By the way, to summarize the issues I got with it:

-The icon is gone and now shows a bell icon instead of that variation of :walrii:
-It sometimes notifies of the wrong posts (it remains stuck behind and notifies of one particular post multiple times)
-No option to start it on startup. While we can do it by putting it in the start folder, it's not necessarily convenient for people who aren't tech-savy.
-Computer freezes during about 10-60 seconds when a massive post with about 30 large 1000x1000 images get posted, but that is a rare occurence since such kind of post is rare.

EDIT: For example, as I posted this it notified of 128x64 monochrome pictures instead.
OK, first, the bell is not a glitch. Just head over to the settings and choose any logo you want.
Second, yes I guess I made a misstake there and read the title of the lowest post on the unread stack. I will fix that.
Third, I dunno if I will implement that, but I will consider it cuz this is for Windows, Linux and Mac and I could only provide a Windows command.
About the last thing. I cannot do much but rewrite a big part of the display engine. If it is really not that often I could make an option to not show images.

You could always hide images unless the person clicks them or have them enabled by default.

Bug report:

The wrong post notifications are still there. Even though I just posted in "Your posting milestones", it showed a notification about a different topic.Could this be people editing their posts?

Well in the latest Version i changed the notifications to display only the first unread post, but reverted that in another commit.
About editing, I don't know. I haven't seen any reason for this not to work.
I will add some new features and look into that issue again.

Ok so it's definitively not editing. I posted in the gaming servers thread and it immediately reported a new post in the IRC goodbye thread. Except that I checked the latter thread and the last post edit was at least 40 minutes ago. Could it be that your notifier reports old posts as long as you didn't read them?

Well try download the new version, and see if it still persists.
Also it does only mark them unread after you opened the notifier application.

Hmm, should I make another button on the notification to mark all messages as read?

Nah, I don't always have time to read every post in one week. Maybe a direct linl to the post that is more visible?

Sure, but I can only mark all messages at once as read.
I have a "read until" variable, this is how all update sensing works.
If you would click that notification, it would mark all as read and start the webpage.

Sorry for the bump, but I am working on new functions such as showing the amount of unread messages in the taskbar.
How do you like this idea?

Also are there any other suggestions apart from the ones listed above?

Then it might be better that it is disabled by default, else some people might not be happy if they visit the forums after 1 month of hiatus, only to find out that everything is marked as read.

That would be nice as long as it's not too intrusive.

Something that would be cool is if we could see the recent posts list from your app.

Well it has obviously nothing to do with the actual unread posts in the forum, as you are not logged in.
The tool uses a anonymous API to retrieve the data.
After you close the notifier it forgets which posts are read and unread.

Well isn't the app basically showing the recent posts list?
Or what exactly do you mean?
