I am sorry if this is a common problem or has been discussed before.
since I used this bot, I've already got 2 notifications from posts without a mention or quoting my post.
it's was not an edited post too.
is it because the poster clicked the quote button from my post but then decide to delete my post before its first published?

Not that it matters that much. I would like to suggest a small correction to some minor mistake. I will use Lakai01's screenshot. On the page of adding a user you want whose posts you want to track in the topic. There is a slight English error. Instead of "if you add an user to your tracked topic" It should be "if you add a user to your tracked topic" 
Otherwise, thanks so much for the bot. It has helped improve on my constructive discussion as I am able to follow up the replies

Thanks for the new TryNinja
I updated it yesterday in the german part of the forum and i had the same "problems" that Lakai01 describes here. The new feature was a bit hidden but with the instructions now everyone should be able to fix it.
@Lakai01
you can also put it in our thread and I will include it in the first post.

New feature:
- Whitelist users on your tracked topics: you can now (optionally) whitlist which user should trigger notifications when posting on your tracked topic.

This is indeed a very cool feature, thanks a lot!
To make sure nobody makes the same mistake as I did and has to set up the bot from scratch like me, here is a short tutorial how it works if you already use the bot for merit tracking/mentions:
As soon as you click on "Tracked Topics" you have to click on "Add New" and enter the URL of the topic you want to track:
Next, click on the topic for which you want to white list a user ...
... and click on "Whitelist Authors":
After another click on "Add new" you can enter the name of the user you want to track:
Thats it!

New feature:
- Whitelist users on your tracked topics: you can now (optionally) whitlist which user should trigger notifications when posting on your tracked topic.
Example: You add this topic in your tracked topics list. Rather than getting a notification for every single post, you can add my name and only get notified about my posts.
Why? Imagine if you were following ChipMixer's signature thread when DarkStar suddenly opens 1-4 slots. Right now, you would have received "only" 107 notifications of peopletrolling posting their applications. And that already happened with another user following his campaign's thread. 
edit: changed wording from "Specify Authors" to "Whitelist Users".
But anyone can tell me what they like/want on the bot. I'm always listening. The above feature was requested by a member of my local board.

I really don't know why so many are obsessed with merit counts.
It's ok. I think most aren't really that obsessed and they would do fine without seeing their merit count on every notification. But if I'm putting something on the bot, I want to make sure it's working fine, so I don't mind if people demand a fix for those issues.you should do a poll about the most used/desired features.

Complain with qwk for spamming you with merits. 
You are receiving merits so close from each other that the bot is sending the notifications in batch and not updating the cached count between each of them. I'll try adding a delay.

TryNinja, you should do a poll about the most used/desired features. I think that would be interesting. Personally, I like/value following topics a lot more etc.
Hi owlcatz,
I'm not that obsessed with the actual count but since the feature is implemented I'm just reporting the issues I got.
And as the way it looks right now the issue has already been fixed by TryNinja - I set my merit count manually again and it seems that it will work right now when u receive merits within a few seconds.
But a poll for new features is a great suggestion!

Looks like my merit counter is f*** up again for a few days now.

Haha yeah already thought that this problem was triggered by that action but since then I cant update it to my current count. After receiving new merits its back on an outdated count.
Maybe the delay could fix the problem. Thanks for reaching out so fast, will test to set the current merit count again in a few minutes.

Can confirm what the fellow members posted here.

Already tried to set my actual merit count but with it keep getting outdated after receiving new merits, so you might have a look at it again.
Or I am too stupid for this.. would love to get an update about that from you. Thanks in advance!

Since that day (Sept 14th) my merit is off by 1.
I have the same problem as asche. I have mentioned it here before:
Try /setMerit 12345 (with your merit count) Sometimes I need to clear the cache, so the issue happens again with a few users.
Just to let you know it happened again. Seems like it's getting quite common

There is already one web notification bot by @hatshepsut93: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcointalk-notifier-merit-and-quotes-push-notifications-telegram-5178331

I'd be interested, especially if you could push the notification to the browser so even if we don't have the forum's opened, we would still get notified.
as a extension menu It would be a useful feature 👌 ..
September 29, 2020, 01:49:04 AM
I was thinking about something like this before. Sounds fun to code.
Would anyone else be interested in something like this?

userscript or as a browser extension something like: https://ibb.co/N65Q2D4
although many do not prefer to use add-ons due to the security risks..

It would be interesting in any case. I think Telegram is not bad because the notification is also displayed on the mobile but I could also make myself comfortable with such a notification in the browser. The question is only if the effort is justified... also if you have to start from scratch

can make it as an Notification script Instead of bot ?

Seems the bot is not working tonight. I am tracking this topic and haven't seen an update since: ~snip~
Thank you! You just saved me some trouble in the future.The reason you didn't get a notification for those posts was because of their title:
Re: [Auction] ~<1 hr~ LTC Acrylic | SE Penny ROLL | Corrosive #8 | Genesis Ltc #1
It looks like the less symbol "<1 hr" made the message fail, since they are rendered as HTML by Telegram and "<1" isn't a valid HTML tag. Everything should be escaped correctly now.
Surprisingly, this didn't happen before.
