I use the notify button all the time. It lets me know that a thread I'm interested in has updated, instead of checking for it every so often or futilely looking for it in the first few pages. Is that really that unusual?

Not super unusual, though I mostly use it to get email notifications when one of my project threads gets a reply. Helps me know to check the forum!

What, you mean I'm the only one who obsessively reloads the page every two minutes in the hopes of an update?

That's an overstatement. Only TBF is capable of that.

Nah, it's easy enough to follow things, it's posting in every single thread you have updates for is the challenge.

I update new replies all the time.

Posting to follow and using Notify button does the same thing. In the posting page there's "Attachments and other options" where at least I have "Notify me of replies" checked by default.

So on page http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?action=profile;area=notification;u=87967 (where the number is your user id) you see list of threads you have posted, sorted by last update included with link to first unread post. Really handy thing. I don't even know how others are keeping track of their favourite threads.

I post in them so they show in my 'show unread posts since last visit' place v;

Every two minutes?  Slow.

Yeah.

Also:

Notify button sends you an email, PTWing adds a thread to the threads that show in your 'Show new replies to your posts' link.

At least, that's how my setup works.

I tend to use notifications for things I need to respond to on a vaguely timely basis, versus just refreshing unread replies for everything else.

That list shows just about everything for me, even DF modding threads and I don't even visit that subboard. Notify button works for me nice, meaning I don't need to do this PTW thing everyone else is doing, "Show new replies to your posts" lists threads I don't care about anymore, the reminder email goes into my trash email anyway so it's no problem either. But whatever floats in your boat. Just letting you know that Notify system is more configurable, you won't be needing any extra softwares to clean up that list.

Those two links are confusing.  Unread Posts is the most recent posts on the entire forum.  New Replies is threads you've posted in.  Can we get a different thread for this discussion though?

I just use my memory.

Is that abnormal?

Also this.

Question:
Are Interest checks for games all okay?

Question:
Are Interest checks for games all okay?

Hmm...given 'interest check' tends to imply the game is still in its very early infancy, I think that may deserve its own category.

Well, I have a near fully-formed idea, but one that I'm not sure would get any traction. This specific thread doesn't quite seem active enough for that.

We really need some Senators in Birth of Bureaucracy to prevent the Dictator from concentrating all power in his person. In addition, you could pass some legislation making you guys governors of cities and provinces and whatnot, so you could do some empire-building while our nation of Estrella has some fun power-struggle tug-o-war. The senate is all NPC now so they're a bit of a non-entity, which is sad as that makes half the draw of the game non-functional. You could also start with your own private army and just go conquering land for the lols. Really a lot of options open atm.

In addition, the important position of Minister of the Economy is unfilled atm, and we could use a new player for the Minister of Civic Service.

EDIT: This is the closest I could find to a "player recruitment" thread on a quick check, so sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place.

Distant Colony needs a replacement player.
