jnelsoninjax Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Can we please go back to the old way where "Follow Topic" is not enabled by default on every single post? I do not want to follow every post I make. ThaCrip 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick H. Supervisor Posted September 22, 2022 Supervisor Share Posted September 22, 2022 Yep, this happened after the notification settings were reset.

shockz Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 These seems counter productive... Facebook starting doing something like this and I practically ignore my notifications from them. I want my notifications to be related to my direct interactions, i.e someone replied to or liked something I said. I don't care if anyone else is posting, I read what I want to read and don't need a reminder unless I directly follow a topic on my own. Glad we can disable that here still, on sites like Facebook, it's just constant noise. foolsfolly 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want me to change something globally for everyone, for something you can change for yourself? Really, pinging me for this? Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn’t those settings have been honored and those who wanted it to follow by default, do it themselves instead of it changing globally? +Warwagon 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have said it devalues notifications. adrynalyne and ThaCrip 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted September 23, 2022 Administrators Share Posted September 23, 2022 The default behavior is to automatic follow what you reply to or start a topic. Our forum is far older than all the new settings that came later. When I register someplace else with IPB (or some other system) I am auto followed to topics I reply to or start. Take a few minutes to set them as you want, and let me decide how new members are alerted.. just like at other places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
