Thaidakar the Ghostblood he/him Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 Hey, I know this seems to have been addressed before, but I haven't really been getting notifications for status updates that people are making. A bunch of people have been making ones, ik, and I haven't been getting notifs for them all day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenclawjedi42 Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 Also, just a quick question about the update, I noticed that some users have hands next to their profile pictures, what do those signify? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully there is a notification setup that works for you all, but obviously, we are at the mercy of the software vendor. It seems they have changed such things. This is unlikely to be something we can fix, but maybe there's an extension for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeoryi she/her Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 I got a pop-up notification for a PM message that was sent in September. No screenshot, left too soon, but this was on Google Chrome Mobile. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos he/him Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 It seems you can definitely create an Activity Stream for status updates, and set it to only show people you want to follow. Not quite a notification, but may work. Press the newspaper icon at the top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives me notifications whenever the members that I follow post in any place on the forums. 1 minute ago, Chaos said: It seems you can definitely create an Activity Stream for status updates, and set it to only show people you want to follow.

Hopefully we can find out a way to have the same affect as how it was going before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos he/him Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 I feel like the streams will probably be more managable, but sorry the functionality went away. Though amusingly, the "reply's aren't appearing on SU responses" isn't an issue if you look at it from Activity Streams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On PC you can hover over badges to get a description - it seems the "hand" icon is a "Wave, this member joined recently" badge. PS: I know it's only day one, but can I ask if I am the only one really bugged by the thread sidebar stuff? It's not the data , it the fact that as soon as you scroll passed that box of data, it's 1/4 of the screen that is just blank gray - feels like so much wasted space. If only it floated and was always in view (maybe) - just would be better as a header than a sidebar.

Experience he/him Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 You no longer receive a push notification from PMs? Only the notification that shows that you have PMs. Is this intentional? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Experience he/him Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) Status Updates don't appear to be giving people notifications. Either that or they are very delayed (like 10 minutes). On mobile, the side bar with all the info for each thread shows up in between the first and second post of the page. It seems like it should be either before the first post or after the last post, right? Also, Status Updates still give you a notification for every. single. reply. Is there a plan to fix this?

Is there a plan to fix this? How did the old site do it? I'm getting confused what people are wanting in these notifications for status updates. Honestly this core functionality is probably not a thing we can fix without going into the code. Again, it's at the mercy of the software package; it probably is what it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise people would be like, "I wasn't notified for this reply!" But in a thread if there are multiple people that reply it says x y and z + 3 others replied. Couldn't it do that for status updates as well instead of all being separate notifications? Plus, it only says that they replied to a status update, not which one they replied to so you can't know unless you click on every single one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose, but there are also a lot of things that notify you at each one. And status updates don't have titles like threads, so they couldn't do the last one. Anyway, sounds like for your use case you probably don't want that notification type. Edit: Wish I had more things useful to say, but that's just how the software works I'm afraid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
