    Ok, I have made a little extension that allows you to see when you get a notification from the Forums. The notification is both visual and audible. Also thinking about making another extension called:

    XiaopanSearch - search in your toolbar quickly :)

    In the Toolbar
    Clicking it with a left click will open your account alerts page, right click you have more options​

    On the bottom right

    Thinking about publishing this on the chrome webstore (only costs $5.00 for a developer account) but would like feedback to see if it works for you and also get some suggestions like:

    Visual appearance
    Different audio cue
    Description

    This would work amazingly on a Mac with Growl: http://growl.info/

    Visit:
    HTML:
    Select All
    chrome://extensions/
    Click developer mode (top right)
    Drag the .crx file (attached below) into the chrome://extensions/ window
    Then configure options. See the image below.

    Here are some alert options that you can choose from

    The benefits of having this is you do not have to check the Forums for a reply or someone mentioned something in your watched thread. E.g: Be researching hard or on Facebook and boom, you get an Alert right away :)

    This will work on any XenForo based forum, obviously you need to save the crx to zip, extract the contents and edit the files to suit your forum. This would be great if someone could develop a XenForo Addon for this.

    Most of the work was done from hawkfalcon at Bukkit:

    it works: just when you download, click it from the bar down the page (the downloaded file) and drop it like this:

    Amz as it checks for alerts at specific intervals it should keep you logged in for longer. You can logout but you must do it on the forums. :)
