I think this would be an awesome feature since I only like to check a couple of threads and check to see if I have any pm's and I check my e-mail more than I check sen.

I have included a poll but you should all post.

Edit and of course it would need to be optional.

Lol... to be serious, that idea sucks...
Why? I think it's easier just to check out here if you got a PM, it is good visable at the top left cornor...
that really really is a waste of time for IP n Moose

EDIT: You also may get spam-mails and deleted it without any reason (<- lol)

As long as it's optional.

When I first became active at sen again those were features I looked for, however since I check sen once a day anyways I see any pms I get. If someone really needed to get a hold of me my contact info is in my profile. Subscribing to a thread is still somewhat attractive, though I personally get fine by without it.

This.
I also liked forum subscriptions back in the old days for a reason.

I personally have no desire to use a feature like this, and I think IP's time could be better spent coding something more useful, so I voted for waste of coder's time.

I don't care if we get this or not so I voted waste of time, but then it glitched so Im not even sure if it went through...maybe IP could fix the glitches instead of add this almost useless feature.

I have sen as a start up tab, so in one two clicks, I can check to see if I have PMs, and then close the tab if I don't wanna use it. Works well, coding takes a simple copy and paste, and is very efficient, you should try it.

Please tell me you're kidding. Do you HONESTLY think we a suggestion of forced subscriptions would ever fly around here? I'm actually digusted.


Er. Anyway, subscriptions are feature of most major forums these days. They should be implemented eventually, but don't deserve a high priority.

I rarely check my e-mail anyway, so it doesn't really apply to me.

Lol, that was pretty blunt, he was just trying to be helpful.

Well, 3/8 so far think this is a useful feature. If that proportion is extended to the entire staredit.net population, that's a lot of people who would benefit. Does that make sense? Maybe not. But I recommend leaving this thread open for a while to hear what some other people have to say.

To be honest Moose, in these sorts of threads I find it better to be painfully obvious than to leave something obscure. No, I didn't actually expect it not to be optional, but I vaguely remember that v3's PM email notification was hard to turn off..

It could be good system for somebody, but not everybody.
Well, someone like me will love it anyways.
