Did you ever look into that little notification pane that's in the upper right hand corner of you old board? The one gives you alerts when someone quotes your post. Really handy I think, then you don't miss replying to someone that has replied to you.

Don't know if VBulletin has that or what... just thought I'd mention it. We can always chip in again for those little add-on goodies...

I still have been unable to find the specific add-on you speak of. We did try a notification system, but it was too dense and too annoying.

Let;s try this new one. BUT - it doesn't notify on quotes and what not, at least that I can see. You can add notifications, but I have to learn how. This is kinda a demo version, without all the functions, but we'll get the idea. I noticed already at least a direct to inbox link.

I liked a few posts myself, but the notification did NOT show up. BUT, it still shows in the recent thanks page. Will have to wait and see when someone likes/thanks my own stuff to see how it works. I'll go read around the learn how to add new stuff. I don't mind it not showing my own likes or thanks notifications, since I kinda knew that already myself. But have to see how the rest works, to make sure something else isn't butting heads with it.

I already disabled the notifications I just installed. I didn't see much of a difference, and it didn't even show anything that I had thanks or PM's. After disabling it, they showed properly via the old system. Just not much of a difference worthy of working too hard at.
