    Hey Brawl,
    I had an idea for a forums addition. It's actually really small, but can we maybe have a system that you can hear it when you get a notification if you're online? Maybe Brawl could add an option that you could hear like a 'ding' or something, that would indicate you getting a notification. This would only happen if you're online. If you don't want to get the sound, you can switch off the setting. How's this for an idea? I just wondered if this could somehow work out.

    P.S. if you realise you wanted to vote something else, you can.

    I like this idea. Players like me open forums and the game at the same time and if they play the game they cannot know whether they have got alerts or notifications.
    As you said, adding a sound could help by notifying the players. This sounds like Facebook's alerts which include a sound.

    Yes please, this would be very useful for me, since I tend ro do other things at the same time. Would be much easier then clicking back and forwards each time.

    -1 the forums are distracting enough without audio cues

    Kind of unnecessary to make this change, seems pointless to put in some effort for something that isn't really an issue.

    I agree it's distracting, but the idea is that you choose to hear notifications or not.

    Good idea, but it isn't really needed

    Maybe it's not really an issue for you personally, but some people run the forums while they're on mc. And then they want to know if they got a notification. It could be handy for the people who want to run the forums during gameplay. If it bothers you, you can simply turn off the notification sound.

    It's quite a small addition, but handy for the people who want to run the forums during gameplay.

    You're going to be checking the forums in the middle of a game?

    No, but if you're playing a game or something to kill time until you get a reply, you can now know if you GET a reply xD.

    I just think Brawl should focus its attention elsewhere rather than work on implementing a command that only benefits some

    It's a real small addition, but it could come in handy for a bunch of people. You don't even have to have it on, if you want to hear it, you turn the option on.

    Not everyone plays a PvP game which would cost him the match.

    Maybe save some money for a second monitor so you won't be annoyed opening the same thing over and over again xD.

    It's a fun idea, but it might get annoying with those 'Counting war' threads :stuck_out_tongue:

    Unwatching a thread is possible and it's your choice whether you to watch or unwatch, have sound alerts or not.

    I know, but someone might not want to unwatch it, and still have those sound alerts.

    Well, maybe he can as well choose which threads to have sound alerts on?
