Vod suggested I made a service to either charge monthly or permanently, to notify email on topic notifications, so I am doing this.
Basically the script checks for your username on the patrol page, and if your username is mentioned (or any string), it can send an email to you to notify.

Keep in mind my suggestion has no monetary guarantee.  :)

I do think it's a good idea.

Of course, I am just testing the waters and seeing if people will be interested.

*the patrol page will only list posts either made or quoted by newbies. In order for this to work when users who are not newbies post your username, the script will need to check every new post

Ohhhhhh, maybe I have to go to unread replies, then check the latest post from each. Or is there something like patrol but for everyone?

The way I do his is by setting up a Google Alert for my username. I then have a script then that deletes alerts that happen whenever I make a new post.

Alerts can sometimes take a few days though.

I don't need the notifications from all of the boards, such as off topic, local etc. So I just set up the required board notifications under "Modify Profile> Notifications and Email ". Then once I get notification, my mobile phone will alert me.

Please allow an easy way to block a user or user group from notifying you.   I'd hate to be constantly hit with spam from a butt hurt scammer.

Hmm I don't know how I would do this. With the html DOM, I would have to accept that the username is there, and then look for the username that posted it in the ID. It would be very laggy.

Just use the Recent Posts (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=recent) page. Didn't even knew "patrol" page existed :D Seems a bit redundant when Recent page exists.

If the number of users start to use your "script", will there be any long delay in notifying users? What is the current delay now from mentioning to a sent email.
