Adding reply username to the emails?

[MikeRenz]

I know its possible, becuase other ubb's i'm on show tells you who replied to your posts in the email notification.

I like that feature..does anyone else? If its simple to do, could you add that?

 

[TheObiJuan]

what?? it works for me. it is toggled on the profile. also whenever you reply it is at the bottom of the list of boxes that can be checked.
if it helps...

 

[MikeRenz]

No, you misunderstood. I get the email notifications, but in that email, it doesn't say WHO replied to your post. Only that somebody replied.

It'd be cool to show who replied, so you don't have to waste your time if the person that replied is someone you don't care what they think. :lol:

 

[TheObiJuan]

oh ok, im a retard. thanks, yeah that would be nice to have.

Ian, Keith think you could install this?
If you need any help shoot me an e-mail..

 

[Ian Turgeon]

let me know where you found this and I'll look into it

 

[icatcher]

I already implemented it on my board here...
it came from phpbb.com,
I've implemented a bunch of mods, mainly just to learn php..

 

[Loeryder]

Soooooo Are we getting this feature or what???

Lots of other boards are using it and it makes it cool to know WHO the PMs or Replys are coming from so you can gauge if its a total waste of time to go read or not.

Seems like it takes forever to get updates either here or www.syty.org

 

[keith455]

I'll look into that. I'm going on vacation this weekend but I'll try to do it tonight or when i get back i promise.
Thanks for the info chris.
Keith

 

[keith455]

OK i made this change. someone please reply

 

[Tooky]

Here's a test reply, Keith.

 

[Loeryder]

Cool that worked...

Now can we get it on the PMs too???
they still just say someone replied to your message, not who.

if I had 50 PMs I'd have no idea who or what any of them were responded to until i got there to check.

Thx.
