I don't use them because I generally just put threads on my watchlist, and then I will just look through new messages at times that I choose.
Maybe my use of the word "criticize" is too strong. There was a thread that was created about me, and members thought that I should have known about it because it was presumed that most longer term WO members would be using some kind of a notification for when their name was mentioned.
What is WO members, is this some kind of group. I also hit watch button on this thread but first it took me a while to find my watchlist (like how can i access it) then even i find the watchlist option which was right in front of my face, i opened it and this thread didn't showed there. Like it is not showing in the watchlist even i have click on the watch option. But thanks for the heads up, i will dig more into this matter.
Sometimes members do not respond to questions and/or requests.
I just did a quick look and I see that
this thread by TryNinja has several notification features (a bot?) that are described. It is a long thread, but the beginning (OP) post seems to have some good descriptions of the various kinds of notifications that members are able to receive.
Also, I am pretty sure that
fillippone has a thread that he created about notifications that come up on a smart watch, and he may well be using the TryNinja bot features in order to enable those kinds of notifications.
This TryNinja tool is a best i think, from what i have observed by just reading the OP post, i think this tool will be handier than the watchlist option. Thanks a lot dear for helping me here. I think this Ninja's tool will do the work fine.
