topic subscriptions

A few ideas I had which I thought most would find appealing:
1. having the abillity to view your subscribed topics in a list so that you may either go to said topic, or remove it from the list once you're done with it.
2. having the abillity for the quicknote you receive have the topic be a link which would directly jump you to said topic.
Example. You are on the zone BBS and someone responds to a topic you are subscribed too. As it stands currently it'll say"There is a new reply to XX topic from user a." What I think would be cool is to have it say something like "You have received a new reply to the topic "xxx" (ware it links you directly from the topic), from "User A" (ware User A is a link which would directly get you to there profile."
My idea is these aditional features of the topic subscriptions would make them a lot more user friendly. Great job so far! Adding these extra things would be a nice tuch though.

The third idea I just thought of is to have a checkbox when you post a new topic or reply to an already created topic which can be checked to subscribe you to that topic. This way you don't have to view the topic and go to the "subscribe to this topic" link.

I like your first ideas in post 1, and your other one is interesting but I'm not sure if it's necessary.

I like the first 2 ideas also.

i like the first idea, a list of topics would prove useful. as for the others, well if they happen i would be surprised, but you never know. the cls might like it

I have got an idea but i don't know how easy it would be. I think it would be nice if there was a link in our account settins saying subscribe me to all the topicks i started.
What do you think?

Good idea, but it could mess with people's minds, <lol>

I can imagine somebody doing that (just to see what it does), forget where they did that, and being enundated with emails about messages they started.

However, like I say, it's an interesting idea.

I like both JHradio's first two ideas and Nikos idea.

Personally I think there should be a checkbox when posting replys and posting h new topics to subscribe you to that topic. This way if you only want to subscribe to certain topics you can.

i like the first 2 ideas and the other person's idea. though not sure how much time it would take to implement. i definitely think there should be a subscribe checkbox it saves you from going back and forward.

it would also be nice if you could reply to each post. For example at the end of each message, there should be a reply option so you can remember what you're replying to easier.

Ah I see , this way you could include the quote you are replying too. This would be useful.
