How do I shut off notifications from subscriptions in DU4?

[highplainsdem]

Am I going to have to unsubscribe? I really preferred having separate notifications on the page for subscriptions, mail, and replies to my posts. Even with the forum I host, I check it often and don't need to look at every new OP instantly.

I thought when I first read that we could subscribe to DUers as well as forums that it would be a nice feature...but NOT when it can mean the My Stuff button being lit up constantly and having to click that button to find out which of the different types of notifications it might be.

Any way you can turn those notifications back to what they used to be?

And having the DU mail notification as a banner across the page was especially helpful, I thought. Especially if it's about a mistake in a post that was just made that can be cleaned up immediately, before there are multiple replies on the board from people who noticed the same problem.

1. I can help with the subscription part.

Go to your account settings in My Stuff.

Scroll down to My Stuff notifications.

The first option is:

Show "My Stuff" subscription notifications
The "My Stuff" button will notify you whenever someone starts a new discussion in a forum you are subscribed to, or whenever a person you are subscribed to starts a new discussion

Make sure that's a no and that will fix that.

2. Thanks! But that option isn't available in Skinner mode, which has NO

options for My Stuff notifications. I had to switch to the Default mode, which I dislike even more than Skinner mode, to find those settings.

And I found I had ALREADY set that to NO subscription notifications, during one of the times I was using DU4 during the beta test. So taking care of that setting in Default mode has zero effect on Skinner mode.

Sigh...

Can you see those notification settings in Skinner mode?

3. No, that feature isn't available in Skinner Mode.

I just checked and it's not there for me either.

Perhaps they can add it? The alerts for forum subscriptions is truly annoying.

4. Thanks for checking! I hope the admins can fix this problem.
