A question about "notifications"

suzyQ3 · ‎03-09-2010

If this has been addressed elsewhere, my apologies.

I've noticed a new twist to the notifications system the last few days or so. Before, I was notified only directly by name. Now when I get a notification, it's also even if my name was just mentioned somewhere in the multiple quotes. I hope this makes sense. I find it a tad anoying.

Anyone else notice this? If I need to try to clarify it more, let me know. :-)

That's what I'm seeing, too. Every new post which contains my name triggers a notification, including ones where my posts are quoted.

@suzyQ3. Yes.

Hi SQ3, I have noticed it.

I think it's all tied in with that useless wrote stuff

I noticed this too, @suzyQ3. I don't remember this from the past, either.

Yes, I've noticed it too. I like being notified when I'm quoted initially, and I think that makes sense. I don't like being notified when that embedded quote is subsequently quoted. That's going to water down what I assume was the intent, IMO, and have the effect of making me much less attentive to my notifications than I was.

Yes, it happened at the same time they fixed the "wrote." Like WenGirl42 I like it when it's my post that's being quoted. Sometimes someone will reply to me without paging me with the @ sign. I might not have come back to that thread, so I do like being notified at that time.
