I have no idea how to call that, but it's a feature in Facebook which I think could be interesting in Novel Updates. x is a variable number In the main site, the x could be how much chapters of novels you're following has been updated. In the forums, basically the Alerts but on the thumbnail. I'm not always on the same thumbnail so I would like to know when certain releases drop or I get an alert.
So your saying something like the forum notification up top where it tells you when someone's replied to your in a quote or thread? So say.. You have 5 novels that update that day you would be notified you had 5 updates you missed while you were away? (I know you said chapters but I feel like with people who do mass releases and it shows as something like 90-102) it would be a bit weird.
wow that's sound convenient so we who have many lists on our Reading List don't need to re-check what we left/ don't notice, even tho there is a color to differentiate it it's still a bit inconvenient for ones who busy for a few days
That does sound awesome and actually easy to implement on the main site. I will probably add it to your profile as an option As for this forum, I'm not used to it yet so I will need more time to play with it.
