Notify on reply to specific posts

Postby Mark.AU » Fri Mar 16, 2012 8:50 pm

Is there any coding available in this board format that would have a user notified their specific post was replied to (or was quoted) instead of the simple generic thread reply notification?

Thx.

Since the threads aren't nested there is no way to indicate whether you are replying to a specific post or the thread in general. So there would be no way for the program to distinguish either.

I have been on other forums that have nested threads and it's REALLY cumbersome- I wouldn't want that system here anyway.

Umm, thanks, but I was hoping someone with knowledge of the coding would respond instead of unsolicited op-ed.

The admins were having a look at it - i don't know the answer.

In the meantime, a little respect?

Just search the page for "Mark" with the Ctl F for quoted posts. No matches click next pages. Still no matches then no reply.

I can add it to the wish list but I don't have much time these days to add new stuff, so no promises.

I know that you can subscribe to certain threads, but I am not sure if there is a notify me when someone replies to a subscribed thread option...
