Hello, i've noticed that whenever a new answer has been added for the user, there's no easy way for the user to easily notice that actually there's something new on their accout.

I suppose that once someone comments on a user's question or they receive an answer, other than the optional email notification, the My updates link should atleast change color and show the number of notifications perhaps in a color like red or blue. This makes it more noticiable and visible to the user.

Thanks

Yes, i've done that, but still i can't see any changes!! Has been working for you? What's your setup?

Check >Admin >Plugins if plugin is listed.

Have you followed all installation instructions?
Check if there is the table qa_eventlogger in your database.

Use the URL: http://www.YOURSITE.COM/user/USERNAME?tab=history if this site exists the plugin is working.

Good luck. Kai

Thanks, but it's still not working.
The qa_eventlogger table exists and the system is even writing data to it. The plugin exists under plugin. But let me struggle with it. thanks again.
