Notification Sounds

[Saya]

This is discussion regarding the notifications you get on the forum (such as mentions, quotes, etc). It updates live by checking every x seconds to see whether you have a new notification.

I'm wondering how many people are keen on me implementing a sound (like a beep or something) to signal that you got a new notification. I definitely think this could be an open discussion with fair number of people for and against, so please feel free to speak up and vote.

i like the idea, sometimes i lose myself with chats and this is perfect for keeping with the forum

I don't mind as long as there are options to turn off the features in the user CP.
This goes for all the current ones such as highlighted ship names.

As long as you can turn it off, without that option I highly oppose the idea.

I'd say indifferent... As long as there is a function to turn it off if you want I don't think there's a real reason why anyone should be against it °°

That's interesting.
Though it would be wise to add the option to mute the sound, for the case when we don't want to be annoyed with it (such a watching a video for exemple)

I like the idea. But please make it so that you can turn it off when you want.
Also now if you click on the cross to close the new mentions/quotes, when you refresh/change thread they come back, I don't know if that's supposed to happen or not. If that would cause the sound to reappear, that would make me go mental.

What sort of a load would notification sounds introduce to the server? That aside, I'd kinda rather not, but if it can be disabled, then I'm fine with others having it.

Not a big deal.

Basically this.
