Here's a crude mockup:

That could clutter quickly. I'd recommend a dropdown system, with only one line while unexpanded, if this system was implemented.

When you people say "dropdown" I think of the HTML element. You mean an expanding box. That I'm okay with.

I wouldn't say the terminology is that important in this case, but essentially, yes.

Will it really get all that cluttered? Whats the likelihood of someone getting more than eight or ten mentions/quotes in a single topic between two visits?

Hmm... That was unexpected. It certainly puts a wrinkle in the idea put forth so far. Such an idea needs to cater to all sorts of crowds.

How many of those notifications are relevant to you beyond simply "to be read"?

A thread-specific notifications menu would perhaps be beneficial if the number of notifications exceeds n, but until it reaches that point, then it would only be cluttering to have a menu. The size of n would of course be up for discussion, but even so, this would probably be semi-complex to code.

For now though, we'd think it would be easier to simply have the notifications stay just on the notifications page. But this idea is still worth discussing.

We suspected as much.

Perhaps it would be advisable to try to also get the people in said thread to use less @mentions, then? After all, if there is something that requires your attention there, it will be buried beneath the irrelevant @mentions and easily missed.

@Etcetera Yeah, like I said, when you can reply immediately after the post, the quote doesn't seem necessary. Obviously if 15 people are posting simultaneously, a quote would help.

Honestly, I'd prefer a system that puts quotes into an expandable box with a bit of a preview of the quote within the box.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera> I'd rather not, in turn - it often just means that I have more things I have to specifically click open to see. Scrolling is an action much easier done than clicking. Found them [collapsing quotes] annoying more often than not on other sites that use them...
