would this be of interest (new pit feature) ?

Post by Andrew »

Just putting it out there out of curiosity, would anyone be interested in receiving notifications to your facebook accounts about private messages received on the pit and also notification of replies to topics you are watching/subscribed too?.

when we moved hosts we had to disable the feature that emailed notification of replies made to topics you were watching because of the large amount of emails that got sent daily and using up the daily limits.

sounds like a good way to overcome that by using FB :shrug:

for those who dont have facebook, maybe theres an alternative ?

I would say yes in principle, as long as there was an option to disable it if you choose to.

Facebook is killing angling IMHO so no!
My name is Oliver Queen, after 25 years in angling hell, I have come home with only one goal - to catch some Pike. Now others have joined my crusade. To them, I'm Oliver Queen. To the rest of angling, I'm someone else.... I am something else..

I agree however my thinking is the private notification thing on fb. "xxxx has replied to a topic your watchng click here to view" and redirects to forum.

Can't the Pit itself be set up to prompt all these things anyway? Private messages are quite clear, there's a huge Red notification already there.
