    Hi I was wondering if it was possible to get alerts for all new threadmark. As of now I only get alerts for big updates, but not the small ones. Ex. I am watching the quest Child of iron, the author is recently sick so only uploads interludes, the interludes are small so they don't trigger an alert.

    The limit at present is 500 words.

    It'd be up to the admins such as alethiophile or ultima333 to lower that to whatever... I mean the limitation was originally meant to have it so that not all random OP posts would trigger notifications. So... erm...

    Isn't possible to seperate threadmark notifications to normal alerts? That way even if the op posted a threadmarked post less than 500 it would still get pinged but not otherwise?

    That's... not doable.

    But you could play around with the alerts setting... so that you could get e-mails from your alerts and such... or alternatively, you could set your watch to alert you whenever the thread gets a post... but that requires for you to view the thread before it sends new alerts.

    And it'd send alerts whenever anyone posts in it.

    I assume the current forum software doesn't support "New Threadmark" pages like SB, SV, or AH have?
