 |

|
Okay, so I'm sure everyone at some point has had a problem searching for direct threads around here, with so much traffic and threads moving up and down, back and forth.
Is it possible to have a Notifications window, much like Facebook, so I know when someone directly responds to me, or posts in a forum that I posted in?
Recently, the Minnesota Vikings forum had a "Adopt a Viking" thread going on, and I was on the wait list for over 36 hours because I never knew I was OTC.
Now, I know we can get emailed when someone posts in a forum, but I think it would be much easier to have everything on just the website.
and, maybe its not neccessary, but just like Facebook or Twitter, could we have a Search Bar to look for threads we may/may not have posted in?
Again, all this does is make it easier to search for old threads that we posted in. It would be beneficial to us all.
Thankyou!!

On the top right corner of the forum index, there is an option to click that reads "view your posts". This will list all threads you have posted in, ordered by the most recently posted in thread.
If you want to get notifications about a specific thread, like Adopt a Viking, you can click "watch this topic for replies" at the bottom of one of the pages of the thread.

I gotcha on the first part thankyou!
and I already stated in the original post that I get the notification via email. But I'd like to have notification through this website. It'd be much easier.

And here is your search bar.
You can take that and make a custom search engine in Chrome or Firefox. And you can do the same thing in Safari using Glims.
All I have to do is type ff Blaine Gabbert and I can find all the threads on him.

But its not on FootballsFuture. You have to go to a different site.
Why not just put that kind of search engine here?

It's right on the front page of the site.
A native search on site would cause the server to strain and run a lot slower for everyone. There used to be a native search feature before it started causing a lot of problems with severe lag of the entire site and had to be turned off.

Not related to this, but that sidebar needs to be updated. ET is still listed.
