Ability to "sort" Notifications.


Flutter's lover <3

Recommended Posts

I log in daily with anywhere from 70-300 notifications. They're all a mixture of  various notifications...status updates, PM replies, topic replies, brohoofs, comments on blogs etcetera. It takes me a little while to sift through them all. It's also relatively easy to "overlook" some notifications and miss them.

 

I think it would be a handy feature to add in something similar to this, (See screencap below) to the notification list. Instead of where it says "updates" and "Member's Profile Feed" on the wooden bar, it would have the various notification types under each one. Like one for Topic replies,one for Status updates, etcetera.You'd also have the option to show "all" notifications, like how they show up now.

I know it'd make going through notifications a bit more streamlined.

 

I'm not sure how "easy" it'd be to implement either though.or if it'd be even possible with IP.Board.

I'd support this idea. personally I don't get as many notifications of course, but over time even though some of my notifications are linked through e-mail, it gets annoying rummaging through them in order to find quotes, mentions and the sort.

 

This is especially the case when I reply to a lot of statuses and get a ton of incoming traffic when I log in the next day.

I don't know whether or not this would be possible, as status updates, along with blogs, are one of the things that are almost uneditable in this board software, from what I've gathered from the past. On that note, if you're getting that many notifs a day, you probably have 'Notify me when one of my friends updates their status' checked. Name at the top right > My Settings > Notifcation Settings, uncheck things, along with that one, where you'd like. Customizes things for you nicely, and should cut down a lot on that asinine amount of notifcations.

I don't know if this would help but I use my email service to create custom rules that organize all notification emails into their on sub-folder based on subject line

I get really granular on some things, but you don't have to. I needed a better system when I started following some topics in the games forum

Yeahh. I don't really see this as being a necessity because there's so much that can already be done to circumvent the problem. If you're having a problem with notification spam, you can just stop following all the topics you reply to/turn off status update notifications and only follow a few important topics. I really only get notifications from PMs, Rarity Fan Club replies, and brohoofs/quotes/etc, because I got so frustrated logging into to nearly 400 notifications a day that I'd never sift through because it'd be too strenuous.

 

Now, I'm logging into 40 or so notifications a day, with about 39 of them being something Rarity fan club related :D It's made things much more bearable on me, and I'd recommend the same to you if logging in only to see yourself having an ass ton of notifications is getting irritating, since I know you follow every topic you reply to :please:

If you don't want to stop doing that, though, you can always just use the daily digest :please:

From what I gather, it'll notify you to all the replies to the topics you follow at a rate at which you choose, rather than just immediately. You can get notified of all the replies to a topic immediately, only when you're offline, daily or even weekly, rather than just being blitzed all at once with them. I believe it's something you should look into :D But yeahh, assuming that it's possible, there's so many ways around this already that I don't think it's something that'd really be necessary to have.

I've already cut down the bulk of them.

 

I was just making a suggestion, to add in something to better sort notifications when you do get them. If you wanna view topic replies,  click a button and it'll just show you topic replies and etcetera for other notifications.
