Forum Upgrade: "Your Notifications" (1 Viewer)

[Shannon Reuss]

I think it will be best to discuss each change and enhancement on its own specific thread and I thought I would start out with the most obvious change: "Your Notifications".

The FAQ has this to say about "Your Notifications":
What are Your Notifications?

When you have logged into the board, a link to 'Your Notifications' may be displayed in the 'Welcome' box near the top of the forum. 'Your Notifications' will show if you have any one of the following:

• Unread Private Messages (?)
• Unread Profile Visitor Messages (?)
• Profile Visitor Messages Awaiting Approval
• Incoming Friend Requests (?)
• Requests to Join Your Social Groups (?)
• Invitations to Join Social Groups
• Unread Picture Comments (?)
• Picture Comments Awaiting Approval

By clicking on the 'Your Notifications' link, you will be able to quickly see how many of each type you have received. Clicking on any of the links in the menu will take you to the relevant page within the User Control Panel or elsewhere in the system.

We will go through a lot of these new features later but for now you just need to know that clicking on 'Your Notifications' will show you at a glance if you have new messages or comments. Happily this also replaces the pop-up messages telling you that you have a private message and all the extra clicks it used to take to view the message.

I should point out that if there is nothing to notify you about, the link reverts back to the basic "Private Messages" from earlier versions until you get a new message or alert.
