. Like if I comment on your status update, I'd like the ability to know if others comment after me (without refreshing your page every five seconds...not that *I'm* refreshing your page every five seconds, because that would be creepy).

    I'm all for better notifications around comments here. As long as we don't create a Like button. I can't stand that. Epitome of lazy, it's all anyone ever does, is "like" crap. And I get this little red flag every dang time, all because someone "liked" something.

    I have been requesting the same thing!! I understand you can set it up to get a email but that only clutters your inbox. I have a iPhone & I would love to have sound notification just as if I were getting a text message or a email. I want something that just makes it evident that someone responded to your post, asked a question, or simply wished you a wonderful day. I asked about it shortly after joining. I see know there's the ability to ask friends to join from Facebook or log on through your Facebook account. No ones wants another Facebook, just a better way for notifications!!! Please we're practically begging you!!
