Getting unwanted notifications for every post in RS

coylemj

There is a thread in Feedback about this but could someone in RS please talk to the admin or tech support people in boards because since the recent major update to the platform, I and several people are getting a notification every time someone starts a thread or posts in an existing thread in this forum. https://www.boards.ie/discussion/2058200079/richersounds-ie#latest

Hi coylemj,

I don't know how that's happening to be honest, I'll link in @The Ritz to see they know of any settings that can be changed!

Kind regards

Sorry about this folks - I don’t get Boards notifications as part of my social media minimisation, and changing global forum settings is not a Moderation task.

I’ve dropped a PM to the Community Manager to alert them to this issue.

Cheers.

Ritz.

Boards.ie: Niamh

I am getting flood with this also, plus the Welcome to new Boards 1.0 platform thread, for every single post. makes the notifications borderline pointless

For me notifications have been broken for 6 months or so.

I get notifications from stuff I've unsubscribed from.

I get no notifications from some threads.

Often old notifications which I've deleted weeks ago, are sent again, then again.

Got so bad I deleted my old account which I had a very long time. The new account doesn't get notifications. I've given up.

Getting it also and also posted a thread somewhere of how do i unscribe from a thread.

Teething issues but will get sorted Cheers.

Folks,

Thanks for bringing this issue to the attention of the RS team.

As posted above, this issue has been noted by the Boards Team - there is an existing Boardies thread about RS in the Feedback forum if you wish to add your voice on the matter, and that forum is the appropriate place where any issues like this arising from the new platform can be surfaced. Posts on the subject there are more likely to be noticed and actioned by the appropriate Boards personnel.

No further posts on this thread for the moment please.

Thanks again,

Ritz

Cheers for the info Niamh and The Ritz.

Morning everyone,

We're very sorry for the hassle of being inundated with notifications. You should have some more control over notifications from categories now from your Notification Preferences page: https://www.boards.ie/profile/preferences . We will have to investigate further to make this more granular, but hopefully this will start cutting down on the number of (unwanted) notifications you receive. If there are still issues with notifications, it would be best to highlight it in Feedback (this thread was started on the same topic)

Hi Planet X.

Again sorry to hear about this issue but unfortunately it is out of the control of us here at Richersounds and the guys at Boards are working to fix the issue.

Boards.ie: Mark

Hi Planet X,

It seems the checkboxes were ticked to receive popups from the richersounds forum. I've turned that off for you now.

Seems the team at Boards now have things under control regarding this issue :)

I am still getting 5 new popups and that is from 1 am last night, hmm.

Mr Crispy

Just out of curiosity, can you show us a screenshot of your notification settings?

greasepalm

I have found a new page not seen before and followed a link by Mark which now shows a big long list of my preferences and pop ups and RS was ticked for both and now unticked and that should fix my problem cheers

As you can see RS was set as default

Richersounds.ie: Kenny

Thanks for all the updates guys.
