There are unread posts in your subscriptions!

Do you want to be BEE? Because Bee could be BEE.

EDIT: Everyone's merged up to this point except for the people I've pointed out previously.

Oh I totally forgot to respond to this. If it's not too much trouble, BEE is preferable to Bee.

Any way to make a link to "Subscribed topics have been responded to!" at the top like the old forums? (Instead of emailing, because the email connected to this account is a fake email I made ten years ago that I use for spam lol)

Re: There are unread posts in your subscriptions!

Already done.

What would be in this Subscribed Topics link? Just a list of all your subscribed topics and whether or not there are any new posts since your last visit?

Re: There are unread posts in your subscriptions!

My memory is fuzzy, but if I recall correctly, when we got a reply to the topic we had subscribed to, a link appeared (similar to the "You have a new PM!" link) saying that the topic you subscribed to has been replied to!

Though what you described sounds nice too.

Essentially: I post to too many things on the forums to be able to keep track them myself, and I'm sure you do as well.

Edit: oh and thanks for making my name BEE!

Re: There are unread posts in your subscriptions!

That'd be possible. Should clicking the link just send users to their subscriptions page? Because apparently there's one of those already built into the forums.

Re: There are unread posts in your subscriptions!

There is? What?

Yeah sure sounds good. I assume that the links would be bolded if they had new posts.

P.S. Sorry for not putting this in forum discussion.
P.P.S You're awesome for adding small features to the forums that greatly improve my personal experience (and hopefully others lol)

Re: There are unread posts in your subscriptions!

Yeah, I just found it. Since we were talking about subscriptions I was thinking "there has to be some way to manage all subscriptions, right?" so I looked and it's in Profile in the User Activity box in the Essentials section. All I have to do is modify the way subscriptions work a bit so that the forums can easily check whether or not there are unread posts. I can probably knock that out sometime this week.

*looks around*
>_> Didn't even realize where we were. I'll split us off into a new topic.

thanks, it's actually pretty good for practice, too.

Re: There are unread posts in your subscriptions!

I have a better solution that is probably easier.

You know where it says "Topics: Posted | New | Active | Unanswered"? Just put a link to "subscriptions" there.

Re: There are unread posts in your subscriptions!

Can confirm: is 10x easier.

EDIT: Done.

EDIT: I'll also add a checkbox in Privacy so you can choose whether or not you want to receive emails when a subscribed topic/forum is posted in.

EDIT: Also done.
