I have a little survey for those of you who frequent these snitz forums. The reason for the survey is to help me decide whether or not to write a mod I had an idea for. I have a couple rules...
Rules:
- Only users who frequent the forum on a regular basis answer the questions
- Please answer the question directly, no side-tracking
- Dont request a mod here, this isnt a mod request thread
- Dont ask about the potential mod, if I want you to know, you'll know
Questions:
- What is your main method for navigating snitz?
- Active.asp only, on a set refresh rate (30 min or less)
- Active topics first, then browse forum by forum
- Browse forum by forum, then active.asp
- Only when I'm notified of a reply to a topic I subscribed
- Other (specify)
- How many times a day do you visit snitz?
- 0-2
- 2-4
- 4-6
- 6 or more
- you kidding? I sit at active.asp all day
- What duration of time are you usually on the snitz website, per visit?
- less than an hour
- 1-2 hours
- All day

For my support forums I built a dotnet app which notifies me when a new topic is posted and if I have any private messages. It enables me to respond immediately. It includes an rss reader and browser too. I hope to include support for "subscribed topics" at a later stage. Once I get the bugs worked out I hope to release it as a mod.
You suck!!! I finally get an idea and u already took it!!!.... just kidding, what Im thinking is in no way related to notification :P heh heh |

well, I was going to say that I use the RSS with Trillian which basically does the same thing.... but didn't want to go off topic.
I also use this on my forum and my techie-members seem to really like it. They use different readers, but that doesn't matter because of the XML file:

I have the paid-for version of Trillian which gives you access to plugins to do this. However, there are a lot of other RSS desktop integrated apps out there that provide similar services. I think HoverDesk is one of them and the Opera browser has one too, so I was told. I'll see what I can find on Google.
Update. Here is a free reader/notifier that I've used in the past:
