Notifications: incomplete!

[former_member186338]

In most cases I am answering questions, not asking. And in this case if somebody will answer the same question (including the discussion author) I will not get any notifications. Also if somebody comment not my answer I will also have no notifications.

It makes notifications useless to me!

Sample:

[former_member186338]

In general, what I need if I answered or commented some question:

Notifications on:

1. If anybody answered or commented this question or commented any answer under original question.

2. If anybody edited anything in the question or answers.

3. If anybody deleted some answer.

I need notification on any changes of content under and including original question.

I also need notification if some answer is accepted as correct answer.

I do not need notifications on likes and up/down votes.

Except for I don't need a notification when someone accepts an answer - I agree. Up/down vote notifications are not needed at all. Likes are more important for the blogs (e.g. if someone I follow liked a blog then maybe I should read it).

For the questions we need to know all the replies that happened after ours. This whole separation of comments/answers is not working out IMHO.

I mentioned "accept" just to ensure that the topic author had tested and agreed with the proposed solution.

P.S. In some rare cases I propose the solution that I am not 100% sure 🙂

"Accept" in this case add some experience for me...

I understand completely where you are coming from, it's just my activity stream is terribly polluted as it is. 🙂 (Just today I found that I'm also notified when someone starts following a tag. Why would anyone care about this?)

Based on my experience with SDN/SCN, in most cases OP either replies with "thanks" or some comment or never closes the question. It was actually rather rare to see the discussion closed without any comment. About the same percentage of questions ended up with "it worked, thanks" but no closure. Go figure. I guess we'll need to see how things go on New SCN. So far not a lot of people seem to follow up on the questions at all.

I am not using followed activity stream at all for the evident reasons. I am talking about notifications. Hopefully sometimes I will start receiving notifications by e-mail and I want to receive useful info.

"It was actually rather rare to see the discussion closed without any comment." - about 10% (my experience)

Notifications are part of the Activity Stream now, I was referring to it in general:

It's just the naming 🙂

I want to say that I am not using:

"Activities" tab...

Jelena I am pushing for a Notification when an "Accept_answer" occurs. It would not pollute your Activities further.
