Great post @cicbar

I think that alerts for getting a mention would be good. For instance I linked someone else's active post to one of my own but then had to let them know about it on an older thread.

An alert for receiving and upvote on one of your comments on somebody else's post.

How about pinning a users introductory post to the top of their page. If ever I'm interacting with a new friend and I want to get a quick overview I need to scroll all the way down to the bottom of their page.

I agree with all your suggestions though.

Cheers, Gaz.
