Does Forumosa Have Alerts?

Are there alerts that are possible that would immediately notify Forumosa members without actively viewing Forumosa?

A app would be cool

Notify us of what exactly?

A fire, an earthquake, a tsunami, a protest that is interfering with transport, a drunk driving checkpoint, a two for one special at the night market…

We could set up a thread where people could post such information if they like. You could sign up for notifications to the thread, and if you have set your account to enable email notifications, you’ll get them. It’s hard to say how it might work out though.

No, I think he means notify us if replies and likes.

Let’s pick a single subject and give it a test. How about bad air days which occur every week or so.

But I guess the problem is people like to chat so no way to distinguish important items that deserve an alert.

That would be a big problem.

Unless we make it automatically locking, like the job ads.

Maybe, so only mods or TL3 members perhaps could post.

How about a forum named “Alerts” where each topic would be a single post of a notification? The topic could be automatically locked after the first post.
Those who are interested in the Alerts could just set to receive notification from that forum.
Wouldn’t it be easier to implement?

If that’s the question, then yes, there is this option.
It’s in your Profile page, under Preferences/Notifications.
