As of today, some of you may notice that your ‘My Mumsnet’ icon at the top right of the screen will start to show a red numbered notification icon. We are rolling out a new notifications feed, the purpose of which is to let you know when there are updates to things that you are following.
To see your notifications, just click on the 'My Mumsnet' icon and select 'Notifications' from the drop down menu.
At the moment there are two types of notifications displayed within your feed:
Mentions on a thread. When a user types @YourUsername within a thread, you’ll receive a notification for each mention you receive.
Updates to a thread you are watching. These will be aggregated by thread, so if there are 10 new posts on a thread you have been watching you will receive one notification for that thread. If you have email notifications switched on for mentions and ‘threads I’m watching’, you will still receive these via email too.
When you have clicked on a notification in your feed that notification will be marked as read.
If you have a lot of notifications and you want to dismiss them all, just click ‘mark all as read’.
Please be aware, you may not see this feature straight away as we are releasing this feature incrementally, but soon enough this should be available to all users.
Over time we’ll make improvements to the notifications feed, so we welcome any and all comments. Please leave your feedback and questions below.
