Absolutely, yeah my thoughts are to add a transparent user group to the forum providing the permissions such as receiving PMs and posting guidelines (e.g. what forums can this functionality live in?). The user group will be good enough for user control, you can just remove the ability from their profile via the AdminCP -> User Information.

Shovel,

So if I understand correctly, you can specify which forums it 'searches', and also which users' posts are scanned, or which users are 'notified'?

Who will be scanned and who chooses to be notified. Correct.

this is going to be a great hack i will have alot of use for this, keep up the great work your doing :D

Just seeing how it's coming along, Shovel! No pressure, I'm just curious :)

The weather's been very very nice here, so if you're like me and would rather run out and enjoy the sun, I don't expect anything anytime soon!

I'm to very interested in this mod, thanks alot Shovel and great idea Elenna.

Would be interesting to see how it plays out...thanks.

Any updates on this?

Just seeing if you've made any headway on this, Shovel. :)

There used to be a hack called "Who quoted me" that does something similar.
