O.P. RE: Suggestion rel. to Email Notifications
Well, there's a timeout. For being online when no movement has been tracked, I thinks it's 15min.
Well, when the user is officially offline notifications are sent as normally. I think it's OK that way. I you think it's not, you could store all unread replies, while the user is online, but not idle and delete them when a movement is tracked again (tracking movements is done anyway to keep the status as online, restarting the 15m timer). Otherways if there's no other movement after 15 minutes, the bunch of links are automatically sent to the user (There's no need to quote the content of the posts). Just as:
Before being automatically set to offline, after 15 minutes of inactivity, next posts were written in the forums/threads you are subscribed to:
http:/...
If you think it's overkill, the easy way may be ok too for some people (I can understand doing the tracking thing is maybe overkill and a lot of work). But anyway I think a lot of people would appreciate this option, prcincipally those who stay for hours logged in and have the Latest Posts refreshing constantly...
