Working as Intended Suggestion: immediate alert notifications

[Sniper]

Is it possible to have the alerts for notification pop up without refreshing? Or is that just a site thing that has to be lived with?

It does do that o.o

Wtf I be afk on forums with no alerts and then I refresh and see like 3 alerts

For me, it doesn't always happen immediately.

But it does show up as (1) or however many numbers on the tab

is there a limit to when it happens? Cause for this one i had it on the home page, refreshed, and i can see that your post was done a minute ago

I haven't really noticed a pattern or anything. Sometimes it happens a bit later, sometimes pretty close to the post. It tends to vary

i always have to refresh. normally i just click the banner but it is kinda annoying ngl

Just to add to this - once emails are fully functioning, it will be possible to have immediate email alerts. For me, I have my email linked to my phone so if I do get a notification, it notifies my phone immediately.
