raghu Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Hi,<br>I find that if I want to add or remove a word as an alert keyword, I need to disable the older one and add a new one. Say I want an alert every time the word G2 appears but a day later I want G2 or 10D, then it appears I need to disable the first and add a new one. Wouldn't it be easier for the user(less clutter) and easier for Photo.net (less rows in your database) to simply allow an edit?<br>Raghu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
severi_salminen Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Indeed, only three options needed: add a new alert, edit an existing one and remove an alert. Actually only add and remove are necessary. When I last time suggested this, nobody answered - maybe this time :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmj Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 I think it is a good idea. I'd also like a single page which combines the general forum alerts (http://www.photo.net/pvt/alerts), the alerts on specific threads ("Questions in which you've expressed an interest" from http://www.photo.net/pvt/full-bboard-history) and the photo critique alerts (http://www.photo.net/gallery/photocritique/add-alert#existingalerts) all into one. The combined page would then have Remove options for all three types of alert, Disable/Re-enable options for the photo critique and general forum alerts and an Add option for the general forum alerts. If Brian approves, I'd be happy to give it a try. (Don't know where I was when Severi asked...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissa_eiselein Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Instead of an email alert, I'd prefer a way to mark a thread so I can follow it on Photo.net. Is this something that can be done? This would be convenient even if I wasn't looking for new posts. Sometimes, I read in the morning before work but don't have time to reply until I come home. It can be a real hassle to search through all the read threads to find the one that I wanted to leave a reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprouty Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Melissa, What about creating a shortcut on your desktop? I don't know what you're using for software but for me it's as simple as right-clicking while in the thread and then selecting "create shortcut". An icon is added to my desktop and then I delete them later when I'm done reading or replying. Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmj Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Stephen, a very practical solution! And for people who read photo.net at work but don't have time to post a reply: try the "File, Send Page" function (Mozilla) or the "File, Send, Link by E-mail" function (Internet Explorer) to mail yourself a link to a page you want to return to.

melissa_eiselein Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Stephen: Initially, I would add the page to my favorites file, which was so long that I'd forget to look for them. But putting a link to them on my desktop is a wonderful idea! And so simple...duh, why didn't I think of it. Thank you, thank you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
