Should we have Topic Alert?
Skillful
Hello guys.
We all have seen the new Topic Alert feature/member in the chat.
I want to say that many of the members on this site find this annoying and so i have set up a poll.
Please vote in the poll and give your views about Topic Alert.
Instead of LOL use this -
LSIBMHBIWFETALOL

Which means -
Laughing silently in between my head because it wasn't funny enough to actually laugh out loud!

It's not annoying at all.
It should be disable-able in the ucp though

I will be adding an option to turn it off.

I dont find it annoying though I think its good so you can be in the chat box and not miss any important topics that get posted and it looks like just another member chatting so its not "in your face".

Maybe also a feature for like ;
if its posted in the news about cns forum , then it should say : "Important : New topic : blabla"
if its posted in the boardroom , just "new fun topic" or something

You know it is funny!
I thought all this time that this site was for Coders and Coding Help.
Why does it seem to be turning into a Chatroom?
Doesn't people have MSN Messenger, Yahoo, IRC, ICQ, Jabber, Trillian, Google Talk?

I always thought that the mChat was for Help and Support.

On a personal note!
I like the "Annoying" Topic Alert Feature.
I think it is a nice adition to the board.

Nice Job Codenstuff, Keep it up the website is looking great.

Scottie, if you don't like people chatting, ignore them, and just look at the board.

I don't think its annoying, but i think it should have been coded so that its not a member/bot sending it, rather it should look different from normal chat members. Look at mChat version 1.3.5 to get what i mean.

So instead of having it like this:

Topic Alert
LINK GOES HERE

it should be more like:

CodexVideos (or members name)
New Topic: LINK GOES HERE

And maybe you could add new replies too :)

Anyways, these are just suggestions, it looks good right now, and i'm impressed at what CodenStuff always does.
