Mat-Moo Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 Just as an idea, how about a feature where users (maybe usergroup controlled) can create a notification to be sent to them when a topic is started which contains certain keywords. E.G. if I'm interested in reading about threads that are to do with my motherboard or if I'm looking for a certain item for sale. When a thread is started (not follow ups, maybe optional?) then I would get an email stating that a thread X has been started with my keyword(s) XXX in it?
Smeg Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 A good idea, but think of it this way... Lets say 20 members sign up to be notified of 3 different keywords. thats 60 keywords in total. So everytime a member posts a new topic, or post for that matter the board has to check it for 60 keywords. Thats probably going to be really cpu intensive, even if you did make it into a Task. once again though, good idea.
Mat-Moo Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 Well IMO Notification should only last a month and your only searching for keywords in that forum on a Topic post being made (not replies). Maybe a board option depending on how busy the board is :) Thanks for liking the idea though!
