1Maryann Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Why do you get a notification at the top of the page when someone 'likes' your post, but you don't get notified when someone comments on it? I'm more interested in conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee Lee Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 It's a good question. Have you already exhausted these? http://forum.whole9life.com/index.php?app=core&module=usercp&tab=core&area=notifications I haven't played with all the notification settings, so I'm not sure if that'll help.

Derval Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 and what happens when you "follow" someones thread - do you get notified of new replies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Maryann Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 Thanks, Renee. I changed a couple of checkmarks, I'll see if that helps. Derval, I had the same question. There have been a few threads I wanted to follow, but I don't want a million emails a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasha Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I "follow" things but haven't ever received any notifications of them? And yes, I would love to see new comments on things I've posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee Lee Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I struggle with the "follow" as well. I used it to make sure I wasn't missing any topics in the forums I'm officially tasked to watch, but it hasn't worked the way that I anticipated that it would. I assumed it was user error on my part and never minded enough to try to figure it out. I'll point Matt here and see if he can help us out. I've been tracking new comments via the "view new content" section. You've got to do some filtering, but it's not that much of a bear, AND the forum remembers what your filtering prefs are next time you come to the page. I filter by "forums" > "content I have not read" > "topics i participated in" I've tried the "just items I follow," but that hasn't worked for me, maybe it's because I follow full forums not just certain posts? Poke around with that and let me know if it works for you guys...I'll still ping Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Hi all, If you click the "Follow" button at the top of the page here, you'll get notifications -- depending how they're set up in your User CP. To receive an email and an alert in the 'bell' drop down menu, ensure the first two columns are checked, like so: If you click "Follow" at the top of a forum, you'll receive notification of when new topics are posted in that forum, but you won't receive notification of replies to those topics until you follow them individually.

Melelina Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Newbie question here: Is there a reason why people "notify" that they like a post you made, other than to be friendly (not that there is anything wrong with that!)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Newbie question here:Is there a reason why people "notify" that they like a post you made, other than to be friendly (not that there is anything wrong with that!)? It's someone showing support for what you said. I found an unexpected benefit; I go see what they "liked" and sometimes that same person will also reply to my post. I may miss that if I don't see a like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee Lee Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Liking isn't an automatic notification. It's the same as a FB like. If you don't want to be notified when somebody likes one of your comments, you can adjust your notification settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Strathdee Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Another note: sometimes us Moderators will like a post to indicate that a community member got it "right" and there's no need for an additional answer from us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
