Some enhancement suggestions

[Shade-]

Here I am with some enhancement suggestions for future updates of MyAlerts.

• mark as read directly in drop down: when clicked, a notification can be marked as read automatically. Right now you have to go to the UCP page to mark a notification as read, even if you have already seen the PM, seen the post in which you were quoted, etc.. Also, it would be useful if for PM receipt notification wouldn't disappear since user reads that PM!
• when an user replies to a thread, the notification for the author of that thread shows only the thread link with an action=getnew in the end of its URL. But what if in meantime another user has posted a comment in that discussion? A post-specific link would be appriciated, although if I'm not wrong this feature is already planned, isn't it?
• new notification for when an user replies to a thread you're participating in, which is slightly different from thread you've started. You participate to a thread when you reply to it. This would be useful only for some boards, but will actually rock!

• Already planned, though in a different form. Alerts will be marked read once you open the dropdown - similar to how Facebook does it
• The idea with the current implementation is that the alert is only received once per thread. Taking you to the newest unread post therefore makes sense to me
• This has been planned from the start, but implementation is slightly challenging without using a ton of queries. I'm still looking for the best way to do it.

I see. Well, Facebook-like mark-as-read feature is the best solution. No chances on getting post-specific link? I know the current method makes sense, however it would result in a more accurate MyAlerts' feature I guess.

I will consider it though it would take a few changes and others seem fairly happy with the current implementation.

Thank you euantor, really swift and efficient support.

No problem at all :)
