Notify of new hack?

[MindTrix]

I guess this is more of a request. Would there be a possibility of beeing notified by email when a new hack is posted? Maybe have a option in the user cp saying something along the lines of "Notify via email of new hacks"

So when someone posts a NEW THREAD not reply, in the full release forum an email is sent out to everyone maybe titled "New hack at vB.org".

Or if not having the link in the user cp, maybe a button in the forum entitled something like "Notify Me Of New Hacks"


Im guessing all this would be a big no no though because of the amount of emails you would end up sending??

Thanks for your time/responses/thoughts :)

I think this is a wonderful idea IMO

[MindTrix]

OMG someone agrees with me for once **faints**

[MindTrix]

**wonders why no admins have responded yet :)**

[Xenon]

hmm, we'll think about it :)

personally i don't like to add another emailsending hack to vb.org as we're sending out a lot of mails already.

but we'll see what we'll do :)

[MindTrix]

Yeah i thought that could be a problem, Maybe you guys could figure a way around it.

[Logikos]

Thats a great idea! i would love to see that

[sabret00the]

great idea MThmm, we'll think about it :)

but we'll see what we'll do :)the hack update thing email still don't work :(

[Xenon]

sure it does :)

[Gio Takahashi]

I'd love to see that too, MT. I always rely on the front page whenever there is a new hack out.

Thats a great idea, how come Admin never thought of that one :P

Just subscribe to the forum...you can get up to daily updates.

But doesn't that mail you for EVERY post in the forum?

[Hobbes]

...this sounds like a splendid idea, would be excellent IMO

and yea doesnt subscribe email every POST? :p

[Erwin]

Mmm... it's a modification of forum subscription, to email out only NEW THREADS, and not replies to threads, in the Hack Forum.

Not that difficult. :) I'd wait till RC comes out... no point mucking around with the code now. Stefan is free to do it if he has time, otherwise I'm happy to.

[Xenon]

you can do it, as i have a lot of other more important codings to do right now

stress

I think a weekly update would be best if anything. Almost like a bulletin of released hacks from that week for those who want it.

Ohhhh thats much better idea (kinda :p)

Like a vB.org weekly newletter? Could have a section on the letter about New hacks released, Section about Hack updates or fixes? And a section for Beta hacks?

Of course on the updates/fixes part, there should be a section made on the board that people who have made a hack can go and post about an update of fix etc. This way the admins dont have too search everywhere


Overall if set out nicely etc etc i think it could be pretty nice. Nice suggestion Mist

[Xenon]

good idea mist, now start and code it ;)

[MindTrix]

I think really Xenon doesnt have important coding too do, hes just struggling to keep his post count way ahead of everyone else :p

Anyways, Go on Mist, you know you want too ;)

[Dan]

We know you can do it Dean!

you just don't see which things i code, as most of them are not visible in public

(also some are for university, so i won't tell you ^^)

and i have to view most of the threads on vb.org, as it's my job ^^
don't post and i won't answer anymore :p

[MindTrix]

Lol true Xenon, but we appreciate your help and hacks ;)

(didnt mean no offence by the previous hack)

[Xenon]

:)

i wasn't offended :)

You'll see some hacks by me, once vb3 hacks are allowed ;)
* Xenon is starting a new install file to write ;)

[MindTrix]

You run the site, allow vB3 hacking ;) Lol nah Im sure everyone can wait, just think of the amount that will be released, mmmm **drewls**

Install file, intriguing

[MindTrix]

Sorry to bump an old thread but is there any news on this now or isnt it going to happen?

[Xenon]

as we said, surely not before the rc

[MindTrix]

Sorry i didnt see that part. Thanks Xenon

[MindTrix]

RC1 is out now, so anyone going to give this a shot? Pretty pleaseee :)

[Xenon]

erm, it was meant surely not before we upgrade to rc :)

[MindTrix]

ok ok ill sit here and twiddle my thumbs for awhile :)

Didnt realise you hadnt upgraded this site yet.

[Xenon]

even i need some sleep sometimes ^^

[MindTrix]

No you dont Xenon, No-one does :)

Any way im sure your pretty busy with your own things as it is.
