We’ve been excited to see such an increase in activity here, but I have heard from a few people a request for fewer email notifications. I hope I can help. We did disable some extra notifications that were going out.
If you want to be notified when someone responses to something you posted or a category you are watching, set Email me when I am quoted, replied to, my @username is mentioned, or when there is new activity in my watched categories, tags or topics to “only when away”
I hope this helps! Sorry for the deluge of emails.
Thanks for the update Alan, but I don’t mind the emails. Easy enough to handle on my end or by changing notification preferences as you outline and a sure sign of conversation in the OEGlobal community!
Fully agreed! While “we” may not mind these notifications, it’s easy to understand that among registered users on the platform, a large percentage probably never expected to receive that many emails. Chances are, we might have ended up with posts using the same subject line @cogdog used. In the end, it might have generated rancour. (In fact, I’ve received a flurry of such emails based on an OE-related mailing-list, this past weekend.)
So this is an efficient way to preempt this type of problem.
The other key to managing your experience in OEG Connect is to set notification levels for specific topics or categories. Look for the Bell icon and change to get more or no notifications for activity.
