Right so i think the notification to tell me i have been quoted by someone is a very good addition to the site.

However, its quite annoying me that i get a notification to tell me i have quoted someone else - i kinda know that already as i just did it..

Also why do they not disappear unless you go to the thread via the notification - i keep going through my unread subscribed threads and then notice the notifications at the top and to get rid of them i have to go into each individual thread - i have normally just read the thread and seen the 'like', 'dislike' or 'quote'.

Is there any settings for this i haven't found yet?
 
You shouldn't get a quote about yourself, unless you quote a thread that quoted you? If so, that's a bug.

To clear notifications, you need to click the number in the drop down bar.it will then list all the threads.

There's no way to change that as the notification is just a counter, it doesn't actually tag to threads.
 
its not working for me like that..

I go to the list and then i have to actually click each thread individually to clear each notification.

And if i reply in a thread and quote someone - when i next load a page i get a notification to tell me i just quoted someone.

Perhaps move this to Bugs section and see if anyone else has the same thing?? Not that many people seem to browse the bugs often :rolleyes:
 
my mummy says i'm special :eek: lol

(y)

The blue counter doesn't say i have quoted bit if i go into it like the likes and dislikes it tells me who i have quoted.

Mines is the same with clearing the counter i have to go into the list of quotes in my user cp and click on the post link even though i've already read the post. But mines has always been like that with the likes/dislikes and social groups etc
 
Nope cause i thought that thats how it would work the first few times but it doesn't clear :( i have to click the link to the thread
 
Are you sure you need to click the post? Just go to the list page should clear it, but it won't show until you browse to another page, as when the header is created the clear code hasn't run yet.

No because if say there is 3 notifications for 3 different quotes on three different threads - i have to go to the list of quotes (if i browse away from this screen the number stays at the top), so then i have to click a quote to view it and when i browse away from the page the number at the top would go down to 2. Have to do the same on each to clear the notification.

Also noticed if i browse the thread where the quote is without using the notification to get to said page the notification doesn't clear either..

Sorry to whinge Ben, love the new layout and design, just a little annoying.


edit: that time i didn't get the notification to say i quoted you like i did before :confused: which was what was annoying me the most - how strange

Thats what i get to but the number in the blue box doesn't change when i quote someone else which i think is what happened to blu73:confused:
 
So for me posting this sends me a notification to say i just posted this.. does that make sense?

Makes complete sense, as I have it too. When I post this, I'll get a notification telling me I've just quoted someone - even have it on my profile wall of quotes:

Yes it does... :confused: (this taken off your profile 'quotes' tab btw)

In fact, your last 5 quote notifications have been about you quoting someone else. Or do you mean they're on the tab but you don't get the number go up on the black bar up top...?
