[Suggestion] Quote Notifications

It'd be nice if there was an option to have the forum notify you when someone quotes your post (similar to PMs). It would be easier to discuss things back and forth without having to dig through and check back on the topic all the time.

I mean I guess it's possible. The quote parser already has a callback that I could just add a username check on to.

You know how places like 4chan have links to posts that mention them, that kind of thing should be implemented here

That's significantly harder to do.

Yeah, quote is one of a few tags that have preg_replace_callback instead of preg_replace so that gives me a nice place to deal with it.
