Never seen that in my life? Is it new?

It’s so annoying! We can see when someone has commented on a thread from I’m on and watching tabs. This makes you think you have messages when if it’s stuff you are not interested in seeing or have already seen. I could understand if it was for @s and quotes. Utterly pointless.

NoWordForFluffy · 10/11/2020 19:25

Makes you wonder who comes up with such genius ideas!

Sparklingbrook · 10/11/2020 19:24

I don't know what it's for and why people think it's so great. I just want to turn it off.

BoreOfWhabylon · 10/11/2020 19:23

Yes, that's annoying, isn't it? Especially as the notifications keep filling up with posts to threads, except you don't know whether it's that or PMs without looking AND it navigates you away from the page/thread you're on in order to find out.

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 10/11/2020 18:54

Thanks Bore. It shows as a pm, but only after you've gone in to the notification system. Ideally it would show separately.

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 10/11/2020 18:52

Oh, it didn't seem to work for me earlier...Bore, could you pm me back please?

BoreOfWhabylon · 10/11/2020 18:51

Thanks @SpongeBobJudgeyPants Smile

BoreOfWhabylon · 10/11/2020 18:50

Thank you @NoWordForFluffy It still works Smile

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 10/11/2020 18:49

I'll do it Bore.

BoreOfWhabylon · 10/11/2020 18:44

Would someone mind PMing me please? Flowers
I'd like to see if that still works

Fauvist · 10/11/2020 18:43

I so want to turn these off. That little red dot is driving me crazy.

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 10/11/2020 18:19

You can't turn it off apparently Hmm

SabrinaThwaite · 10/11/2020 18:17

It’s really annoying. How do I turn it off?

Sirzy · 10/11/2020 18:10

I don’t see the point in it. I click on threads I’m on to see what has happened to the threads I’m on

MissAHannigan · 10/11/2020 18:10

I'd like mine turned off too.

Thinkingg · 10/11/2020 18:07

I'd also like an option to turn it off.

TopCatlivedinadustbin · 10/11/2020 18:04

Definitely new, I think its great

Really?!

WotWouldCJDo · 10/11/2020 17:33

I can't see how to turn them off.
It duplicates a function we already have.
I too thought my inbox had gone crazy.

JacobReesMogadishu · 10/11/2020 17:20

Another one who wants to turn it off

vodkaredbullgirl · 10/11/2020 17:19

Hate it

EasilyDepleted · 10/11/2020 17:18

I want the option to switch it off, it is going to make me miss seeing PMs.

Plantingbulbs · 10/11/2020 17:16

I would like the option to turn them off as I got excited to think I had 35 direct messages. Lockdown is tough Blush

NoWordForFluffy · 10/11/2020 17:13

Might not be so bad if it actually took you to your bookmarked post, rather than the start of the thread!

HokeyWokey · 10/11/2020 16:52

I love it. Please don't get rid of it.

Maybe give people the option to turn the notifications off though.

Dddaddy · 10/11/2020 16:40

It’s horrible
