Push notifications. Gosh. I try to turn these off, unless it's an app that I need to have. For example: I have an app for a local restuarant (I made this app lol) and on wednesdays they have a special offer - which I like to get, but I do not want to go to the restaurant to find out what it is - so they send out push notifications and i can see at a glance if I want to order it.
With the forum, a push message will be kinda annoying for each reply to threads we are subbed to - it would be easier if push was notifications were disabled.
However the use of Push notifications can be quite interesting for islamicboard.
For example - some muslim organisation wants to advertise their hifz course - they will make a thread here but it will get buried in minutes - only reaching a few people.
But if you approached the org and said for a small fee you will send out the push to all who have downlaoded the app - that could work as it is actually advertising something that needs a higher hit ratio... and the Muslims with the app will find this beneficial because its not related to the forum but to their Islamic education from a recognised authority.
Just my two dirhams worth
