Title: System for alerts for important events
Post by: hadrian on June 06, 2014, 08:24:21 pm

Am I an idiot?
I completely failed to discover the fact the there was a distribution date at the end of May for FreeTrade's LottoShares until after the event.
The time I have to browse through forums and various websites is limited, so I didn't come across information relating to this.
I would hate to miss any further information about snapshots or DAC releases etc.

Is there a quick and convenient way to check for announcements which are pertinent for anyone holding AGS or PTS?

Ideally I would love to sign up to receive alerts for this kind of event.

Is there a good way to organize something foolproof for the community so that nobody misses anything?

I have asked our web team to figure out a prominent place to put real-time announcements.
