I was wondering about the the new chat and why there is no notification of new threads.

Is there a specific reason for not including it in the new chat?

Because that was one of the only reasons I used chat. I basically only use the recent reply page because that is the best way of finding new threads however there was nothing better and fresher than the alert and I really miss it.

Could the ATS powers that be please bring it back?

as far as i remember skeptic said that the alerts feature was difficult to impliment with the java, and thats why its not in...i think lol

Also the in chat alert was great because we could discuss threads in real time.
