I am always around, but never seen. I am often avoided, but you can't out run me. for I will come when you're old and grey, or maybe even the very next day. I will come with cold embrace, and give you rest with a chilled kiss on your face. I come in many forms of emotional state, whether it's irony, love, laughter, or hate. I am everyone's final fate.
They are delayed and disappear too fast. Not to mention it tells me when someone comments on a thread, I don't want to know that. I just want to know if I'm quoted.
Is there a setting for this? Is there a way to look back at the notifications I've received?

Go up to "Profile" on the nav menu. Select "Updated Topics".

Notifications are pulled from that list, so that is your notification page. Unfortunately, SMF has no reliable way of determining whether or not someone quoted you, so that feature cannot be added. If you have too many notifications popping up, go into Updated Topics and mark all as read. That'll clear them out.

Couldn't you just have it send us a little message every time our name is mentioned? I understand some people may get false notifications (yours would come up if we're talking about Gasai playing card games, for instance), but you could have an option to just turn if off if people get annoyed.

That's a huge reason why I don't code something like that. The system we have now works, but I'll keep my eye out for something better; for now it'll have to stay.

We knew the world would not be the same.
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita.
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty
and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
"Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.."
I suppose we all thought that one way or another.

Or you could just disable the notification system all together and tell people to use Updated Topics. The notifications are definitely buggy as fuck.
