WHY DOES IT MAKE SOUNDS!?
-
I might be a bit behind the curve because I usually use mobile but...
Holy fuck, whoever added this feature is a goddamned war criminal. And the fact that it ignores my settings is FANTASTIC!
-
It doesn't ignore your settings - it's just that "unset" means "make noise" and there's no UI for "unset" so it defaults to the first option which is "don't make noise".
Just save your settings and the noise will go away.
-
@ben_lubar So it's an actual bug, not a complaint. I categorized properly!

That is a bad default @julianlam
-
Ok, I just went to https://what.thedailywtf.com/admin/general/sounds and clicked save.
Can someone who hasn't saved their settings verify whether that stopped the sounds?
-
@ben_lubar You almost certainly just broke someone's workflow. (that's not verification)

That's broken, and not just the @blakeyrat "feature I don't like" broken. It's making noise when the UI says it shouldn't be making noise.
If "unset" is even a thing (push a default setting for all the users who don't have one, so the UI isn't in an inconsistent state!), at least the noisemaker and the UI should respond the same way to "unset". Probably that should be don't make noise...

It even made noise on :nod: with notification and ringtone sounds muted, the browser window in the background, and the screen locked. I was going crazy yesterday wondering what the fuck that "bleedoop" sound was coming from.
-
@Fox HOLY SHIT IS THAT WHAT THAT NOISE WAS.
-
@Yamikuronue Almost certainly.
-
My tablet wouldn't stop making noises, but it had no notifications that were dinging, it was just dinging. I bet you because the notifications didn't get pushed to the OS.

plz upgrade to FF22 and try again.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this thread.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this thread.
Except that, saving blank notification sounds fields does not work. Turning off upvote notifications does not work. So I have used Chrome to block all notifications from https://what.thedailywtf.com -- and how will you go about forcing a sound on me now?

I set all three notifications to a sound, saved, cleared all three sounds, saved again. This seems to have worked.

Well, I tried that, too. That didn't work either. The Chrome notification block didn't work.
Now I've closed all the pages and when I came back in, I ctrl-F5'd the page. That, finally, seems to have worked. I'm getting popups but no sounds.

Fuck this noise.

I am feeling somewhat disappointed that I get no sounds, thus cannot join in the grouphate.

@tufty I would like to be able to upload my own custom sounds.

I would like to be able to enforce the use of my own custom sounds on others :)

WTF? What kind of mobile OS o you use that allows a browser do shit like that?!
That's insane!

It should show who downvoted by default. Hate this anonymous negative shit.
If you don't agree, have the guts to admit that!

https://what.thedailywtf.com/user/tufty/settings ??? It should be there by now, just do the needful there and save.

Eh, when I go to the live stream of the local radio station, it doesn't stop playing when I lock the phone.

Wait, did you save your profile settings at all since the update yesterday?
Because if you didn't that means saving in the admin panel fixed it.

When you explicitly leave it, it's ok. When it just randomly turns itself on and starts making sounds, just because some stupid fucking web designer decided it would be cool: you should replace your phone with something saner. Especially since you can't be sure if that was a stupid fucking web designer or a developer of one of the 100 other applications you've installed.

I think the most downvoted post would be in the official downvotes thread ...
