A must-have addon for anyone looking to expand the function of the alert system while providing their users with greater control.

This is one of my favorite add-ons. I never liked how before, if you simply clicked the update notification "bell", it would immediately mark them all read. I much prefer each one marked as I view them! Thanks!!

Xon is an excellent person, I reported issues with the alert plugin and within a few days he fixed them all. It goes without saying that he's a great developer because it's obvious.

We are using this add-on on a very large forum and recently started facing issues. Xon fixed the issues related to deadlock we are having for us. His support is top-notch.

I've used this for over a year on a large forum with over 20 million posts. It's been working with no problems. Users like the improvements to the alert system.

As a forum owner, you want to give your users as much flexibility as possible. This is one of those addons that fills the void and solves many of the "are we able to ...." questions regarding the notifications system.

We aren't using this with Conversation Essentials, but are with Content Ratings and it works great.

The ability to adjust and customise summarization of alerts is brilliant.

Well worth adding to your forum this one!

Very nice to see this add-on updated to version 2.0. It was one of the add-ons I really liked with the old xenforo version, and has been missed by our members until now. Great work Xon!

Thank you for this free XF2 version, it is one of the essential addons before I can migrate. Xon is one of the most trustworthy XF developers, all his addons can be installed blindly, as everyone knows: it will work and it is safe.
