Duplicate Alert message in tab

[jadmperry]

I have no idea about the proper name(s) for what I am discussing/asking about, so apologies if I mangle this.

Here goes. On some websites I visit, when I have multiple tabs open, if I get an e-mail, or a PC, or other action happens, an alert shows up in the tab. That way, when I am looking at multiple sites in the same window, I can see on the tab that some action has occurred. I think it would be cool if there was some functionality to give notifications of changes in XF in the tab.

Again, I have no idea if I explained this well, or if it makes sense (or if this is already planned). If anyone needs clarification, I will give it a shot.

You mean in the browser tab.

This has been suggested previously, I'll see if I can find the thread.

Thanks, guys! Yep, it looks like I am late to the party on this one....I think it would be a cool feature, though!

I've merged those other 2 thread as they were the same suggestion, I'll mark this as a duplicate.
