d e v i c e Posted July 18, 2013 #1 Share Posted July 18, 2013 In my 'settings' under 'notification preferences' I have checked "Notify me when someone quotes my post [and I'm not already following]" but I'm not being notified in my display, upper right hand side of web page or by email, which is checked also. I'm only noticing replies to my comments if I randomly go back to the topic and see. But my other notifications are working fine, so it's just this one - which is quite a crucial one. So, where am I going wrong? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d e v i c e Posted July 18, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Did you receive a notification about this quote ? No, Mr Saru. I had to come to the forum to see if there was a reply. But I just received a "like" notification to a recent post I made. I'm using a Google Chrome browser and Win7 OS, if that's any help. Also, by recommendation, I disabled a bunch of background programs on my comp, a while back, to make it go faster. Not sure if that has something to do with it.

Saru Posted July 18, 2013 #4 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I'm thinking the "and I'm not already following" aspect of the quote notification feature might be the issue here, if you are already following a thread when someone quotes you then you won't receive a notification about the quote. In this thread for instance you are following the thread so you didn't receive a notification when I quoted you. Try unfollowing this thread ( button at the top right ) and then I'll quote you again and see if you receive a notification for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saru Posted July 18, 2013 #7 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I'll see if I can quote myself and get a notification. I'm not sure that will work, but here's a quote from me to see if it triggers a notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received your notification. Thanks. So, I just need to unfollow any topics I post on, if I want to receive a notification that I've been quoted. Okay, not a prob. Thank you again! Peace be with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d e v i c e Posted July 18, 2013 Author #12 Share Posted July 18, 2013 And, I just realized something else, I needed to check the box that says "Notification method to use for replies to followed topics". If that isn't checked, then you simply wont be notified. So, it's a case of checking both "Notification method to use for replies to followed topics" and "Notify me when someone quotes my posts [and I'm not already following]" if you want to be notified when someone quotes any post you make, Mr Saru. So, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orcseeker Posted July 19, 2013 #13 Share Posted July 19, 2013 You do not have "Notify me when someone quotes my posts (and I'm not already following)" enabled on your notification settings. Ok thanks Saru. Ill check them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
