I have some questions regarding to whom the Notifications will be send exactly.

postPublicNotification($n)
The Notification is send to all players having currently Bookmarked the Manialink. Okay, this one is clear ^^

postPersonalNotification($n)
The Notification will be send to the player $n->recieverName and all its buddies.
  • Will the Notification will be visible to really all buddies, or must they have bookmarked the Manialink, too?
  • Is the Notification send even if $n->receiverName has not bookmarked the Manialink?
postPrivateNotification($n)
The Notification will be send to $n->receiverName only.
  • Must the receiver have bookmarked the Manialink to see this Notification?
These three points are not clear to me, and seems to be not documented as well.

This notification is seen even if $n->receiverName has not bookmarked the manialink. The notification is seen by the player and his friends if he has not blacklisted the Manialink.

This case is similar to the previous one, but only the receiver will see the notification.

I hope, I answered properly to your questions

Yeah, thanks, this was exactly what I wanted to know. Maybe somebody should add this to the documentation (that the buddies/receiver must not have the Manialink bookmarked), so that it is clear to future developers ^^
