Thanks Ziksy, that's very similar info to me. except my linkify version is 3.1.8.57, hopefully when your extensions update it'll be back to normal

Could there be a notification if someone has posted in a thread that is within your forum profile? Say I posted in the HLF General Lounge, and I want to catch up on newer posts. Could Linkify make a notification that I can see that someone else posted?
Benefits I can see is that it doesn't require as much attention as just refreshing/checking back at a much later time. Only downsides I can think of is if it's too much effort for little gain and performance issues on computer side.
Thanks!
EDIT: I kind of missed it on the front page oops, but still, I'm wondering if it's still a possibility nowadays.
I had kind of dropped this idea, had similar questions in the past. But I have been thinking about it again after reading your post.
I really don't want to do periodic automated requests to check the states of threads and such. But I might be able to strike a happy compromise.
I could highlight the threads in our profile that have new posts. At least viewing that page will give an overview of the status of all threads.
Some limitations: I can't tell how many new posts were made or who made the last post. Also the link to last post has been broken since the the forum re-skin, but that's easy to fix.
Some other things I might be able to do is provide a link to where you last left off (need to think about that some more). Also when viewing anyone's profile that contains threads common to your profile, the appropriate threads would also be highlighted.
Anyway that's just what came to mind after reading your post, I need to think about it some more. I know this is far removed from notifications, but it could be a big improvement to the forum profile.
Thoughts or questions are welcomed from all, the profile needs some love
