how about a link from the notifier back to this thread so that we can post comments/feature requests/bugs much easily.

Just click on "Check for Updates [v x.x.x.x]". 

btw, what does "Read Abridged Posts Only" mean?

You know DC Post Notifier works by checking and loading one of the DC forum RSS feeds (http://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?action=.xml;type=rss2;limit=10). The body text of an RSS feed (in this case, forum post text) is usually abridged (i.e. cut off after X number of characters) for bandwidth saving and readability. For example, "lanux128" -> "lanu...".

However, since the notifier is for DC geeks like you and me , there goes the option of "Read Abridged Posts Only". When it's unchecked, we get to read full-length forum posts ("lanux128") instead of abridged ones ("lanu..."). For me often I'm too lazy to open up a new browser window to "read the rest of the story", so I just go through everything in the notifier.

The option will not affect the idle bandwidth usage of the notifier, which consumes around max 2kb per minute when you set checking interval to every 15 seconds.

Maybe by allowing us experts to change the RSS feed the notifications are based on? (don't know if that would work)

Yes that won't be too hard. Lemme see what I can do. 

If you do this, would that mean that the popups would work with any smf forum's feed and not just DC's? (I know the extras would still be based on DC's forum)

How possible would it be to have more than 1 feed url? That way you could keep an eye on just the sections you want on DC's forum...or keep an eye on everything from DC and another smf forum.

(I am just thinking of ways this could be useful outside of DC and have a wider appeal.)

Maybe this is something you could think about for the pro version.

Check out the new notifier v1.1.6!

Every time a user posts on the forum, it displays poster and topic info so you don't have to open new browser window any more in order to view his profile .

Wordzilla: another feature request from me, how about a custom browser option? sometimes when i'm trouble-shooting someone else's PC, i'd load DCPostNotifier from my thumb drive and prefer links to be opened from portable Firefox.

this project has been dormant for some time.. any chances of reviving this to include some updated features? where is wordzilla anyway?

i wasn't aware of this.. what happened - hard-disk crash?

hmm.. that's very sad but i guess an RSS feed reader would be the next best alternative..
