[Implemented] The Ability to follow a forum/subforum/whatchacallems

[Dess]

Pretty much as the title says. I was wondering if it would be possible to follow a subforum or whatever they are. It would be helpful in the case of ban appeals or things like that.

So say I wanted to follow the Ban Appeals forum I could just click on it here

After being brought to that page a box saying "Follow Forum" would be where the red box is so something like this.

The same general concept could be used for following something such as a map submissions subforum.

I'd think this is a good idea.

However, how would it exactly work? Do you get an alert when a new thread gets made, when a new post gets made or by both? Or can you choose which one?

I would probabily not use it but it would be good for ops.

 

[DarkHender]

Please this would make dealing with ban appeals easier.

It would be even better if RoF staff was tagged when the RoF prefix thing was used in the ban appeal section, and the same with the other servers, making it more functional.

This would be a pretty nice feature, even for other parts of the forums.

 

[Wimali]

Yes, this seems like a great idea to me! Not only for ban appeals though: When you're extremely dedicated to a server, it would be awesome if you could just follow the entire forums..

This is awesome I've wanted to do this so many times following news and announcements of servers usually played would be nice since those sections tend to be rather inactive so I forget to check them until something insanely important comes out I miss it completely

This will be added later today. You can then subscribe to a subforum to get alerts/emails when a new thread/reply is posted.

 

[Dess]

Right, thanks for the work on this!

 

[Forseti]

Great suggestion! The one gripe I have is that I hope people don't get too comfortable with this and forget about a thread that hasn't had any new posts, say for example a TBU ban appeal. q:

GmK , this feature doesn't seem to work for me. I've been following the RoF forums since Friday, the day this feature was added, but I'm actually not getting any alerts when someone posts a new thread or responds to a thread I haven't responded to yet. I'm not sure if I'm the only one though.

Bram, did you set it so the notifications are by email or by alert?

By alert.

 

[Dess]

By alert.

Ah then I am clueless. Try unfollowing then following again.
