Each smile has a special sound effect that plays when posted on the forum in real time in your browser. Doesn't if its in the thread you have open. It'll play if anyone's used it anywhere on the forums.

can this instead somehow be done in a table in an MS word document?

at a job i once had we had a weekly status tracking system that was an excel document in a shared folder and each person in the division (of 50+) had a 5 minute meeting on their calendar that was their time slot to open, edit, and save the tracking spreadsheet

this was in the 2010s

this is good, could like use triggers to send a pub/sub notification when someone adds a post to a table you're watching. could have each thread be it's own table to make that easier
