Well, it was an accident that I posted the item idea here so that was what popped into my head.
Actually thinking about it, I understand fully why it doesn't say that you own it. I wasn't thinking about the multiple items in the sets. Oops! Case closed. Sorry!

Not a biggie but at daycare maybe hide the knuffel that are on a max level or not show up the ones you have hidden from the knuffel tab.
It's tad annoying how I want to use the daycare and all 100's suddenly appear but it's nothing I couldn't live without.

I can't find if this has been posted already, but it sure would be nice if the forums had a sort of 'pinging' system that allowed you to be notified on the site if a user has mentioned you in a post!

Could be pop-up on the side as well

This is something essential if I ever hope to be active on a forum, I don't check my email like I used to back in the day and I'm usually too busy to refresh a thread over and over again to see if there's been a response. I'd definitely be more active if I knew that there was a system in place to alert me on the site when I've been replied to!

I'm here to second the request for a ping/notification system. It's an incredibly useful feature that I'd love to see on KofK. It would make it much easier to keep up with the forums.
I'd also love to see a header and footer option added. I know we have signatures which are essentially footers, but a header and footer section for coding our posts, so we wouldn't have to copy and paste every time would be super helpful.

Guys, aside from how cool it woul dbe to get that notification system, you know you can bookmark the threads and check the bookmarks every now and then, right? It's not that much tbh
If there's a new post in the thread, the icon will be yellow, that's all, you don't need to check your e-mails, just check your bookmarks/subscriptions in the My Account tab

While that is all well and good, we're no longer in 2009 and there are much better ways to be notified than going through this long process. This is a thread to request features that we'd like to be added and so that is what I've done. Yes, it is possible to still do it this way. Am I going to be active on the forum if I have to go through many steps just to see if I've been replied to? No.
Another thing about this method, is that there's no guarantee that you specifically have been replied to. It only lets you know that there's a new post. I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to checking every thread that I've ever responded to just in case someone has replied to me.

Hey, I just told you how you can check it now. In case you didn't notice, I supported your suggestion so no reason to be hostile. I don't force you to do it like you can atm, if you don't want to then don't. It's your choice. I'm just saying clicking a few times doesn't really take that much time, unless you have a ton of bookmarks/subscriptions (like me) that are ALL active ALL the time. And that never really happens. If you have let's say 3 bookmarks, you should be fine. It's not such a long process to click the tab, see there was a new post, click the link to it and see if you were answered. It takes maybe 10 seconds (unless you're checking a very active thread and you have to read back some).
Plus people don't always mention who they reply to (streak of just 2 people chatting for example - no point in writing the receiver's name), so you'd have to specifically ask every person you chat with to write your username every single time they reply to you. It's tedious if you ask me. And I don't know if you've noticed, but people shorten the names quite often, so you'd have to either make them write your full username each time, or starkad would have to make a system where you can add a rule to the notifications, like when a certain phrase is used by someone.
At least that's how I see it.
In any case implementing it would take time anyways. Starkad is a very busy person.
Whether the feature will be implemented at all is a whole different story.

While it's certainly not impossible to navigate KofK's forums and keep up with replies to your posts, it is rather difficult without a pinging and notification system. This is actually a very common feature on forum sites, so it's a bit odd it isn't already here. It would make it much easier to be active if it had a reminder that was as clear as the announcements, messages, and trades.
It's also possible to add in an auto-pinging feature for quotes and replies, if typing out a username is too tedious, though I consider the roundabout bookmarking method, while better than nothing, more tedious than typing @username.
