Notifications on Main Page


Recommended Posts

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.

The most recent is shown, and a number if there have been more than that one update.

Enjoy!

    • I remember when all games had demos; it was a normal thing, not a limited time promotion.
    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
