Good feature to have but it is impossible to implement with the existing software and we already have lot of telegram and notification bot then why we need to use resources from the forum?
Even myself subscribed to 3 telegram bots and one notification feature.
Topic: Get Notified when quoted - on forum feature - page 2. (Read 401 times)
Wouldn't that be helpful?
Yes, I totally agree with that. Most forums have a similar system and I am surprised that this one does not have one. I'm surprised it's for a security issue as @Quickseller comments but I suppose there is some reason like that.
I think it's not appropriate if we put this notification into a message tab its better if we create additional notifications right there side by my messages also it might be spam on your messages too if you put it there. Just my recommendation too. I guess sometimes mostly us didn't watch too many notifications because it's just about the quote. Also, email notification on the forum is enough for me I guess.
Maybe it's because of the software that the forum used that feature like that can't be implemented on this forum. I also prefer forum user to make their own userscripts. Due to the software used in the forum that it may cause security risk. Yes, it would be good to have feature like thay but I would like it to be a notification rather than message as you may think that a DM would be a notification message when you are quoted.
I would rather prefer a direct link to alert page in blue bar than going through 'My messages'. But I get the gist.
I just click or tap the [new] on the topics that I have previously replied and just check if I get quoted by other users, it is much faster to do that because if you are not quoted then you can just go back and search for another or click another [new]. There used to be a bot
Yeah, but who needs a bot when you can implement it onto the forum. Looks like there is a reason why the forum can't have it.

Btw there's a message alert when you receive a pm, just check the "show pop up when you receive new messages"
Yes, there is. I meant that the notification alerts would also come to the same page. There used to be a bot

This one makes sense But anyways better than missing it. 
Yea there are a bunch of telegram bots for this but why forum itself cannot have this feature?
Perhaps this forum software is too old to support such features? I am still a little comfortable with the telegram bots. The suggested feature would definitely make me forget or skip important PMs thinking they are just notifications
Another advantage about the bots is that the updates are real time unlike the forum where you first have to refresh in order to see a new message notification.
There used to be a bot that would automatically send PMs to people when criteria was met, including options to notify you when you were quoted, or when you were mentioned. The bot hasn't been online since the end of 2019, and hasn't posted any notifications since May 2019, presumably because the VPS bill stopped getting paid.
The person who created the bot, Piggy hasn't posted since July 2019, and was last online about a year ago. I am guessing he either lost interest in the forum, or is taking an extended break.

There are lots of discussion related to this.
Due to some of these features cannot be implemented on the current forum software or not that prioritize, idk. Some members made their very own contribution (telegram bots notifications, etc. which you mentioned) just to deliver this lacking features.

1) You receive a notification into your messages page first
2) "Alerts" section on my messages page
3) And something like this
Wouldn't that be helpful?
