notification..? please ?
 

it would be REALLY nice if there was a notification for when you had a new rep or visitor message..


see at the "user panel" button i put a (1) example, except the font would be normal.


please?

It's like one click to see your rep.

and it could be zero clicks.

one click to see that you have NO new anything?

thats like not having the notifications for inbox messages.
"it's like one click to see if you have any new inbox messages"

and inbox messages are probably used less than reps & wall messages.

Well, I believe you have to go into the CP to do all kinds of other stuff. I believe that is where the notifications for friend requests are.
You have to go into the CP to go to the Social Groups, and see profile messages, and to make any changes for the forums.
I dont see the point

you ALSO have to go into the inbox to make a new message, read messages, or read sent messages.

why would they put notfications for something that has much less things to do than usercp?

you'd think that they'd put notifications for something that you can do much more in, so that you wouldn't have to go through everything to see if something is new.


also, to view your social group you have to go into the user cp. what if someone replies to your post and you don't find out till weeks later, because no one took the time to notify you?

Wouldnt kill you to click on the user cp once when you are on to see messages, really.

Not necessary, as stated above, its one click away... "Oh my god! "

No, but it certainly wouldn't kill anyone to add a (1) to User CP.


"Oh My God it's so much work!"

It's not exactly easy to modify vBulletin. It's an extremely complex PHP/MySQL script. True, you could probably isolate where PM notification is scripted (assuming it's in one place), then figure out how reputation and visitor messages work, and then find a way to implement PM notification for reputation and visitor messages. But, that's also assuming that reputation and visitor messages are written in a way where notifications are easily possible. You guys have to remember that GraalOnline didn't script this forum, the reputations, visitor messages, blogs, etc. They were all scripted by people, who are intimately knowledgeable of vBulletin's cores, that spent days upon days (sometimes weeks, depending on the objective) working things in to a vBulletin.

Long story short: something that is trivial -- like adding a number next to "User CP" -- isn't always easy.

Tell your suggestions to the vBulletin developer team. The moderators or admins here cannot edit the vBulletin code that much since it is quite strictly licensed and possibly even encoded by Zend Optimiser, so there's nothing that anyone here can do to bring your suggestions to light, so please stop posting these threads.

Thought about posting this, but he beat me to it :cool:

It's a lot easier for members to click the user cp, then it is to edit code to put that one there, if it can even be done

I agree with lizzy.

Stefan knws magic tricks to make this happen in less than 30 seconds,rlly.

Ok so its a little work for one person to make the (1) to see new rep and such

or thats all the members having to click to check...

Learn to read:

You should both be well aware that there is a mass amount of addons, plugins and modifications for vBulletin (including what Elizabeth is asking for) without having to "edit the code" and the request she made is basically just a header template modification and a plugin upload probably. Don't act as though it'd take some strenuous hard editing of the software, because it really would not.

seriously though, is it THAT much trouble for stefan to take 30seconds away from his work to add a user cp notification? he could even get someone else to do it if he couldnt do it!

I wouldnt know how hard it is. I cant access that part. I do know it isnt hard to click on one link though.

i wasn't referring to you.
it would be even easier to just put the notification there

Oh, I am assuming that you are familiar with the coding of vbulletin then?

i never referred to myself, either?

stefan would OBVIOUSLY pick someone who was familiar with it... ?

just look up add-ons for vbulletin I can almost guarantee that there is an add-on that does that and would cause them no more trouble then a few moments time

You said it was easy. I was asking how you would know

well im pretty sure its not rocket science to add a (1) to the user cp.. and if other people are saying it'd be easy and they know more than me, then i guess it must be easy.

bump.
i'm not letting go of this thread.
i WANT notifications.

im sick of checking every two seconds to see if someone has replied, when they haven't

Then go ask somebody in the vB modding community to make a mod for it. :)

I support!


Notifications pleaseee:)

Rufus answered your question before you even asked it, right?

Then dont check every two seconds. >_<

Darlene, at the end of this discussion to you agree/disagree?

Disagree. Personally I dont see what the big deal is on having to click one extra click. My opinion.

I see your point, but it can be handy... maybe its not a very urgent matter to add this but it could be very nice, and to listen to Customers requests :)

Sure, but it isnt up to me anyway. I cant make those kinds of changes.

The rank of "Forums Admin" seems to contradict that statement O.o

Just thought it was kinda weird.

I am an admin, but I do not have the rights to make changes to vBulletin. I don't have rights that I don't need to moderate the forums, and moderators.

Then pass it up the chain of command or kindly don't respond if you can't change it/make decisions about it.

That's rather mean to say. You can't make any changes or decisions, either. All forum users are entitled to their opinions, not just non-admins. Who's to say that Stefan, or Unixmad (if he knows anything about PHP), can change it? Skyld has already pointed out that vBulletin is most likely encoded, which means that you can't make direct changes to the codes.

-shrug- My signature was earned.

So, you are saying that those who cannot add this should have no opinion?

If I thought it was some awesome idea, I would bother unixmad with it.
