Steven P. Administrators Posted February 10, 2011 Administrators Share Posted February 10, 2011 We have changed the way Notifications appear in the list dropdown. Before, each new reply or alert would show a separate entry in the drop down list (next to Search) regardless if it is the same topic or not. Now all those alerts are merged, if there are 10 or 20 (or even 2) alerts for the same topic it will only show one alert for that topic. This makes it easier to see more topics in the dropdown list, without one particular topic filling it up.

De.Bug Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Awesome, I've had that problem before when posting on new articles. I would get like 10 notifications.

John S. Veteran Posted February 10, 2011 Veteran Share Posted February 10, 2011 Is that supposed to include news articles on the front page? I just had 7 individual notifications for the same news article I commented on. They said each user had replied to a comment I'd made, but each comment was only after mine, not quoting it.

Kirkburn Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Did this change actually happen? I'm confused, because I see this: http://img810.imageshack.us/i/notifications.png/ Which is an individual notification for every reply, and the message is rather useless - I'd rather know the topic name than "has replied to a comment you made" every time. [Don't get me wrong though, I love the feature] Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/974766-notifications-are-now-merged/#findComment-593762898 Share on other sites More sharing options...
