New Alert System + Upcoming Feature - Brian - 07-30-2022

Hello SparkItUp! I just wanted to discuss our new alert system and an upcoming feature.

Alert System Powered By MyAlerts
I am happy to say we got a new alert system! You now receive on-site notifications for a lot more things then just private messages. We hope this systems improves our user experience. More information below.

What Is MyAlerts?
MyAlerts is a plugin for MyBB created and maintained by Euan T.. It is a system that provides visual alerts for events in a forum on a user-by-user basis.

Notifications
The currently supported events are:

When you're quoted in a post
When somebody replies to a thread you started
When somebody @mention you in a thread or shoutbox.
When somebody likes a thread you started.
When somebody likes a reply you made.
When somebody adds you to their buddy list
When somebody PMs you
When somebody replies to a thread you are subscribed to
When somebody votes in a public poll When somebody rates your thread
When somebody changes your reputation

Change Alert Settings
Changing your alert settings can done via the User CP under "Alert Settings“.

Upcoming Feature
SparkItUp plans to introduce a followers system in the upcoming months. We think the old buddy list (which never gets used) needs a upgrade so we wanted to change that system into a following/unfollowing system which will be integrated into our new alerts system with a follow tracking system to keep track of your followers posts. Would this be something you guys are interested in?

Anyways thanks so reading this read. Have a good one.

Thanks for taking your time to add new features to both of the websites. Great job! I also support the idea of a follow system I know I’ll use that.
