Thank you for your plugin
Thanks!

I just installed this plugin. Thanks for solving this problem!
Often my visitors are expecting to hear from me directly, so I need notifications to help me remember to check for any pending (hidden) topics. I am hopeful that this plugin will help me know when my visitors are trying to communicate with me using the forums.
I also would like to get a notification on the WordPress admin back-end of the site whenever there is a pending (hidden) topic, or a new topic I have not yet viewed. Is this a feature that could be added?

there’s this plugin, and it’s free, and it works. You can’t say that about much these days. Thank you to the developers for the time and work they’ve put into this.
