i think it would be sick if NS had a ntifications feature like Facebook. like when you log in, there is something in the upper left of the screen with the title "Notifications". the same thing as "messages", "friends" and "online". the notifications can be:

if someone comments on a video of yours
if someone comments on a picture of yours
if someone replied to a thread of yours..
etc.


and i just realzed this should be in the site suggestions thread... but whatever

thoughts?

i like the idea if its for pictures and videos,

if its for a thread like the lets see your whips or scene girls thread
a notification after some time might get annoying if your on of the very first posters in a 20+ page thread

NOT threads.  If you made a multipage thread like chadsgap, you would gets tons of notifications and it would just piss you off.

As part of the whole 'make it optional' thing....maybe instead you could choose what you wanted to receive notifications on. Like, maybe I just want to know when my pictures and blog are commented on, you know?

i think notifications would definitely increase comments, and people always like comments

I'm going to take all the ideas in this thread that I like and give you my overall idea of what I'd like to see happen.

-Have a notifications feature
-have it be optional... as in you can turn it on or off just like the fancy editor or whatever it's called
-if it is on, be able to select certain items to receive notifications on. A little box that you could check mark would work perfectly. Check all the boxes that you want to receive a notification for. For example, check the boxes that say picture comment, video comment, but leave out blog comments and feedback comments.

oh and one more thing...

-you can have it enabled so you can receive notifications on both your pictures/videos/etc and other pictures/videos/etc that you comment on, or just things you comment on, or just your own pictures/videos/etc.

I think with those things covered, the people who want the feature would love it, and the people who don't want to receive notifications don't need to worry because they can simply disable the feature.

Good idea. It would be nice to know if someone commented on pictures or videos.

this should be optional


and each item should be optional aswell

so you could pick if you wanted notifications on

Pictures

Videos

Threads

or whatever



Just make it completely customizable per user

It would still be nice if you could just look at a notification, click it, and it would take you too the point in the thread where the person quoted you, although generally I look through the whole thread anyways...

See? "The List" does get completed eventually.... just might take a bit of time.

I actually remember adding this thread to said list.

You can turn the email notifications off in account settings. There's a link at the bottom of every email to manage your notification settings.
