It would be nice to receive a notification when someone reacts to our post or if somebody replies to it.

I always have to manually check and I don't catch all the replies due to the speed on some threads. I think if we received notifications for these things, there would be more community engagement and perhaps we would feel more connected.

You can subscribe to threads as far as I know.

I use Tapatalk on my phone and it’s an option anytime I post on a thread.

I would not like such a thing. I dislike notifications

I do not want to see all the thread posts though. Just replies to mine.

Perhaps just an user option for this type of notification then. You can always subscribe to notifications in other sites/ apps.

That kind of already exists. @penguinh, you can @mention people, and they'll receive a notification, but it requires someone else to @mention you and not a lot of people use it.

Yes that is what my clicking subscribe to does. Can you just scroll down the thread until you see your post being quoted? Maybe I have no idea what I’m talking about

But as I sad I use Tapatalk on my phone, maybe someone that uses such a feature on desk top view can come explain how to find a tool to help you in what your trying to do.

It's EXTREMELY distracting to those of us who prefer - nay, require - things orderly and predictable. Dast i say unchanging. I speak only for myself of course.

I know we are not supposed to diagnose, but this recommendation of yours makes me suspicious.

Eta - unless your recommendation was a joke. In which case i say, well played, sir!

One who has 47 unread emails and has no intention of looking through any of them.

They're already sorted.

I know what they look like and I still don't want it. If it is a feature one can choose or not - then fine but it is quite annoying to have it showing a notification for something one has no need about which to be notified.

Thanks for the suggestion and feedback.

After some deliberation, we've decided that we're not adding any new notifications at this time. We feel like you have plenty of notifications already via the notifications box that will display if you have any pending notifications. Furthermore, you can check your profile for additional notifications, and even set it up so it emails you for things like subscribed threads or new PMs.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
