| Wow, I cannot remember this forum ever being this quiet. Nobody has hackers/spammers, nobody has any other problems, nobody has any mods they want developed. Either everyone quit running forums, they are all on vacation, or Snitz has finally become absolutely perfect. |

| I check in every day. I truly want to implement the mod package you designed, Carefree, but I'm skeered ... My forum is so modded ... even within the mods in some cases. I'm afraid I'll have a mess on my hands. Last I checked, the package was in it's 2nd beta phase? I will probably venture into the unknown one of these days. There are a lot of reasons I want it ... ease of turning mods on and off, latest code, and it helps me get rid of some mods I no longer use in my forums. |

| I am still finding and fixing occasional bugs in it, Rich. No dedicated beta testers, as far as I know. I had it online for awhile for certain testers to use one of our servers, but during my last 120 days in cardiac care, everything was shut down. I'll replace the copy on Google drive some day soon. |

Hard to help develop it without an idea of the goals.... |

Same. No purple thingys. HuwR soon lay us off. Will have to find another way to support my family of gadgets. |

Goals you say? 
ok, here's what I have as an idea (so far)
Something like this appears in the header when a member comes on and has replies to their posts:
AND when they click on this there will be a page listing said posts.
Also some sort of way to either eliminate them when read and opened, OR the drop down list for time frames, or both.
I also thought of trying to shoehorn a way for replying to OTHER replies by member name and have a REPLIES to you gif as well. NOT threaded replies, just a ticker for the replies gif and list of replies (with jump to, of course)
WAY over my pay grade to create the db files, cookies, etc. and make it all work, but it would be nice AND is a number #1 reason people leave my site over the years. They say it's hard to follow....
I have attempted to use other pages and customize for this but I keep getting stuck and quit.
Imagine that lol |

OK, color me confused. "Posts to you"? How would someone get posts addressed to him/her? Replies to posts someone has made, that's easy. Creating a quantity counter and/or a scrolling ticker with topic titles linked to the posts, no problem. Eliminating read topics from the ticker, again, no problem.

Replies to someone's posts WOULD be the posts to you... (calling replies or add on comments as posts)
Dedicated REPLIES to a person by name is the rub... lol
I'd do ok with replies to a poster and forget the rest without much provocation...
but it all does explain why I've put it off for a Looooong time |

I check in frequently but it has been very quiet of late
If you're bored Carefree you could always look at the 'Like' mod that several people have asked for

See the FAO Forum mod, that's what it's for. How about private messaging? Wouldn't that handle dedicated "posts to you"? You might also consider the "monitor subjects" mod. It wouldn't be limited to a single forum (like the FAO mod), but could be modified to work off user names in any topic/reply subject line and incorporated into this. |

Yea, I've looked into both but dropped it after confusing myself real well on how to do it all and not be private.
Thanks anyway.. I can live with the way this is another 10 years or so and do fine. |

Every time these kind of posts are posted (nothing to do, where is everyone?, oh so quiet), it always end up with persons giving Carefree something to do. lol Instead of persons just posting what they have been up to.  hehehe |
