Ser Patroclo Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 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 answer2. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stannis Eats No Peaches Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 You can turn on notifications for when you 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metopheles Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 And here I want notifications.It is hard to keep track of the threads you are in without the My content notifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the season ends these features will probably return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhaenys_Targaryen Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 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..

Ser Patroclo Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 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 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
