Notifications limit
Quote from Gbr on January 3, 2019, 1:42 pmHello,
We have a lot of messages posted daily to a specific topic, so one of our users asked to be notified by email only once, when a new post is submitted, until he visits the mentioned topic. (As an example, this function in phpBB sends the following notification message : “No more notifications will be sent until you visit the forum.“) As it seems to be quite useful to avoid tons of incoming emails from the same topic, I was wondering if this could be integrated in Asgaros Forum as well ?
Thanks in advance for your advice !

This is a nice suggestion, but comes with a lot of complexity which must get considered for an implementation.
Assume an user gets a notification and visits the topic. Unfortunately the user is not logged-in anymore on the forum. In this case its not possible for the forum to recognize this user. Even now the user read this topic, he will still not get any notifications anymore as long as he logs into the forum and visits this topic again.
I will take your suggestion into consideration and will evaluate it. Maybe it can find its way into the plugin in the future.

If you think it is worth to consider and evaluate our suggestion, that’s already a good sign! 😉
Thank you (again) for your support!
