Getting Notifications

Jordan2 — Wed, 28 Aug 2019 22:01:26 GMT

So, I'm not going to lie, I love getting notifications! I love signing in and seeing how many notifications I have (how needy am I)! It's like validation, someone read what I had to say, I don't care if you agree with me or not, if it's a heart or a mention, it doesn't matter to me. Does anyone else feel this way, or am I the biggest loser?

I haven't really paid attention to it in months and months. My notifications says "99+" Glad this makes you happy!

I like the @ feature because I don't like to ignore somebody who is trying to dialogue with me. If the @ feature is not used I won't know if somebody is responding or asking a question or providing some input. I may miss one or two sometimes, though.

Now if it is being used to fight, then that is a different story. On my part, too.

I like to give hearts to posters to let them know I read their responses, especially on threads I start. I may not respond with something else to say but at least I can acknowledge that they took the time to read and/or responded.

I don't like ignoring posters.

When I ask for recommendations or help with a problem, I like to acknowledge anyone who replys.

Yes. I like to get notifications also. I look forward to seeing them each day when I sign on.

I think people in general like to be recognized for a thought they take the time to post. My thing is, it irks me when posters read things into my post or won't let something go. I will try to resolve things, but after awhile I just don't care any more. I wish I could block posters who always react negatively to my posts, there are a few and I wish they would just pass my posts by. I guess I just have to not respond to them.

I like them for the reasons mentioned @Jordan2 , plus they remind me to go back to a thread that I wanted to check up on and may have forgotten about or couldn't find. I can look back and find a conversation that I wanted to see how others felt about after I posted something.

Did that make sense? LOL I like to see what others have to say or how they feel about topics.

This is a positive thread, for the most part, and I'll continue that trend with my agreement. I do like the notification feature.

yes, they are the first thing i look at when i am on the boards.

i especially like seeing the @ mentions because i want to go back to either respond to the mention or heart it.

It was nice of you to share this. Now that I know you enjoy the notifications I will try to remember to always heart you. It is always nice when we can make someone feel good.

Hearts ? If that's the subject - yes they are nice; but half the time I never go back to check and notification (I guess) shows up only if I'm still on this board. Glad they make posters happy tho.

It’s nice to know someone appreciated what you wrote. I try to reciprocate to all who respond to me. I also like to heart a good answer or a great new thread. Thanks to all who take the time to do so. ❤️

@Jordan2 I try to check the ones that say “mentioned” figuring they may require a response.

I also like the notification feature. It gives me the chance to respond to someone, if it's a "mention".

Iit's also nice to know if someone has read your response, when s(he) has asked for advice, and you've posted a reply.

It acts as a reminder for me, too, about which threads I've posted on and makes the boards more of a dialogue. That's why I'm here, after all. I'm not just "talking to myself".

I don't get on the forums every day and sometimes not for several days. When I do, sometimes I forget to notice notifications. When I do, it's like receiving a present, seeing several notifications, and I can reminisce about the conversation that I contributed to.

@Jordan2 The notifications are useful so that you can go back to check on a topic you started or responded to. Also, it is nice to be "hearted" and if mentioned to be able to respond if it is appropriate.

It is indeed nice to know that someone read your post and liked it or agreed with you. I do read my notifications but can't say that I look forward to them.
