Well, one thing I really like about social media websites and my phone, is it tells me when I have an alert by playing a little tune. Forum Developers, is it possible to do the same, play a little sound whenever we have an alert?
As much as I afk here, noise alerts would bother me. I prefer to take a break from playing on ECC, come here, see what's waiting in my alerts, deal with those as needed, and then hang out and comment on things. Responding instantly isn't on my priority list here, nor would I think it be on the Dev team's. This isn't a place where you should expect to get an instant response, but it is a place you should check a few times a day.
True, not everybody wastes their life on here, but when I can't be on the actual server, I like to be on here so I can stay updated. Maybe like a small little ding, like the sound of leveling up to a multiple of 5 on Minecraft, that sound. I see where you come from though.
Annoying noices, and it can cause problems with coding (I don't know anything about this kind of stuff) or make other things don't work. it can also take much time to add and keep it working in general. I also don't think we need it. Sound effects are there if you need to reply fast or need to give it your attention immediately. I have never been in a situation where I would need a sound effect to actually see that i have gotten an alert.
Okay, Well what about having a number appear on the tab for when there's an alert. No noise, but still something that tells you of an alert when you're on another page.
