Somebody please respond to this so I can see how the notifications work.

[EssExTee]

I went to the dump today.

[SamV8]

here you go

[PowderHound]

I will not!

[SamV8]

even got a notification that you edited your post

[Wacko]

No you do it

[EssExTee]

@samv8 So far there are three responses to this post amd I haven't gotten any notifications

[SamV8]

check your settings, on desktop press your display icon in top right corner then settings, near the bottom there is the notification settings, mine are all set to notification only

[jminer]

@essextee Could be since they hit the quick rely and not the direct. This is at you - notification?

[SamV8]

I got a notification for your post J, I'm using the quick reply now, are you getting a notification for this?

[EssExTee]

@samv8 right, so I should get a notification and I don't. I think we only get them if you @ the person you're responding to

[SamV8]

I get notifications to posts that I reply in, even if I'm not @'d

[jminer]

@SamV8 no notification there. Although replies are populating into the thread real time!

[SamV8]

yeah just seen that real time update that's pretty decent

just got this error when I tried to reply just now; @jminer

"As a new user, you can only post once every 30 second(s) until you have earned 3 reputation - please wait before posting again" how do I get this 3 rep? is it 3 up votes to comments/posts?

[EssExTee]

@samv8 I have not gotten a single notification that you have replied to the original post nor to any comments I have made. You have to @ if you want the person you're responding to to know you've responded.

[SamV8]

this is using the main reply not quick reply, do you get this notification Essextee? not @'ing so that notif doesn't throw it off

[EssExTee]

@jminer this comment system is too much like a traditional forum, i.e. terrible. Comments are like whole new posts, there's no nesting so you can follow conversations, and you have to @ the person you want to reply to.

As much as we liked to bitch about it, Kinja was a really good platform dammit.

[EssExTee]

@samv8 no, because as I said, you have to @ me if you want me to know you're replying to me. Otherwise you're just making a new post to the topic rather than directing a comment at me, and I don't get a notification
This commenting system works like a traditional forum where any replies are the same tier as the original post rather than being replies to the post

[SamV8]

This is my notifications as you can see I got a notification for Rusty posting in the Head Cold thread and that wasn't tagging me, so I'm really not sure what's going on with the notifications

[jminer]

@samv8 Yes, I believe three upvotes on comments or posts you have made. I'll turn that off for now since we're all new. It'll probably get turned back on later.

[EssExTee]

@samv8 youve followed the entire thread, so you get a notification for every single action that happens in it whether or not it's a comment directed at you

[jminer]

@essextee I can't argue, comments aren't perfect. This is still a traditional forum so replies are categorized as such.

[Rusty Vandura]

You suck.

[EssExTee]

@rusty-vandura I know

[Rusty Vandura]

But I still care about you.

[Rusty Vandura]

@essextee And so on.
