Replying to New NEWSCHOOLERS IDEA!!

Hey guys,

I know that I have little say on how newschoolers.com functions, but i was just thinking how cool it would be to have a notification bar. notifications would then be able to pop up when a thread you have created, or a thread you have commented on, gets a new comment from a fellow member. There are so many threads these days that i am interested in that get shuffled out to the 5th page in the forum (i know your going to say "searchbar") but it would be even easier than that!! all you would have to do is click on the notification, and it would redirect you right to the post...

Also, an I.M system, where we could just i.m the online members.with the current messaging system ,it is a little difficult to know when you get a message because you have to reload the page frequently.  An i.m system would eliminate all of that, and we could have a VERY convenient form of communication!!

Sorry for rambling on, just thought id get my thoughts out there!!
