I thought the idea was to increase sales, not make them plummet..

Make it as fun as you like. It doesn't have to be a corporate T-shirt.

Think of a cool fun slogan.

#2006364 Caaan we get a tweet button?

It's also possible to create custom styles for the button, so it can get a IP.Board look and feel. ;)

If you sent the tweet out starting with @twitter_account it would be sent as an @reply and not a tweet.

I'm curious as to why you saved that.

I'm fine with the current way, but I'd like to be able to use the HTML5/H.264 beta player instead of the flash player.


#1952277 Notifications suggestion

Posted Maza on 12 May 2010 - 05:38 PM

Hello,

I dunno if it's suggested before, but I posted a reply recently which said that it should be approved by a moderator before it's visible. I think adding a notification which tells "Your post/topic has been approved - with a link to the post" will be really useful :)

Well, if it needs some heavy coding or it's a resources intensive feature, you can just ignore it. Just wanted to add something to the great notification system :D

Notification menu is great but when I click any links from the Notification menu, it will direct to Notification Page.. I really don't like this and its annoying. I would prefer it to direct to topic, reply or status.

I agree. I've said it many times too. I don't care about the notification. Why are you taking me to the notification? The notification holds nothing relevant. It did its job when it popped up. Take me to what the notification is notifying me about.

Some good ideas here and we agree with some of them. We'll keep improving notifications - don't worry :)

This is why we preview things on our forums before release. Not only do we get bug testing but also feedback from real use.

Indeed, we didn't want to build a new system, put it up, tear it apart, put up another version, etc.  It's generally best to make changes in steps so that we can weigh what works (and what customers like) vs what doesn't.

Great feedback so far
Another example of why IPB is the best forum software available. Developers who actually listen to user feedback!

Yes. I know you guys have said this is planned eventually, but I think it's a little too fundamental to allow it to wait. PM notifications should take you to the PM, status notifications should take you to the status, quote notifications should take you to the topic.

That would make the feature incredibly helpful. As it is, it seems more like a checklist of things to try to track down [if you even can at all, as in statuses].

Getting at what the notification is talking about

You've probably have heard this over and over. And by the blog, I'm assumming it hasn't been done yet. But I feel this is the most important part of the notification system that is missing, above everything else. When clicking on a notification or the button it should take you to what the notification is talking about. A great example is when someone quotes your post. It should take you to the post that quoted yours.

Keep it simple... please!

The current pop-up has three buttons, not including the new arrows:

View Notification (1/#)
Mark As Read
Ignore This Notification

The first button, "View Notification", should be "View" and should take you to what the notification is talking about. A notification on the board should be small enough to fit into the popup. There is really no need to go to another page to read it. The only time a notification should have detailed information is when an email is sent.

"Mark As Read" is a bit useless. It should be assumed that if you click on "View" or close it that it has been read.

"Ignore This Notification" should be something like "Close", but should mark the notification as read.

If you have multiple notifications and close the box, only the viewed notifications should be marked read. If you use the arrow to view two and click "Close" or "View" those two are marked read, but the others are not. Still, the popup does not show up again for the rest. The number at the top should reflect the number of unread notifications.

Two numbers? Shouldn't there be one?

To me having another drop down is horrid. Especially when the number is 0. What's even worse is having 1 number for personal messages, and another for notifications. I think that the number for personal messages should be replaced by the unread notifications number. Display the unread notifications number how the personal messages number is. When you click on the number it should take you to "Your Notifications" (no menu, please). If you view "Your Notifications" it should not mark all notifications as read. If you click on a notification in "Your Notifications" you should be able to get at the "what" from the list. When you do this, or view the details of the notification, it should be marked as read.

The "Your Notifications" list should use the icons that the drop down menu currently does.

Clearing out old notifications automatically

For me personally I don't bother deleting old notifications that are read. It's too much of a chore. And other users will likely feel the same way. There should be a way to automatically delete notifications with some sort of threshold... At least after they've been marked as read.

This is my opinion of how the notification system could improve at this point. To me if you were to consider these things the notification system would be much more useful.
