[Will Pay] Mass Alert System

[kingston]

The ability to send mass alerts to the board based on groups. This mod is worth $100 to me.


This mod has been completed.

Would these alerts use custom html or link to a thread/post?

Sounds like a useful mod. If I get time and no one else does it I'll make it.

Knowing Darkimmortal, as he's clarifying a point, he's already probably half finished it

I've proposed something similar to this.

Related to that thread you linked to. I made some additional suggestions I think would add substance to this awesome suggested feature. (below)

Before I read the first post this is exactly how I envisioned it to be described in the first post. Nice idea, good suggestion and a beneficial feature if you ask me I would like to see. Perhaps being an important announcement the colouring of the alert could be different from the standard red and maybe take priority asthe one that shows with a kind of weighting system being deployed so that this alert takes priority over other alerts.

Any change to the red popup will alert frequent users. To get other users surprised, you might need a bit more of a change. To get everyone to click it ... it would have to flash and make a sound. Actually a sound might work.



I think the "Priority Alert" should appear at the top.


Alerts are great now.
I think expanding them with a MAJOR ADDON, that supports other addons and tweaks would be a good idea.
Everyone would need it. We could all pay $2

If there's going to a sound alert I would like the option to turn the sound off in the adminCP, I hate going to sites that throw any sound at me that I haven't specifically clicked on to hear - worst than sites with flashing adverts all over the place.

I like this idea.

I'll go on record to say I would be more than happy to make a $10 donation for this sort of feature.
