New Forums Feature: Notifications!

[CherryBomb]

Hi everyone, 

We’re excited to announce a new feature on the Forums. Notifications! 

If you’re logged in, you’ll notice a little bell by your username (or in the top-left corner for mobile web users). 

Whenever someone @mentions you, likes one of your posts or responds to a discussion you’re subscribed to, you’ll see a number next to the bell.  

(This is what it looks like on a desktop - it differs slightly on the mobile version)

This number tells you how many notifications you have. Tap or click the bell to see a list of your notifications. Tap the name of the discussion and you’ll go straight to the post. 

You can unsubscribe from discussions from your profile on the desktop or tablet versions of the site. 

Notifications help you quickly return to discussions you’ve posted to and stay up-to-date with conversations that interest you. 

If you have any questions or difficulties getting notifications working for you, post below and we’ll assist.

Sweet!! But will I then still receive emails as normal?

@CherryBomb That is brilliant - already works well on the app - and makes it easier to respond.

When will it be up and running.

Is there also a provision to be able to identify which moderator is on as well? 

[CherryBomb]

It should be up and running at some point this afternoon. @Zoe7

And yes, I believe you will get notifications to your email. @Former-Member

Hi @CherryBomb, just wanted to let you know I've been using the notifications feature on the site a lot since it was introduced. It is a great addition to the site. Thanks!
