New Follow Post Feature

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 10:23:12 +0000

We have a new feature that we hope many will find useful to find topics of interest to you. It allows you to follow specific threads and get notification alerts even if you did not participate in the topic. When there are any updates to a followed thread, you will see a notification alert. You just need to check the "follow post" checkbox (see image below).

You can also just click the Star located next to all questions in the blue bar to follow a post and get notifications. This also adds it to your favorites list.

Finally, there is a setting in your profile to also get email alerts about any post updates that you follow or if you get an @ mention. The default is off, but you can easily turn it on to get them.

New @ Mention / Notification Feature

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 03:17:50 +0000

We just added a new mention / notification feature. If you type the @ symbol, a list of users will show up and you can select a person to mention in a post, answer, or comment. Just start typing their name or any part of it for a match. You might need to reload your browser for the new update to work.

Once the entry is approved by a moderator, the user mentioned will also get a notification alert so they can take a look at the content when they login to their account. It should help with getting more users interacting. If you find any issues, just let us know.

There are some restrictions that include no more than 25 users can be mentioned in a given post. Users that come up in the list need to have over 1,000 points. If a user is not on the list you can always just type their username directly.

Category Notifications

Mon, 13 Jan 2020 17:40:11 +0000

You can now receive an e-mail notification once your favorite category or subcategory has a new post. This will allow you to know when a person posts something in a favorite category you follow, like a specific club, etc. You can favorite a category by clicking on the heart or star symbol.

Note: If you don't want to receive e-mails for category updates you are following, just uncheck this in your Profile (click on username -> Edit My Profile) listed under mailings.
