Notifications when your project is featured

It would be useful if you could get a message telling you if your project has been put into any columns on the first page because you may not notice otherwise.

Re: Notifications when your project is featured

I believe projects are added to a "featured" gallery, so there's no point.

Re: Notifications when your project is featured

There isn't a gallery where the featured projects go accually. I've been featured and I didn't get a message of being added to a featured gallery. I think it's a good idea because the only way you could tell would be to look on the front page.

Good suggestion!  big_smile

Re: Notifications when your project is featured

Most of the time, somebody will leave a comment such as "Congratulation! You're Featured" !  or "Top Loved!" but I agree it would be nice if the system sent you something too...just in case nobody did  smile

Re: Notifications when your project is featured

Maybe there could be a notification for other things like being selected by a curator?

Re: Notifications when your project is featured

But you'll see yourself on the frontpage anyway.  hmm

Unless you skip straight to the forums... but in that case the user probably doesn't make any projects.  tongue

Featured, Top Loved, Top Viewed, Top Remixed, all should send notifications.

And a notification could get buried. When I got featured, I got 67 messages - I deleted them all at once, rather than reading them through and deleting them individually. That way I would have missed my notification - but I knew anyway.

BUT there's a problem.

Featured is the main priority section (if you're eligible for more than one front page section including featured that's not friend's, you will be featured). So would you get a notice about top viewed if you got 1000 views from a 1 day old project that's featured? Same with top loved. And then what about when you have more than one project that can be front paged?

Yes (unless there's a restriction that doesn't let featured projects go to top viewed - not sure).

You get both messages, unless there's a restriction like I said above.

Only one project by a person can be on the front page at the same time, so there is a restriction.

Why did you delete them all at once without reading them? That's a bit mean...  tongue

Re: Notifications when your project is featured

when my ultra graph creator (check it out) was featured, i think i first noticed it when i realized i had 47 comments on it.  i think that serves as a notification in in of itself.

Then you get the notification for whatever you get first. Simple.

Re: Notifications when your project is featured

Going off the one time I had a project featured.. If you're a Scratcher that doesn't get many messages, then logging in to find an inbox of 60-70+ overnight should be enough to let you know your project is on the front page..  smile  It would still be interesting to have a feature like that though.
