5. 
6. 

v.6.1 - About to be released

v.6.2
Delay in editior screen. This can be resolved. There is no need for the request to conflict with the editor. I had this done for similar addons.


7.0 - Rough Draft of dev. (Re-write before dev)
-why you don't make enhancement on tagging system, to be like what FB has, with drop-down Ajax list of users during you typing the name, and don't show @ before the name it self and make the name linked to his profile.
-Being able to update the user avatar from the profile dropdown is great. It would be helpful if there text or some indicator that informs the user. If you don't know the features exists it may go unrecognized and unused by some users.
-Thumbs up notifications
-Emails for notifications, weekly, monthly, daily - similar to facebooks.

1. Notifications through IM (XMPP/IM gateway).
   Adding more notification methods will increase the impact of vbsocial to draw members to the site.
2. Notifications through PUSH mobile apps
3. Notifications through browser addons
4. Notification grid similar to facebook and IPB, to allow users to select for which events they want to be notified and by which methods (on site, email, IM, Mobile, browser). Adding a notification grid will allow users to set which notifications they find important and give them control.

-pm integrations (merge)

-Fixed header or fluid. Complete redesign to work with all headers.

-vb3, vb4,vb5 compatibility.
-*bug*When I click on the star on my website it says I have 2 visitor messages we need approving, however I approved these earlier. (moderation fails to update)

-*bug* Not getting highlighted notifications for new items in moderation

-Complete Built in Like System. Add like me button inside per post or per thread. Users get a notification that shows up in their notifications. (Not a third part mod)

*bug* It should say Dave and 10 others have liked "Thread title" if more than one like on thread. Likes should also accumulate on thread as it does like Facebook. So where like button is "You and 3 other people liked this" Click on "3" other will open a pop-up like facebook's to view and scroll down users and images.

This is my idea:

Notify.jpg

I hope in the future possible

[daveaite]

I like it and yes it may be part of a future version. However some users might not want notifications for each one separately.

I understand!
But having only a notification to all actions has disadvantages!

My users have as many notifications by being quoted in messages and new messages who already don't take you importance. and many times within notifications have a private message and do not realize, for that is mixed into the notifications.
that is why it is important to separate them. as to the come to a big number. users end up by not paying attention to the notices and often lose important private messages.

I have enabled many notifications but many of my users and in other forums are bothered by visiting each new message and I like to desaparesca the notification.

then they end up by not paying attention. This is why that many systems separate. for example: facebook, taringa, etc.

I hope to understand my point of view. at least include the possibility of choosing separate them or join them.
Thank you.

I had planned commissioning the construction of this product to my community in the near future. that is not a crazy idea, I did a study and analysis and consultations with my members, which all support my idea.
but now already he reveals to you xD. I hope possible ever.

My wishes to public image in the vbulletin.org forum to see the opinions of the users. However I believe the image and idea especially for forum-skins.

He sent to PM image of higher quality.
I thing traslate to the Spanish xd

[daveaite]

Its' okay, the translation was pretty good, and I understand what your saying.

The main issue with showing private messages on a separate one is that you would get 2 notificiations ,1 from the default notification system, and 1 from ours. Unless, We removed vBulletin's default notification system, but we're not sure its' a good idea to replace the entire vBulletin notification. It may not be optimal to have duplicate notifications.

It is true
but I mean to keep it similar to the attached image.

in other words: the notification of his own to the left of "Welcome" should remove it.
make simple changes to the default notification in vbulletin and pass by the icon of "image of the world" (which would be the default notification in vbulletin for the rest of future notifications).
And only would find ways to extract or separate the rest of the vbulletin default notifications that are sent only to the other 3 icons respectively and have no notifications double or replicated.

The idea is simple to "separate notifications" also could be reduced to only 3 notifications. (joining two notifications of the environment).

Separate notification icons for messages and comments

Notification icon for friend requests.
