Powerfrog Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Hi. I'm fairly new to the forums and have been enjoying the runescape discussion, but it's a bit of a pain when i don't know when someone replies to me or even not to me, but in a thread i'd like to discuss about. This means i have to look at all my old posts to check for replies, and most of them have none. :angry: If this was implemented i think people would use the forums a lot more, as they can discuss and know the people they're talking to will see their post, and then know when to check for their reply.

Serpent Eye Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 You can also open the topic you're interested in, and click the "Watch Topic" button near the top of the screen: You'll then be able to choose your preferred notification method (email, etc.) Anything you mark as Watch will appear in your "Watched Content" panel on the main page: If nothing is appearing in the panel, that's because no one has replied to that topic since you last visited it. You can click the "Toggle topic with no new" button and it will display all your topics, even if there are no new posts. You can watch entire forums (ie, Help & Advice) or specific topics (as you can see, I "Watched" this topic you posted.) :thumbup: You can also go back to the top of the forum or topic and click the "Stop watching..." button to remove it from your Watched Content.

Powerfrog Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 Thanks for the help guys. I feel dumb now. :P Care to explain what 'inline' and 'personal conversation' are though? I just want it to tell me when someone replies to me on the site, i don't want to be emailed or anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serpent Eye Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 "Personal Conversation" is your standard Private Message (PM) on forums. So instead of emailing you, it will just send you a PM on TIF, letting you know someone has replied to a topic, etc. An "Inline Notification" is more-or-less like a pop-up on the forums, doing the same thing as above, except it doesn't actually send you a PM/email.

D. V. Devnull Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Powerfrog, I suggest the Inline Notification, if you want to be notified at all. That nifty little number with a down arrow by it (between the "Sign Out" and "Signed in as <name>" links) is where it will reveal itself, making it extremely friendly and easy to pick up on. :thumbsup: ~D.

And talks in 3rd person for the timebeing due to how insane they are... Sometimes even to themself.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
