Introducing notifications

Question

Hello everyone,

I'm happy to let you know that we have introduced notifications on TibiaQA. You can now get instant visibility into some crucial events: new answers on your questions, new comments in your discussions, receiving upvotes and downvotes, and answer getting selected as the best.

The notifications replaced the activity/history on your user profiles. They will no longer be displayed.

Please let us know if you encounter any problems with the new notifications.

Known limitations:

• The notifications do not display on small resolutions for now (mobile phones) FIXED

Please also let us know what kind of new notifications would you like to see. We are currently planning on adding a notification when

• your question is closed
• your post is edited by someone else

Anything else you would like to be notified about? Let us know!

Best,
TibiaQA.com team

Answer 1

I loved the system, especially having the notification when a new thing happens on your account. In practice (for me) I find it a bit harder to look back on past questions and reply to things that people have said. Is there any way we could still have the old 'history' part on our account page while still having the notification system you implemented?

Thanks for the feedback, Severblade. Can you explain what are the difficulties with the new notifications? They contain more information on activities in the posts where you participated, so I'm curious to hear what could be improved.

On the previous system you had to go to your account page to see what was happening. On the new one you can see you have a Notification which is really great. But the box is really small, you cant expand it where as the old system you had large history window that you could scroll through. I feel like a ahole. Apologies

If there was a way to open those notifications on a new page, would that help?

Yeah that would be fantastic. I really feel bad saying things like this because its easy for me to say 'can you/add do this' without knowing how much work goes into doing adding things but the ability to view the notifications on a separate page would be great

Answer 2

Really nice option, I have some time retired from all about Tibia, but I enter some times and is nice see all the progress on my old Q/A.
