Very nice and useful addon. I always have at least 10 tabs open in my browser :D, and this addon comes as very handy to track my forum's activity.

A key to keeping your users active, is keeping them updated with the latest Alerts and this add-on does just that. Your user's XF browser Tab will stand out and get clicked-on more often. Just another example of AndyB's attention to detail.

As previously stated: "If they wanted to rewrite xen 2.0, then they should include all andy's add on in the core." and I tend to agree. The more I use his add-ons, the more insight I obtain to his (excellent) train-of-thought behind them.

Thanks for the continuous support, our members love it.

If they wanted to rewrite xen 2.0, then they should include all andy's add on in the core.

It's a simple but a great add-on to keep users connected to your forum.
Many social networks make use of this, so why not use it in your own forum?

Great support from Andy, as always!

Awesome plugin and quick updates. I would definitely recommend using this if you have a busy forum, It's easy to notice instead of swapping back and forth between to see if you got any notifications. Thank you! :)

This is something we had been looking for, but had the idea that it would be very painful to achieve. This add on makes is extremely easy to install and use. Staff has already played with it and got excited about it. We are currently using Xenforo 1.4 Beta 3 and experienced no problems at all. Thank you Andy!

Excellent simple add-on that updates alerts on your browser tab. It is very useful like many other add-ons from Andy.

The support is as usual as expected - perfect!

If you need something like this I really recommend you this add-on. No need to refresh your site, you can even browse other sites and you'll see alerts or new conversations in your tab.

Thank you Andy.
