User Notification in CI

[eluser]TheFuzzy0ne[/eluser]
Other than getting the user to click on a link in an email, there's no way for you to know whether or not it's been read. Notifications are nornally stored in the database, and the user is emailed a notification to let them know they have a notification (if that makes sense). When they login to the Web site, and read the notification, your app can then mark it as being read.
