And that person gets a notification that someone has replied to them. Annoying AF.
Anyone who's used this forum for any amount of time knows this is horrible UI design and it's been this way forever
Switch off your notifications. Sorted.
Or if not
to that person, delete their name in the title line of a comment eg [NordicSkier]
Your second suggestion won’t work for him, as it appears that he’s enabled notification as a default.
He should heed your first suggestion though. The notifications could be toggled to off in the user control panel; took me only about 12 yrs to figure out how, and i used to have to uncheck the box with every single post.
I'm relatively new, so I have to admit I was baffled for awhile about how to reply to a thread without tagging a previous reply, so I've been selecting that last one, and backspacing out the author in the "subject" line.
Not sure if it's actually working in terms of preventing notifications, but no one has gotten pissy with me as yet.
