I'm already fair-to-middlin' buried in emails from you guys (my own fault, I know). Probably more work than you were looking for, but is there a way you could code, like, an "alerts console?" Just a basic one-line hypertext window I could find from my page that would show me all the stuff that I might have created alerts for (such as replies to my posts, shout-outs, people using tags I follow, etc)?

Would that be that much more work? Because for some reason I think I'd prefer to have it at a remove.

It's a good idea.

Our current settings page is ridiculous for a very weird reason. In news.arc, Paul Graham was crazy efficient with how those variables are presented and updated. Its basically a Gordian knot that we always found reasons to avoid untying. Starting fresh there is a joy.

EDIT: BTW, I do not want to do the same for usernames. As we discussed a few weeks back, tags have the comparative disadvantage of not being advertised in comments. This might help strike a better balance.
