Notification are stupid
-
There are posts in a category I have set to ignored.
I get notifications about posts in that category.
There are individual topics in that category that I have explicitly set to ignore.
I get notifications about mentions and upvotes in that topic.
What the fuck?
-
The NodeBBDevs didn't implement the ignore stuff the way I did, which would have done what you want. I suggest possibly necroing this:
-
@Lorne-Kates This is a known issue, which I'm certain you saw complain about more than once.
Why are you surprised?

That's because unlike you, NodeBB devs are stupid.

Why are you surprised?Because NodeBB has so many idiotic sub-system interaction decisions that I can't even keep track of what's broken, what's broken by design, and what's been fixed.
I only noticed it now because I got a notification from a category I ignored. And then it turned out it's because some posts were Jeffed into that category. So I explicitly set the topic to ignore (which is a WhatTheBB feature, I thought). And I still get notifications for it.
So it's a bug. I'm filing a bug. Why are you surprised?

@Lorne-Kates Seriously, you assholes are downvoting a bug report? Fuck you.

The only thing mute does is prevent it from showing up in unread :(
People keep replying to me after threads are jeffed into the garage. It's annoying. I also have to put up with all ya'lls flags and mod-mentions too.

I guess it hasn't been fixed then. Fine, close this as a dupe and necro whichever most active "WTF NOTIFICATIONS FROM MUTES" topic we have.

They also no longer show in recent, though they used to.

Not only is this a known issue, it's a deliberate decision that the NodeBB devs made.
Maybe if you go tell them they're a bunch of alt-right racists, they'll change their minds and do it correctly.

Sounds like a lot of work!

Um, actually, they're Canadians, eh? Maybe @Lorne-Kates knows the secret handshake and will have more luck convincing them than I did.

The truth is there's no secret handshake, per se. It's a red herring to waste resources and to expose people who "think" they know the handshake. I mean, yes, the handshake does help identify Canadians to each other. But it's because we feel how much the hands stick to each other due to maple syrup residue. There's a very unique "feel" to it. It's our shibboleth. Or ShibbolEHth, as we call it.

Notifications are also stupid because:
- notifications from a given thread don't group together and the newest notification always points towards the end of the thread, so I need to scroll back to see posts I've missed;
- upvote notifications don't go away if I open them in a new tab;
- the notifications menu keeps closing whenever I middle-click to open in a new tab, so I either need to force myself to remember to right-click instead of have to open the menu again;
- the notifications page auto-refreshes while I'm looking at it. Not even the topics page does that. Also, it doesn't load older notifications if they're read, because why would I want to use it to navigate threads?
- It's not unusual for me to reach a state where the icon persistently says there's 1 notification while both the menu and page don't show anything.
Also, can we plz has:
.composer .preview p { margin-bottom: 8px;} .composer .preview ul li { margin-bottom: 0.25em; }
Not to happy with the
margin-top
andpadding
onpre
elements either.

You want me to change the composer preview so it looks less like the actual thing?
-
@ben_lubar No, I'd like to change the style for both preview and posts.
Why are they even using different CSS rules?
