I rarely ever check the support request thread here on the forums, but would love to help out others who may be nearby and need some help. My question is whether or not the app displays those support notifications. If not, could it be made to do so? Ideally I'd like to be able to select part of the map near me and receive notifications for anyone inside that area.
Cheers!

When a member creates a support alert for assistance the app autoimaticly sends out a message to the closest 50 members. What I am working on is a way to filter the alert so that members in a region can get it if they opt in. FYI, this is on my list but other app upgrades have more priority.

Our mod team monitors the support alert page to make sure the alert has been sent out. One issue we have is people put a request on the page and not create an actual alert. This is also on my list to make easier.
