Follow topic enabled by default?


Recommended Posts

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.

Yep, this happened after the notification settings were reset. You can go into your account settings>notification settings and select the following options:

I know how to stop them, I just don't want them to be enabled by default, is that something @DaveLeggor @Steven P.can fix?

You want me to change something globally for everyone, for something you can change for yourself? Really, pinging me for this? Lol.

Uh, I'm not the only one who is saying something. It was better the way it was before,

I don’t think it was reasonable to have it turned on for everyone, not respecting their original settings. Do you? Couldn’t those settings have been honored and those who wanted it to follow by default, do it themselves instead of it changing globally?

Ya it was annoying the #### out of me. I changed the settings now thanks to Nick H.. 

 

As others have said it devalues notifications.

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.

    • so you just moved data to onedrive? Or did you upgrade the disk? I see multiple options either actual SSD or NVME options on amazon for around 50 bucks.. If you are low on space, and after a cleanup/purge of you stuff you don't need your still low it would be good idea to upgrade to bigger drive.  As to /sageset:65535, I don't think that value is valid https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/cleanmgr Displays the Disk Cleanup Settings dialog box and also creates a registry key to store the settings that you select. The n value, which is stored in the registry, allows you to specify tasks for Disk Cleanup to run. The n value can be any integer value from 0 to 9999. For more information, see Registry key information. So I would guess trying to use such a high value wouldn't store your settings.. You sure do not need  to use sageset or sagerun to run the disk cleanup..  That is for running it later with the same setting you pick when you set it.

    • We now know why Nvidia blocked yet another review, the new RTX 5050 is apparently terrible by Sayan Sen With its latest RTX 5000 series of GPUs, Nvidia has not been transparent with how its cards perform. The company did not ship review drivers for the RTX 5060 on launch day and has repeated the same deed with the new RTX 5050 as well. For those who may not have followed, Nvidia unveiled the GeForce RTX 5050 last month for $249 and released the Game Ready driver for the card this month with version 576.88. As such, the RTX 5050 has now been tested by Korean site Quasar Zone where the GPU has been compared against other cards that are priced around that same bracket. The site has found that Nvidia's new entry-level offering is worse than Intel's Arc B580, a card that launched around six months ago for the same price. As you can see in the image above, the Arc B580 was slightly faster on average. The biggest gap between the two was on Path of Exile 2. Another point in favor of the Arc GPU is that it has 12 Gigs of video memory whereas the RTX 5050 only has 8 GB. The 5050 was also pitted against Nvidia's last gen RTX 4060 as well as AMD's RX 7600, both of which are also 8 Gig cards. The 7600 is often found at around $250 these days while the RTX 4060 frequents around $275. The RTX 5050 is essentially neck and neck with the 4060 and is ever so slightly faster than the RX 7600. Once again this just highlights that Nvidia is essentially giving the same kind of performance that Intel and AMD GPUs have provided since last year or so. In fact, if we consider the Radeon RX 6600 and 6650 XT GPUs, which have been available for around $180 to $220 in the past, it becomes clearer just how bad of a value the RTX 5050 is as those 6000 series AMD cards probably get pretty close to the 5050 in rasterization throughput. Chances of something like "Fine Wine" are also slim given that the RTX 5050 just does not seem to have the hardware resources to pull off something like that later in this lifespan. If anything, we are more likely to see that happen from the Intel B580 GPU or AMD's $299 RX 9060 (there is already evidence of that). Source and images: Quasar Zone
