One more

One more thing (and I might just be getting picky here) when middle clicking to open a notification in a new tab on the forums, the menu stays open so you can open a bunch of threads all at once, whereas on the front page, the notifications menu slides back in every time. Any chance of keeping it open on clicks?

Thanks!

Done

Anyway else experiencing this? Am running latest version of Chrome and the hyperlinks on the notifications dropdown don't fire. They do when I go into Forums / Notifications.

Oops...overlooked that... will be fixed asap

It would be nice if you guys did something with OS X Mountain Lion's Notification Center as well. Websites can show alerts through Safari 6.

and I think Notifications work with Chrome as well now

EDIT: Yeah they do they show in the Notification Center options

Luckily I found this thread because I wanted to make a suggestion to modify the way notifications are displayed!

Currently when I click to view the notifications list, I see something like this...

Many of those notifications are for the same article, and I don't know which belong to that same article. Can you change it so it condenses all those notifications and I see one notification for each comment thread? For example...

PmRd and 5 others have replied to a comment you made in "Firefox for Windows 8 gets new status update."

This makes the most sense because when you click one notification, you'll read the first reply to your comment, and all the other replies below it until the end of the comment thread. If you made a comment somewhere else for that article, it would be another notification. I'd like it this way instead of a single notification per article because I'm not gonna reread all the other comments for that article every time I click a notification for it (and hence I won't re-encounter/find my own comments somewhere else in the comment section for that article). The way it's currently set up, I have to blindly click each notification entry to go through them all.

As for sorting this new setup of notifications, each of these combo notifications would be ordered by the latest comment made. However you'd see the username for the first unread comment in reply to your own comment.

If this isn't very clear, I can see if I can make a Greasemonkey User Script to show what I mean.

    • what other retro software do yall use

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛

      At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
