Notifications
ImgLink notifications keep you in the loop. Whenever someone interacts with your content - liking an image, following your profile, or sending you a message - you'll see a notification in your dashboard.
Types of Notifications
Like Notifications
When someone hearts one of your images, you'll get a notification showing:
- Who liked your image (clickable username that links to their profile)
- Which image was liked (clickable thumbnail)
- When it happened
Follow Notifications
When a new user follows your profile, you'll see:
- Who followed you (clickable username)
- When they followed
You can click their username to visit their User Profiles and follow them back if you like their content.
Message Notifications
When someone sends you a direct message, you'll see:
- Who sent the message (clickable username)
- A preview of the message content
- A link to open the full conversation in your Messages & Inbox
Upload Notifications
When someone you follow uploads a new image, you'll be notified so you can check out their latest content right away.
