Suggestion: notification of when someone quotes you

[Slapshot136]

this would be a nice feature to have so that you know when someone replies to you personally, I would prefer just a list of posts that I have been quoted in, but a PM or something would also work

It would be handy but only in a limited amount of cases. Quite often if I'm replying to the previous post, I wont bother quoting what they have said. And then I have noticed that some people don't actually use the quote system properly. Also given that you have replied to a thread, you are probably going to be interested in what other people have to say about the topic. So in most cases, just subscribing to the thread is good enough.

Auto-subscribe to threads?

This would only be useful as an RSS feed I think, otherwise your inbox (both PM and email) will get flooded, which is no fun at all.

Again, you can just subscribe to threads that you post in and they will be shown in the User CP.

I know about the subscribed threads, but generally im more interested if someone quotes me, rather then me getting an update for everything that is said in the thread

People just usually hit post reply. What about quotes in so important? A response is a response, period.

well I have it now, so I guess it was important enough to include in the code

Alerts should be fine. If there's any responses, just hover your mouse over "Alerts" at the top right.

If you are talking about the way Stack Exchange do when you're quoted, it's plausible...

Alerts should be fine.

yes they are, but this thread was a couple of years old - it took 2 years to implement
