Remix Notifications

The notification system on scratch currently tells you about comments, replies and friends and is a very useful feature but i was thinking it would be nice to be notified when someone remixes one of your projects.  I know you can see all the remixes via each project but i still think it would be nice to know when another remix has been made so you can go and investigate the changes that have been made.
what do other people think?

Re: Remix Notifications

That is a good idea. It would be nice to be notified when a project of yours was remixed.

Re: Remix Notifications

I agree. Maybe you should also be notified of love-its and favourites.

Re: Remix Notifications

No, not faves and love-its. We would have 1000's of messages. The remix idea is cool. Sure those front page remixable projects will give you a nightmare of messages, but It would also help with other projects. PixBites 2.0 for example. I found out a while ago that there were 7 remixes, but I didn't know about them.

Maybe just favorites then? Both remixes and favorites would be nice, although remixes might become a pain for people whose projects are constantly being copied.

Well, maybe it could be turned off. Also, I think you should be able to turn off messages about friends and replies. Well, the friends give me false alerts.
