Forum's platform engine is abysmal!

I agree. There really should be a system in place for when someone replies directly to your post or quotes you. A visual notification somewhere easily accessible. I understand that there is potential abuse of this feature but I think its worth having.

How it would be abused? This is kind of a 'default' feature for almost every modern Forums-esque platform out there. Getting easy to see notifications just let you be more active in whatever you're participating.

I depends on how its handled. If the notification is based on who quotes you, there could be instances of people intentionally quoting you multiple times to fill your notifications arbitrarily.

That honestly can happen in any platform. Usually you can silence users trolling like this.

I went throuh my profile page to check my posts so I could access the threads more easily... That page literally took 43 seconds to load.

Not on those without a notification system at all.
