Advice on Notification Settins


Ser Patroclo

Recommended Posts

Hi,



Today I received over 90 notifications all from the same thread.


This is overkilling, because I have to go through notification history and cherry pick those threads who get few answers.


I wouldn't like to completely turn off notifications from these threads receiving too many answers, because I will still eventually check them out.


Can someone of you please kindly help me with the notification settings?



I can't get my head around them. I would like to receive only these two types of notifications:


1. once for every time a post of mine is quoted, so that i can read and answer


2. a single notification simply letting me know that a thread I am following had some change, regardless of the number of novel posts sent there.



eta: bold part

You can turn on notifications for when yo get quoted in the notification options window. As for the second part, I don't think there's a way around that. Either receive a notification for every time someone posts or not at all.

I see.. but it really makes it difficult.. if I receive over a 3 hundred notifications in a couple of days, that's very difficult to handle.. ..you have to read 300 links and open them one by one, checking that you are not opening the same threads more than once.. boring.

We used to have the 'star' symbol on this board to highlight the threads with new content in which we did participate.. but for some reason, I don't see it anymore. :(

Yes we do normally have that, but certain features of the board have been disabled to allow it to handle the increased traffic caused by the TV show running. After the season ends these features will probably return.

Things should hopefully be back to normal soon.

I've never tried the setting before, but perhaps the option "Notification method to use for followed topics daily/weekly digests" is an option? Unless I'm mistaken, you should only get a notification every day/week...

But I'm not sure, so perhaps, if you want, you could simply try..

I just tried, thank you.

I'll let you know if it works.

Did it work? :)

I didn't see any daily digest as notification, perhaps it is only sent through email. I decided to turn back on immediate notification for every post and disable automatic follow of threads.. now I receive only notification from being quoted, and only when users remember to not delete my name.. which doesn't always happen. better a few than a couple of hundreds, even if I might forget about some threads in which I posted.

I supppose that will cease to be a problem within a week or so.. Once the performance mode is disabled, "my content" will become accessible again :)
