Well I can certainly see that side of the question, and have seen it for a long time, Chris. And if only the reply was quoted in the notification, it would be great. One reason why it can be good: in (old) times it could be that you were away, and mostly used your email client, not browsing the web. You will also find that you can start a thread, be away from the lounge, get one notification, eventually return, and find that it really took off after that first reply with two pages or more, and you lost the whole thing.ChrisGreaves wrote: ↑14 Jul 2021, 16:57I have assumed that for this (or any other BBS/Lounge) that I really want only one email notification between visits.
If I visit a Lounge on Monday, and not again until Friday, I want just one notification per thread during that interval. In particular I do NOT want an email notification for every new post or reply in a single thread.
Now that you mention it; it's true that if a certain Bonavistian participates in the thread you might experience something like that. Didn't think of that.ChrisGreaves wrote: ↑14 Jul 2021, 16:57I can see that someone else might want to have an email notification for every post/reply in a thread; a barrage of email notifications for the one thread would indicate a flurry of activity which, presumably, would be of interest to someone. Not, perhaps, to me.
The really unwanted feature, in my opinion, is to get an email notification (that doesn't tell you what was in the reply) for each updated thread while you are logged in and using the lounge ... It's not like there are other clues, icons changing colour, threads moving to the top of forums and the lounge Portal, and with recent versions of the forum software: a dedicated online notification service. Leaving the lounge, and then check your email (if they haven't bothered you during your lounge visit) will be: already read it, read it, read it, read it, replied, read it and laughed, read it, ignored, read it, read it ...
One "Rolling 24 hours" and one "on this day"; or one being an old feature going to be removed? But as Leif said ...ChrisGreaves wrote: ↑14 Jul 2021, 16:57Note the first and third arrowed entries, "New posts in the last day" and "New Posts last day".
Now what do you suppose is the difference between these two, apart from the fact that an Administrator has suggested that I use the latter ...
By the way, we'll be two on the plank, at least once.
