Welcome to the new Boards.ie platform - Version 1.0 :)

I cannot seem to see where I can unsubscribe to a thread - I am getting loads of new notifications in the bell

in the form of red dot with number of notification in white number - but i have not subscribed to them threads that I am receiving notifications for nor can I see them in my bookmarks nor have replied on the thread so I don't know why I am being notified about them . I only want to be notified of a thread I have subscribed to / followed / replied in to cut down these notifications, but when I open up the thread I cannot see an 'unfollow' button or any means to stop receiving notifications on the thread . any ideas?

Also , has the 'Tags' feature missing in 'New look Boards.IE' ? - I cannot see it any more .. and the threads have the latest replies showing first now instead of at the end as the old one. Can that be put back or do I change it in settings?

Ive 528 notifications this morning. Think I’ll spend the day looking through them all.

Jesus Christ the notifications!

All notification switched off and still getting them come on this is a joke at this stage on top of everything else.

It's bullshit. I'm getting popup notifications for threads that I've never even participated in. I've switched off all notifications in my preferences and I'm still getting bombarded.

It's been weeks now since the switch to Vanilla and, while there has been some improvement in some areas, the overall experience is still very poor. Search is very poor (although to be fair this was the case before too), there is no trace of "my forums" returning, the notifications are a pain, no "mark forum read" button and probably a lot I'm forgetting.

Popup notifications blocking up half the screen on mobile, can't even write a post half the time as the text field is filled by pop ups, can't get rid of them?

How do I find my posts? No link on profile?

thanks but that has not been updated since 13/8/21

Strangely enough, I am getting notifications for newly started threads in the genealogy forum

on desktop, all notifications settings are off, with no follows or bookmarks in the forum (and no posts or mentions in the threads)

843 notifications, just gonna see how many I can get until it’s fixed.

lol, I had to turn notifications off - having to sift thru multiple notifications of every new reply on one thread alone (87 for this thread, in one day), just to find even one reply on any other thread is ridiculous. This new notification system looks like it's customizable, but in actuality, it's not remotely workable.

Not nearly as bad as everyone else but, just got 2 notifications from a forum that I had been following on the old site haven't refreshed the follow settings on the new site. Checked follow settings, they're already set to "unfollow (only receive default notifications)". This is a total contradiction too, unfollow would mean you shouldn't be receiving any notifications let alone default, would default fall back on the setting in profile preferences; this is set to none though.

Think it might be time to let the boards legal team deal with these Vanilla toerags.
