Hall of Famer
Our forum previously offered push notifications using a free service, but I removed that due to uncertainty about whether it was compliant with the GDPR.
Some members have been asking for an alternative option, so I've reinstalled an option to use the third party services Pushover and Pushbullet to get forum push notifications. However, this option will be limited to moderators and subscribing members only.
As of this time, Pushover costs $4.99 USD once, per-platform (iOS, Android, Desktop), to use on as many of your own devices on that platform as you want. There are no monthly or yearly fees and you can receive as many notifications as you want. In contrast, Pushbullet has both free and pay versions as explained here: Upgrade to Pro | Pushbullet
To set up push notifications, do the following:
1) Become a subscribing member if you are not already one.
2) Set up an account with either Pushover or Pushbullet. Personally, I use and recommend Pushover, and I signed up via their phone app.
3) Click on Push Notifications in the User CP:
4) Follow the instructions on the next page to associate Pushover or Pushbullet with your forum account. You can also customize which notifications you want to receive and what sound (if any) you want for push notifications.
