it would probably be a good idea (and polite!) to have a system that notifies anyone who has had their poem nominated by another in comps here.

especially since when we do this that person's poem appears in full on the comp page and not just as a link.

does it already show up as a 'share'? if it does, good; as a noob, i am still finding out how this site works on a technical level.
it would maybe still be courteous to let the authors know, individually, when we nom them or there should be some auto-message that gets sent their way to alert them. just as a matter of etiquette, really.

Yes, when you nominate a member’s ink, a little share will show up on the poem’s page site. However, sometimes I remember to leave a comment for that particular poet as a heads-up.  Other times I kinda sorta forget to.😇. I will do better in future, ma’am.😊

a little auto popup message might serve to notify then it wouldn't matter too much if we err as humans :D

Saaayyy... what about a notification?  You mention a pop-up, and that made me think of the notifications we all get for one thing or another.  We get ‘em when a member enters a poem in a comp, or a comment in a forum, so why not a nomination? Hmmm.  Ms butters, I see dee light!💡

ha lol illuminating stuff.

this popped up because Poetryman said he'd been totally unaware of anyone nomming him a few months back or something, and was hunting to see who had.

I second that, I think it would be cool to see it in our updates.

This functionality now exists; released as part of a larger update related to 'nomination style' competitions.
