It depends on user criteria, and user criteria doesn't have an options for alerts so the answer is no, unless you have a custom add-on!
Bummer. Well, thank you for the super fast response.It depends on user criteria, and user criteria doesn't have an options for alerts so the answer is no, unless you have a custom add-on!

Bummer. Well, thank you for the super fast response.
No problem bro, and btw i recommend you to use this add-on for pop-up notifications: GoodForNothing Notification
I'm using it and it's really awesome.
Thanks! I'll give that a try.

Where can I download updates?
They are emailed to you when they are released.
They may be received by a service named "FetchApp". Search for emails from "notifications@fetchapp.com". Any email you have should have a link that will allow you to download the latest version.

Love it and all your work is fantastic. But I do notice that the JS loads on every page, regardless of whether there is a notification. Assuming it must load, for some reason the JS files take much longer than any other asset to load. Might be an anomaly but I've turned it off for now more because I'm not using it as much as I thought. (Have way too much going on with my pages already, lol, but perhaps we'll revisit.)

Hi Chris
Now that much of the Notifications features have been built into the XenForo core software in XenForo 1.5, I wondered if you have any plans to update this at some point so that it integrates with Notices and just adds the 'missing' features to it, or whether Notifications will remain pretty much as it is?

There are several things this add-on will do that aren't in the core, some of which are :
- Manage notifications from the front end as well as ACP(so moderators can use it)
- Additional 'phrases' to use in messages such as {birthdays}
- Temporary dismissal of notices (cookie-based) which can be useful for recurring notifications that you don't want permanently dismissed
- Rich texteditor for use in creating notifications (No need to type in HTML)
There are several differences, including front end management of notifications, plus several options related to the display of notifications.
I have begun work on a version of Notifications (1.9) that requires minimum XF 1.5, and builds upon the floating notices concept in XF 1.5 and adds, basically the features Martok mentions above, to XF 1.5 floating notices.
There's no ETA for this currently.

Feature Summary
In 2012 I released the Notifications add-on which proved to be very popular and ultimately inspired some of the new features added to Notices for XenForo 1.5. Not all of the features from Notifications could be added and this sadly left some people who were unable to move their Notifications to the new floating notices of XenForo 1.5.
Xen Notices aims to bridge this gap. The best of the remaining features from Notifications (and one or two more) have now been brought over to XenForo.
Upgrading to Xen Notices from Notifications
Xen Notices is a completely new add-on, therefore it can be installed side-by-side the Notifications add-on. No data is transferred between them so your existing notifications will need to be recreated as notices.
How to download Xen Notices
Xen Notices is completely free to existing Notifications users, but the distribution of the add-on is moving to Xen Resources. To claim your free Xen Notices licenses, you will need to register at Xen Resources, and click the "Claim License" button (just above the Add to Cart button).
You will need your FetchApp order number and the email address it was sent to. You will have been sent an email with these details a fairly large number of times. The email subject will be similar to "Downloads for Order 854450387174967" and the email will be sent from notifications@fetchapp.com.
Once you populate your order number and email address, the license will be automatically assigned to you. If you are unable to for whatever reason, then start a conversation with me with as many details as possible.
- Permission controlled management of notices on the front end
- Edit your notice content with a proper HTML editor, powered by Redactor
- Additional tokens for replacement inside notices including {board_url}, {board_title}, {page_title} and more
- Easy custom styling of floating notices using the XenForo colour picker
- Display a floating notice every day showing "Today's Birthdays"
- Automatic notice reset system. Allow your notices to be automatically reset every X (hours|days|weeks|months)

Xen Notices builds upon the new Notices features in XenForo 1.5 so it wouldn't work with XenForo 1.4 or earlier. You can continue to use the Notifications add-on though.
