PT_

Hopefully this is the right place to post a bug/feature. I've had it several times that I'm looking/chatting at wIRC, and then someone posts in (for example) in my AoCE thread. Then I get an email because I turned that on, but that is pretty annoying since I'm just looking at the chat and thus see it 'live' happening.

p2

so a feature request for the mail notification only being activated when ur not online at the time it happens? :)
I'm not sure if that will be easy... :/

@PT_ that would probably be difficult to alter, but maybe if someone with the PHP knowledge knows how to implement such feature then it could be added. It would probably have to check who is online everytime someone posts, so that people who have last clicked somewhere on the site in the last 10 minutes or so won't receive the e-mail notification.

Yeah we discussed the theoretical possibility of this in WIRC yesterday, where you could buffer the email for like 5min and if the user visits that topic then the email notification would get purged. Every x min would run a cronjob to send out email tasks older than 5min.

Would that be server-intensive, though, if many users are online?

If written correctly it shouldn't

checking every 15 minutes it would be 96 updates per day, for each of the users with activated mail notifications, which should be about 20% of the ACTIVE users I guess.
sooo indeed the load will be a minimum :)

That isn't how the check would work, it would propagate through the notification queue, so actually even fewer / actually more dependent on posting activity (and how many people set to be notified on replies etc.) than on traffic

Yeah my main concern was if there were like 1000+ checkups to do every minute or so

I updated the zero-post welcome message so that the notice about posting external links is more visible and explain how to circumvent the anti-link spam. I noticed that several legit users sign up an account, seemingly interested, only to never post, and I suspect that it's because their first post contains a Youtube link or an external download link, and when they get an error, they simply walk away from the site. CodeWalrus is setup so that members with zero posts cannot post http/https links nor use the URL tag, because this was the only way to prevent spambots from posting, but we are perfectly fine if legit users circumvent this protection to post links (they basically have to change http to hxxp or something, post their message with a non-working link, then edit it with a working URL afterwards)

If that method still doesn't work, then I might simply disable the URL anti-spam at the cost of getting spambots again, just so that we don't lose members.
