Suggestion: You've got a comment!

Don't be so quick to underestimate what some of our admins can do, Fushigi. xD

& To this entire thread:

I'll check the appropriate files and see if it's something we could easily do. :] I agree that it'd be a nice feature to have.

and

Cookies are too volatile, notifications could be lost too easily that way. They're stored entirely in the database, with PHP used to actually grab and display the notifications (like everything else on the board.)

The thing I have to look for when I check to see if this is something we can do is to look at the blog files, find where the new comments are handled, and look for hooks in the surrounding code that could be used to run a query every time a comment is added, adding a notification at the same time.

Parsing the fact that there's a new notification and displaying it is the easy part, we've already added plugins that do that for other features (most of it still in development though). The tough part is just making sure the code has the right hooks to add the notification.

This has been brought up plenty of times before, and it IS possible with the right plugin. The downfall is that said plugin would have to be completely custom-made by Audy, and some others who knew what they were doing. That's about as good of an answer as this thread is gonna get, unless Audy can post and confirm a definite "Yes we can" or "No we can't". This feature in general seems like something that gets pushed off to the side, whether it's possible, or not.
