We are using multiple plugins now. That is what I am addressing. I know the MyAlerts has a lot of compatibility issues so I never even installed it, as we have enough plugins and compatibility issues as is.
Often when I add a plugin it breaks something else, or affects the themes because these themes are incompatible with the current forum software. I will maybe look into actually trying MyAlerts but I thought that helped with other things and not that in particular. If that specific function is indeed there inside that plugin then I will do some research and see if it works with our site as well, without breaking other things.
I am not coding these things from scratch, no... but I have to code almost every single one of them to make sure they work with things. Often I have to adjust the code, and place it in the right spot in the theme/main code, or I have to remove some line of code that conflicts with the other things etc...
So no I don't personally code these things but I have to go through tons of code ad then alter it and find the right fixes etc... so it is akin to coding, with some minimal coding, but mostly is reading code, and finding the right code in a sea of disorganized code and try to find the right solution... so it still is a pain often haha
