SimonHi Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 .net alerts are cool that is official there aren't enough of them tho the technology is underutilized Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prof. Frink Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 Neowin needs some .NET alerts... for example, if you subscribe to a thread, or to let you know that someone has quoted you in a post.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john smith 1924 Veteran Posted April 2, 2002 Veteran Share Posted April 2, 2002 can we like make our own .net alerts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orig Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 AFAIK, you have to "license the .NET technology" to make .NET Alerts which isn't exactly cheap..however, it will also let your users log in with a passport account (woohoo! lmao) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvorgold Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 someone whos good with .net stuff code something for neowin so a popup will come up whenever someone replied to a thread u subscribed 2 instead of getting a tonne of emails n have a small lil icon in the systray with the neowin logo so it can check every few min to see if somenoe replied...lol sounds weird but it'dd be handier than getting a tonne of emails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 I suggested this idea a while back and Neobond said that the implementation of a .net alerts system would be expensive, just as Orig said. It would be a neat feature, though since most people with Windows XP has Messenger running anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted April 3, 2002 Veteran Share Posted April 3, 2002 Well, what I'm working on is an addin (MessengerAddIns.IMessengerHeadlines for you 1337 coders out there), and looks free from my vantage point... We'll see what I make eventually :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
