I havn't spoken to this about anyone yet, but i've had a genius (to me (much like EVERY idea i have)) idea.

Well i only havn't spoken to anyone about this because A. I don't know who to talk to about it, B. im not that well known in the P2S community, and C. i'm technically only new, being a member for only a month, maybe less, and i cant be bothered checking. ;)

Anyway, my super genius idea... I was thinking... You know how you get Tab/Taskbar alerts when you gain/lose points/merits, etc?

The odd times I have been talking to people in the shoutbox, I have had other tabs open Le Book of Face (facebook to normal people) for example, and i have missed the message that i was mentioned in... So I was wondering, would it be a good or bad idea to have a "thing" that alerted you on your tab or task bad as to when you've been mentioned in a comment, like it flashes... Much like the facebook thing, really?

Thanks for the time of reading this, it's much apprectiated, along with all the feedback I may or May not get... :)
Cheers, Ryan.

This isn't a bad idea. However, the shout-box currently alerts the person (with the yellow box thing) if 3 letters from the persons name are used.

If this current system is the way it's going to be people would get allerted every few seconds :p Especially some of the names of people here....

so I'm not really sure how it would work =\

So how about it only works IF your full name has been "tagged"... For example, when you double click their shoutbox name... That seems more practical?
