Are Notifications Working?

@barnee

Me too. On Apple it’s always been blue until recently.

@barnee thanks for the prompt response and the help!

@barnee ok I see what’s happening. It’s taking me further down the page sometimes where suggested topics is and I can’t see the unreads. I just need to scroll up. Sorry to bother you

@SS-GEN said in The new forum has been a lot of work and it's not done yet:

I know it’s getting better but I posted a reply for my game report in house rules and with the changes the stuff just gets buried. Somebody post another tread reply and such now you have to go threw every topic to find it. Just sayin.

If I’m understanding correctly, there’s no difference between the old forum and the new forum for this situation. If you post a topic, and a bunch of folks post different topics, your topic will eventually end up on another page unless somebody replies. On forums, “stuff gets buried” all the time.

Also, you absolutely do not have to go through every topic to find your topic. This has come up multiple times, there are tips and tricks that cover this, I added helpers in the navigation bar. Not to be harsh but I’m just not sure what else we’re supposed to do.

Here’s a recap of your options:

Notifications: there is a bell near your avatar on the toolbar. When somebody replies, there will be a red number. Click that and you’ll get all of your notifications.

Replies to your Posts: I literally added this to the toolbar because people were complaining about finding their stuff. It’s the double-left arrow in the nav bar. It’s literally the same as clicking Notifications followed by “See all Notifications”

Recent Topics: Click the clock in the nav bar. Where it says “All Topics” select “Watched Topics” instead. You can even select a category to further narrow it down.

Recent Watched Topics: Click the eye in the nav bar. That will give you “recent” watched topics, including any topic you made or any topic you replied to. (I think I’ll change this to the next one)

All of Your Watched Topics: Go to your profile. Click the 3 dots. Click Watched.

Your Topics: Go to your profile. Click the 3 dots. Click Topics.

Bookmarks: If a particular topic is super important, then click the three dots on a topic, the one next to Reply, Quite, <heart>, < 3 dots> and click Bookmark. To find your bookmarks: Go to your profile. Click the 3 dots. Click Bookmarks.

That 6 ways to find your stuff. The old forums had a stupid icon that was hard to see and made no sense, I think it was a face or something. The replies to your posts was nice but we have that and more.

Note: there’s a bug with your watched topics if you have infinite scrolling turned on. I’ll file it later.

@P@nther:

OK, here the issue is addressed:

@tripleawarclub.org:

The site is currently closed for software updates and fixes!!! (Feb 13th 2016). Please log in to the lobby if you need something. Dice server should stay online, lobby will be unaffected. MSN/Live/Hotmail/Outlook email addresses are still blocking PBEM dice server emails, hopefully resolve that soon too.

Use a different email-provider if you don’t want to wait.
:-)

Right, thanks, I have a live mail adress, and it is indeed getting blocked. Now using my gmail adress and working properly :)

I need to pony up for a T-shirt.  :oops:

Yeah, I got cookies. Double Stuf Oreos and Walmart chocolate chip :P .

I was logged in, entered a note on one forum, hit the Forum Index button at the bottom of the page, picked another forum, made an entry and when I looked it was credited to Guest.
It only happened the one time and only on this site/forum.

no no I wasn’t
