I think that notifications would get very annoying very quickly.

Is actually very handy, sometimes you get quoted but don't realise so would be good to know.

I'd hate that myself. Would get VERY annoying very fast. If such a feature was there, then there should also be the option to turn it off in the user CP.

I'd clog up my inbox with folk quoting me going

Wouldn't mind a notification of quotes, especially given the time difference for me as I may get quoted overnight and then not see that response unless I go back several pages the next day. If it could be turned on or off then it shouldn't be a problem.

Be a bit surprised if this was easily doable. This forum's data model (schema in MySQL) is unlikely to track quotes as it stands, so it'd then require more work than hacking the page templates. Anyone know of a MyBB plugin for this?

I haven't looked but I'd be surprised if this was a MyBB plugin.

Frankly I think the tit-for-tat on here is bad enough without users being notified every time somebody mentions them :p

I've never seen it on any other forums so I doubt it exists.

They have this on redcafe, which is powered by XenForo. If someone quotes you or says you name with the @ symbol (eg @[deleted]) you get a notification at the top of the forum with a link to the post. Very good feature IMO.

But redcafe is full of wankers, so this forum still shits on them from a great height despite not having that feature.
Frankly, I don't see the need for this at all. Never really felt I missed something here. You just have to read all the posts on the forum...

Just checked by googling "mybb quote notifications" and a plugin exists: it's part of this package called "MyAlerts"

Since we're talking about improvements, any chance of adding something which allows us to embed vines and gyfcats?

Redcafe does have far too many rosters these days!

It's not a feature which is a must for any forums, rather something quite cool and handy IMO. Sometimes I completely forget that someone has replied to me so handy for that

This thread died, but it would truly be a great function! We have it on a norwegian football forum, it isn't annoying at all. Why? Because there aren't notifications. In the "User Menu" right beside UserCP, there's an option called "Last answers to my posts". If I press it, I can see a list of the last twenty times I've been quoted. Those who don't want this function don't need to check there. Not annoying whatsoever.

How about little tool that notifies you in yr User CP when you've been misquoted.

Hell, we could just have a little red light that flashes when you're full of shit!
