MyAlerts is a notification system inspired by those found within XenForo and Invision power Board. It notifies your members of certain actions relating to their accounts occurring around the forum with a small alert in the header.
MyAlerts can also be easily extended by other plugin authors wishing to hook into the plugin to add alerts for actions happening within their own plugin. For more details on this, see the developers documentation.
MyAlerts also allows both administrators and users to choose exactly which alerts to receive so your users don't get bogged down by useless alerts they're not interested in and bigger board owners can disable more intensive alert types such as quote alerts.
MyAlerts by default uses jQuery to perform all it's JavaScript operations but a Prototype version of the JS is included. For more details on this, see here: jQuery or Prototype?.
MyAlerts also requires PluginLibrary version 9 or newer. This useful pack of functions can be obtained here.
Due to the size and complexity of this plugin there are most likely still a few bugs I've simply forgotten about. It's been in development for a long time and it's been hard to keep track of all the issues.
I'd love if people could report bugs here if possible.
