One more

One more thing (and I might just be getting picky here) when middle clicking to open a notification in a new tab on the forums, the menu stays open so you can open a bunch of threads all at once, whereas on the front page, the notifications menu slides back in every time. Any chance of keeping it open on clicks?

Thanks!

Done

Anyway else experiencing this? Am running latest version of Chrome and the hyperlinks on the notifications dropdown don't fire. They do when I go into Forums / Notifications.

Oops...overlooked that... will be fixed asap

It would be nice if you guys did something with OS X Mountain Lion's Notification Center as well. Websites can show alerts through Safari 6.

and I think Notifications work with Chrome as well now

EDIT: Yeah they do they show in the Notification Center options

Luckily I found this thread because I wanted to make a suggestion to modify the way notifications are displayed!

Currently when I click to view the notifications list, I see something like this...

Many of those notifications are for the same article, and I don't know which belong to that same article. Can you change it so it condenses all those notifications and I see one notification for each comment thread? For example...

PmRd and 5 others have replied to a comment you made in "Firefox for Windows 8 gets new status update."

This makes the most sense because when you click one notification, you'll read the first reply to your comment, and all the other replies below it until the end of the comment thread. If you made a comment somewhere else for that article, it would be another notification. I'd like it this way instead of a single notification per article because I'm not gonna reread all the other comments for that article every time I click a notification for it (and hence I won't re-encounter/find my own comments somewhere else in the comment section for that article). The way it's currently set up, I have to blindly click each notification entry to go through them all.

As for sorting this new setup of notifications, each of these combo notifications would be ordered by the latest comment made. However you'd see the username for the first unread comment in reply to your own comment.

If this isn't very clear, I can see if I can make a Greasemonkey User Script to show what I mean.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      By WaltC · Posted

      I can barely recall getting web results from a file search... I must've turned it off long ago. 26H2 is Insider's Preview build 26300.8697, which I am running, atm. It is not available for people running the standard commercial builds of Windows--only for the beta test Insider's group. But anyway, as mentioned in the thread, this feature has been around for a long time...

      Speak for yourself. I saw it on Feedly, came here to read it, and did read it until the steps to activate. I skipped them to read the last paragraph. I knew it was probably not "the most requested feature", but knowing Neowin, I knew the article was going to talk about a feature nonetheless. I've seen Neowin in its best and worst.
    • I restored the default settings to Secure Boot. Big mistake
