Not sure if this will do what i want but il test it and thanks for sharing.

[ZUCCO]

Will this work for vB 4.2.2

What am I missing here?

This is a standard feature in vBulletin, unless the user opts to NOT receive notifications. Members subscribe to threads they want to follow and I have my forums set so that the default is to subscribe a member to a thread if s/he replies. Why would anyone need this add-on?

Not sure what this mod does? It creates notification when there's a new post in subscribed thread to all subscribers?

I don't understand this one?

I created this mod over 2 years ago for my members who didnt subscribe to a thread, but for users who replied to that thread- get a notification in "dropdown area" when there's a new post/reply.
My original mod also sends a notification for new photos comments, group comments, etc...

It creates a notification when there is a new post for those who replied before.

I don't understand this one?
Example, you replied to this thread before me, so now I reply here, you and 4 others (gwerzal, ZUCCO, djbaxter, Alan_SP) will have a notification in dropdown "1 New Notification".

Do you plan to expand number of notifications? I mean, their types?

[mokujin]

Yes, my original mod has new notifications for pictures comments/group comments/or a notification for the poster if his/her post has been edited by someone else ( a moderator). (and more)

[Alan_SP]

When you say your original mod, you mean what exactly? This mod, or some other mod?

[pablodip]

I see too much potential for this, and mark it as installed but I think it would lack some improvements ..

Run 4.2.2

[yjmalmsteen]

Great mod :)
I wonder can you add notification option when someone quoted your post?
Thanks btw

[hoangserip]

thanks for the great hack,
I will test now!

[Raakin]

Is it possible to add more options to this mod?

For example, allow users to disable notifications for un-subscribed threads.
And allow individual users to disable notifications completely from their userCP.
