Audible Alert of PM Activity

Lunare
Lunare: I would like some way to be audibly alerted when I am PMed. Especially from certain users, but not so much others. Whether it's a site feature or browser extension doesn't matter much. Is there presently any way to have such an audible alert of PM activity? If not, someone please work on it, and let me know what you come up with?

CharlotteXainte: There's a Firefox extension for this, and it's also native in Microsoft Edge on Windows 10.

Lunare: How do I obtain the Firefox extension? What is its name?

CharlotteXainte: you need to search Mozilla extensions for notifications. I can't remember which one I used, as I no longer use Firefox for Wireclub. If you have Windows 10 try Microsoft Edge, and click "allow" when it asks if you want to allow notifications from this website. It works very well.

Lunare: I recently looked into Edge, but they didn't appear to release a version for Linux systems.

Searching on the Firefox add-ons page for the search term "notifications", 831 things come up, even after excluding themes and filtering to just extensions. I will try one, but let me know if the name comes to you?

CharlotteXainte: No, and I hadn't realized you were using Linux; Edge is strictly Windows native. I would first try the official mozilla extension which is, if i remember rightly, just called "notifications". I did find one that was very good but I can't recall which one. It won't hurt anything to try several and just disable/ remove the ones that don't behave how you would like.

Lunare: Okay, thanks! I will give that a shot.

Going a bit off-topic a moment: About Edge, I did notice that there were more versions at present than just the Windows version, so they are branching out somewhat! Versions exist for Android, and iOS, since three years ago, and Mac OS, just last year, which was news to me. So there might be more to come, in a year or two? Not much help in the meantime, but was nice to see it was no longer being totally locked in to Windows!

CharlotteXainte: I think Edge is borrowing code from Chrome now, so yes there may be some very useful cross platform versions coming.

CharlotteXainte: Search "Notification Sound 1.4.1". That should do what you want.

Lunare: Thanks for finding it! Unfortunately I hit an error in that add-on. Maybe the issue will be fixed in an upcoming version. I'll wait and see.
