Notifications!!

Why are we notified that we have given a like or a dislike?

I already know when I have given a like or a dislike.

And since it takes so long for the notification to show up, what is the point.

Can the whole notification of likes and dislikes be disabled?
 
If you are getting your like/dislike in a pop-up (a message that comes up such that it disrupts what you are doing) you can click on "General Notifications" at the top of the page and then the fourth one down under Private Messaging allows you to shut of Pop-ups.

If the notification is just showing up under "Notifications" in the far upper right of the screen in numbers, I haven't figured out yet how to shut that off.

Hope this helped.
 
I don't mind being notified of PMs and Like/Dislikes from other people.

It is stupid to send a Like/Dislike alert to the person that posted it.

A simple change in the programing could fix that.
 
I clicked to turn off the notifications, and clicked "save" but nothing happened. I expected something. There is a little lock on my screen right above that notification and it is in the locked position.

I don't know whether or not I actually turned off the likes/dislikes, but I will be testing.
 
I received no notification for your Like so my test worked.

I'll turn it back on. If you did not get notified on my "like" then your on/off is working too. I'm about to like you again. Just want to make sure you do not have something set that interfers with turning notifications on or off. The basics of Nightswimmers method does work.
 
Mine works now. I had to leave before we finished our test, and it doesn't do any kind of obvious shift unless you have a like up there that you can watch toggling. But it works. EXCELLENT and thanks to Greenridgeman for asking the question.
 
I agree. I know what I gave, just need to know what I get. A complete waste of space to tell us what we know we've done and never store them. Also, those that I get seem to 'disappear', but not those that I give...what gives with that?
 
I want to know what I've received, not necessary to know what I've given...so this 'solution' doesn't work for me. Got anything else?
 
Since the thread was about how annoying notifying me of what I just did is, and it turned into a thread on how to stop ALL notifications, the reading comprehension monster has struck again.

Click to expand...

Friday,that was my thought too. If I turn it off all go off, not just your own. I would also like to know how to get rid of the old ones without losing the new.
 
On some of the questions on the function capabilities that come up we likely have to gather them and dig up the answers. It almost seems like the answer to most of the questions not answered is ""no" but only because the page for stopping or selecting the notifications does not include customizing capabilities but you never know so it doesn't hurt to find out for sure.
 
I think 99.9% of us would NOT like to be notified of our own use of the like/dislike feature.

Seems anybody that could set up a complex site could fix this feature easily.

The all or nothing approach is not helpful at all.
