This is happening to me too. Posts & forums I've never subscribed to. Over 100 notifications today. Absolute bull. Site has gone to the absolute dogs. It's pretty much unusable these days.

At what point are you guys going to call it quits & roll back the mistake you made?

I spent weeks trying to solve a similar issue before new site launched and eventually had to turn off email notifications, I was getting email notifications at un godly hours from threads I'd posted in, weeks previously, threads I hadn't, even threads actually closed. I was also getting repeated PM email notifications for PM"s already checked and responded too. I continue to stop any email notifications and just bookmark any threads I'm currently following.

I also got caught up on that recent attack we're some idiot exploited the flag button feature, this clown was literally being blocked and setting up new user names live, it went on for hours with many users losing points that were never reinstated.

This latest notification nonsense are coming from a user (I believe not at fault) from a particular thread within a forum, the thread I'm not following nor have posted on. Yesterday it was a different user, different thread within same forum.

Last night about 8 after 12.30 am. Screenshot of some, last one, ligitimate, from your goodself 😉

I've turned off every notification type.

Still getting pop ups and still getting the red numbers over the bell

can you just fix it please, its **** ridiculous at this point.

Not in Kansas

Sigh...I'm trying to hang in there, but this new issue is highly irritating. I've everything turned off, but still getting hundreds of notifications in red and pop-ups also.

Inquitus

Arrrggggghhhhhhhhhh, someone in power fúcking do something!

SouthWesterly

Suddenly got notifications at the weekend.

Getting pop ups today.

The site is well and truly screwed.

Inquitus

This worked for me.

Go to parent "forum" of thread, select "follow" then select "unfollow". You need to do it for each forum. Notifications and popups went away.

This will probably break the transfer of my subbed forums, but the notifications from busy forums was driving me mad. I'm in a better place now.

This issue arose when the My Forums lists were uploaded to Vanilla recently. Office are aware - see main Feedback site issues threads.

Had having no notifications for about a year on the old site. Then had random notifications of old posts for another 6 months. Closed old account, trying to stop it.

New boards, no notifications since it launched. Suddenly now started overnight.

This is the only forum I've ever had these problems with.

Bawnmore

Seeing the exact same same here. Have just tried the Follow/Unfollow workaround on the offending forums, so will see how that goes. Started earlier in the week also.

Plus 1 to the unwanted Notifications issue.

It is,sadly,yet another element which is making use of Boards.ie a challenge rather than a communications tool of easy use.

It is surely a poor reflection on the New Architecture itself as opposed to Boards management.

Either way,it is not doing much for customer layalty or satisfaction ? 😥

Decided to see what's happening here now as I haven't been on in a few days, and the first thing I'm greeted by (on Desktop) is a load of pop-up notifications in the bottom right of the screen - most from threads I don't remember, and I never have notications on for anyway.

I would complain, but what's the point. It's just the latest example it seems of the complete balls-up that was made of this site in the last 2 months.

AllForIt

^^ Yeah same here, at least they disappear after a second or two. I've turned off all notifications but I'm still getting them. Maybe I should turn them all on - and see if that has the reverse effect :D

Goes to show how infrequently I'm using this site now, I forgot to reply saying this is working for me (I'm following/unfollowing as I see them, I can't remember all the forums I was following either). Thanks again.

end of the road

is there an issue with the email notification service?

i haven't been getting any emails since yesterday dispite threads i have book marked having new replies.

i have the notification emails on bar the when someone replies to a thread you are taking part in, as that means i get an email for every single comment which is too many.

also dispite reporting boards as not spam, emails keep going into my spam folder.

expectationlost

this isn't a minor problem because of lack of 'my posts' not making use of the site easy.

Discodog

This issue is now making the site useable again. Why can't they give us a simple way to turn of all notifications ?

seems to be back working now.

Vicxas

Still seeing this.

anyone from boards going to bother their arse looking at this?

humberklog

This is brutal. Pop-ups covering the phone screen. Annoying on lap top. And I've everything switched off.

How have so few effed it up for so many?

Bobby42

1000 notifications, pop up notifications taking up half the screen, will ye be looking to sort soon? Unusable at the moment.

Deeper Blue

Not sure about anyone else but I'm no longer having this issue. I'm only getting notified if someone quotes me, which is what I want.

TheValeyard

Seems to be sorted.

GLaDOS

Is there any way to have the "Bookmark this discussion" box under the reply box unticked by default? I don't want every thread I post in bookmarked.

Not natively.

The script package in my signature (desktop only) does have a setting for this. Install it, then click the settings gear-wheel in the title bar and uncheck the "Automatically set Bookmark this discussion" box. It'll be unchecked on every page then
