    Quote Notification

    Hi Admins. I know it might be a little early for me to be making requests. I've been using the Vbulletin format for well over a decade. I think it's the absolute best format for these boards.

    Recently, another Vb board I'm on activated a feature that gives you a notification (same as 'thanks') when someone quotes you. In the beginning I thought it was annoying. Now I've gotten used to it, as it makes it a little easier to follow a discussion than simply subscribing to a thread. (something that seems to happen automatically here)

    You guys have that in your bag of tricks?

    Thanks for the consideration.

    I get notifications when someone quotes (responds) to me, if they "like" my post, and also if they tag me in their post.

    I think what he’s referring to is this:


    Quote Notification:
    • No
    • Email
    • Private Message
    Would you like to be notified when someone quotes something you said in a post?

    but then wtf do I know?

    You are probably correct. That one has to be set to Private Message.

    I get popup notifications of PMs, but nothing else. I never see anything when someone does the @ sign before my screen name. I can see that I have over 10,000 "Notifications", but the PMs were the only ones I knew about or paid attention to. Somebody PMed me a while back, upset because I hadn't responded to their Friend Request. All I could say was, "Sorry...I never saw it".
