subscription system

i would really love a bb subscription system. it would make the bb useful for me. as it is i have no idea wich ones i am interested in and it takes too long to find them. what do you think?

Following/favoriting a thread is a forum staple, but since the SDK boards are so small right now, I don't see that (or many other fairly common forum features) happening.

Perhaps there could be alerts for replies to BB threads that you had created. But there's the problem of a cluttered alerts box, so options for customizing one's alert box might be a resulting idea.

Catch my drift.

I'd love it for blogs, I've had this in my head for awhile.

There's nothing to look forward to at 4 AM, is there?

Sif think of it like Nintendo Power or GameInformer, magazines you pay for them to get you news and entertainment at a normal rate like a new issue every month, but with here it's free and it alerts you when the person you subscribed crestes something new.

It could work, but there could be potential problems, as Lim said.

It's my job to help the next generation, and set a good example for them. And for that I'll gladly lay down my life.

Yes. Twists blog idea might work better though, because there wouldn't be as much alert clutter.

it could work... maybe not for individual people.. but maybea section..
EX. lets say that Someone creates a new Thread in the Pokemon forum. Kingofdarkness, who follows the Pokemon Forum, would get an email saying that I posted a new thread.

I think this is a good idea.

Hello, friends.

I'd like a user subscribing feature, so it will alert you when the user makes a new blog, forum post, etc. I bit like YouTube subscriptions.

I like this idea, it would be very helpful to people like me, who don't remember to check the forums regularly.

That, featured bb's, and favorites but all of those have their disadvantages like needing additional admins and such.

I'm not saying you're fat... but if i had to choose the 5 fattest people i know, you'd be 3 of them.

@Dillybar65 Well, for "featured BBs", we have stickies. Though I don't see why more admins would be required for maintaining something like favorites/subscriptions.

As for subscribing to a specific user, that would require a whole new friendlist-alert-esque interface. Some things are just better off remaining non-automated.

Catch my drift.

if we have to pay to be on any part of SDK, Im out.

I'll be back every now and then

@Darmani This has nothing to do with money...

Sounds like a great idea!

Leggo my Lego!

I Am not understanding what you are saying propably. however, i think i kind of understand what you are saying... categorised? for bbs? Well, they are already set in groups.

two is better than one!

I still think this is a great idea. :P
but like Limxzero has stated before it requires a whole new set of hoops to jump through.

^If he knows how to do it, it'd be easy.
