Full implementation of push notifications

I do get push notifications from DU for current event updates, but not for things like responses to my posts. Ideally any time the My Stuff button is flashing yellow, a corresponding push notification should go out. Is this planned or perhaps a work in progress? Or perhaps I missed a setting somewhere?

Currently the push notification system can only be used to send general notifications, but one of the reasons I was interested in setting up push notifications in the first place is that technically they can be used to notify for things like replies or DU mail.

However, making that happen is not a simple process and it will have to be a separate project all of its own. It's on our list of things to look at post-DU4 launch.

I monitor threads across a variety of forums, and having the push notifications appear in the Windows Notification Center is very helpful. Email notifications for that are a bit too intrusive.
