This mod displays a copyright notification in the footer of Show Thread and product pages which includes:

• 1 Link to DragonByte Technologies homepage
• 1 Link to Product Description page of this modification

I think it would be good to have an option to have it added to the user profile, and instead get a notification and when you click on your notification you get sent to your profile tab for it instead of having a pm.

1+ =D

So a visitor message notification? Or where you think of something else?

No I think what we want is a new tab for those notification =D

Or a small "follow me" icon in the postbit legacy (what redirect to the settings page...)...!

+1
This icon would be perfect either in the postbit legacy or the post footer etc

Ah! It's so clear to me now. Definitely a "will add" feature.

This is great idea!
The only thing stopping me from downloading/installing it right now is that for my forum's purpose's, as users are part of particular groups, it would be awesome if the 'group' itself could be followed in this way. So any member in GroupZ, which is subscribed to to follow, when they post a new thread, those followers are alerted.

Any chance of a feature like this being added? :)

If you post it in our support forums here: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/forumdisplay.php?f=200 it'll get recorded in our system and taken into consideration :)
