All "replies" now generating additional "notification"

[Richard F.]

Aloha,

Normally we have been getting email notifications of replies to followed posts, which is perfect. This morning, I ALSO had notifications for each reply in the Notification portion under the "bell" icon. Usually this is just reporting votes, quotes, and changes in rating. Never had these previous; and they will quickly overrun the usefulness of this feature.

Thanks for the quick response, but the issue is, and I'm sure many agree, we DO want the email notification of all replies, mentions, votes as in the past.

BUT, in the past, the on-site notifications did NOT include all replies, just the votes, mentions, and ranking changes, which was perfect.

NOW all of the replies are ALSO in the on-site notifications. These are overwhelming the votes and mentions when viewing the on-site list. Frankly, although I have been going to that list and deleting each of these replies, in hopes the issue would be addressed, I may decide to just ignore the list entirely, as it is quite tedious, given the number of posts/replies involved.

On site, you have the "Followed Discussions" tab to exclusively look at a list of replies, a second list under the notification list is not necessary. Votes and Mentions have no other way that I am aware to easily review. The email notification IS useful, as there are times when I watch for a response, and can easily check from that email, vs. opening the site on my phone, logging in, and checking for notifications there.

I hope this "update" is re-evaluated and either removed, or given a a second control to choose email, site, or both.
