Another forum I post at gives you a notification on your profile every time you get quoted, and also if somebody likes your post (obviously we don't have likes in CW).

It's pretty useful, as sometimes you post in quite a few threads and then lose track, so it'd be good to be notified if someone is replying to you.

Is this something CW might have the potential to introduce when vBulletin is upgraded? And I guess the other question is would people want it anyway.

I've always thought that would be a useful feature. I don't know if the upgraded site could support such a thing, but my vote would be a yes. :)

Interesting idea there GIMH. Does that other forum you're referring to use vbulletin?

Do others want to see a like system on posts, and the notification idea?

No sorry, should have mentioned its on Proboards.

The notifications sounds handy but not the likes.
The likes are okay actually. Just a handy way of avoiding 'AWTA' or 'this' posts. Plus this forum (as in the one with notifications not CW) once had a karma system which is similar to likes but the fact that likes aren't totalled makes it much less open to abuse and pissing contests.

Nonetheless I'm not proposing likes, but the quote thing is definitely useful. Even more so for casual visitors who only post every 2-3 days I'd have thought.

It appears that likes can only be given on the desktop version

I'm gonna go back and retrospectively like all of grecians posts
