Add-on Alert All Users to a Thread

[Joeychgo]

I would like to see a button, whereby an admin can create a thread and, by clicking that button, alert all members to it.

This would be useful when making a site announcement such as a new feature, new rules, announcement about the site, etc etc etc.

You could just use the "Alert Users" page in the Admin CP.

 

[Joeychgo]

well, that is a bit tedious -- I'm just talking about alerting users to a thread.

It doesn't seem that tedious to me.

• Post thread, copy link
• Alert Users page
• Paste link and optionally write some text
• Send

Just offering it out there as a solution that already exists and is fairly painless.

You could possibly use the [bd] Tag Me add-on which allows you to use '@usergroup' to tag the whole group which also sends an alert.
