Quote - hey I deleted all of my Artists favs and yet I am STILL getting notices?! o0 MAKE THEM STOP!!!

Seriously are these dang things stuck in there??? I don't like this! :(

Ariana

Ariana,

When did you remove your favorites? The batch job had an issue and hasn't run for 2 days so I know you havent' gotten any new notifications in two days. The ones you are seeing on your page (the older events) are probably ones you got before you removed artists from your favorites list correct?

Something is going on with the notifications batch job but the programmers are working on it, FYI

Okay the programmers should have the issue fixed so notifications are back up and running:)

The last notice I rec'd was 4 hours ago!!!

I have 0 fav artist notifications on. Does this mean I have to actually remove ALL of my fav artists to make this stop? Stacey this is an ill concieved idea not to allow us to delete these notices, or to opt out of them all together. I don't want them at all. Weither I don't have to look at them they exist, therefore they mess with my mind!

IT should be able to install a delete or an opt out feature for gallery notices. One thing is this feature only for the galleries? Or is it also meant for site notices about sales, or special events too? Because I am not clear on that. Please don't consider this a request!!! Just asking.

I would much rather have the e-mails back. At least those can be discarded after viewing the pictures!

One person's improvement is literally turning out to be another person's bane!

HugZ!

Okay I thought you meant you removed favorite artists altogether not just the email notification. You will still receive them because that is not based on your email settings at the current time.

I'm sorry the notifications page bothers you but it's your choice to view the notification events or not and at this current time it will remain like it is, I'm sorry.

Right now it's just for the galleries but soon it will include other notifications from other areas of the site.

OK, I understand that this darn notices cannot be deleted.... BUT GADS PLEASE STOP THEM!

I mean I have a TON more of them and I deselected every artist I fav'd from getting notices when they post. So WHY am I getting them??? And I still have notices coming to me in the last hour!

Stacey please listen to the site members. This has to stop. If there is someone I really want to see posts, I couldn't find them because some members, even ones you have fav'd in the past, post the limit everyday! Not that that is bad. But I don't need a notice of it.

I know that you feel that these can be ignored. Well, the site should be friendly to us, not have a lot of nuisance features that we cannot modify or opt out of! I remember you made us clear out a lot of e-mail once (*and I did not want to lose all of my DM, and OOT links to my freebies), because it was creating clutter and wasting bandwidth. Well this is so much worse when multiplied by the thousands of members getting bots on gallery images!!!

I fail to see why members concerns on this is not important to RO and the team. Please reinstate the emails, because it seems that the site is getting messier and messier by the day. I want my RO to be pretty and functional! Not have a lot of geegaw junk on it. OMGDDSS!!! Can you imagine if I had linked my cell to the site notifications!? That would be a potential mess. At least with e-mails we had the ability to delete them.

OK, seriously. I love RO. But you see I am not the only one unhappy with this feature. So why is an 'OPT OUT' or 'Receive E-mails Only' not an option for us? This is a fair request. And it puts the ability to manage our accounts back into our hands where it should be. There are some artists I want to be notified of because they post rarely, but are worth viewing when they do. Then there are others that post so often it would be a full time job just to keep up!

PLEASE take this request seriously and have the IT people fix this. 

In the meantime I am going to un-fav everyone of my fav'd artists and hopefully that will fix this until the site bug is repaired. This will stop the notices right?

One last thing, does these notices apply to any other feature except the galleries? I mean this is not how RO will send us other notices as well??? Please let me know on that.

Sorry for the rant, but "It exists, therefore it is angst!" or something like that.

Have a good day Stacey! (*ya know this is about the notices, not you!) :D I still wuvs ya!!!

HugZ!
Ariana

I would post a SS, but I would not want to hurt anyone's feelings, ya know what I mean?
~A~

Stacey please listen to the site members.

yes. the TWO that have complained..... (and one of those was a passing comment).

obivously this is a HUGE ISSUE.... sigh

*(compared to the chat still not working right, the search being next to useless, the editor double spacing bug on line breaks (now into it's 2nd year!), the image upload problem where if you hit preview it counts as your upload...... aaand so on....)

Any fix for this?

I'm using Opera 11.51 

This was fixed awhile back so I'm not sure why it's happening again but I've forwarded to the programmers:)

maybe it thought you were bored Stacey!? hehehehehehe....... :P

HuggerZ!
Me!

LOL, I'm a lot of things but bored is NEVER one of them heehee

:P ha!

right.

the turn OFF daily digest is not working. yesterday, I went to notifications, unchecked the box, got the red message saying my preferences were set.

and today, I get the daily digest. yay. so I've turned it off AGAIN. lets see if I get the ****ing thing tomorrow.

Let me know Khai.

BTW, I am discussing all the feedback from members with the team

the opt out is not working... I just checked and it's ticked again.

Tommy just did some changes so it should be now. Let me know:)

yup looks like it's holding now Stacey, thanks!

FYI In reviewing of all the feedback regarding the site notification email system, we've reintroduced gallery ebots and we will be looking at incorporating customizable options on the site notification page.

yes.. I thought it was strange going the "all or nothing" route when other that offer a digest version offer single emails or a digest....

aand here's a daily digest in my mail. I don't think the opt out is working ....

Dang, okay Khai let me get with Tommy when he gets in:(  Sorry

it stopped...until today...and it's back again. it's the daily unwanted digest!

and checking... yup I'm shown as not receiving them...

Yeah mine did too. uggggh. Going to Tommy's office now:)

He's at lunch but I'm sending him an email now to come see me when he gets back:)

Uh oh - summoned to the headmistresses office :biggrin:

2011-10-18 Notifications Summary for bagginsbill
There are zero (0) notifications to report for yesterday.

(Here's a hint)

def sendDailyDigest(items):

  # remainder of code that sends the digest goes here

BAGGINSBILL: HELLO!  ....

Reminds OLD geezer TallPockets of ''THE KEYSTONE COPS'' ....

SMILES .........

STACEYG: HELLO! ....

Q: Would OFTEN seeing ''waiting for qksz.net" and having this old man's web page 'freeze' up for LONG period of times, while TRYING to  peruse the MARVELOUS members' Galleries here at the Renderosity site, be considered an appropriate 'BUG' issue to report? ....

IF YES, T.P. is reporting such .... Q: ANY IDEAS on how to stop/fix/correct this 'issue'? .... THANKS, in advance, for ANY/ALL suggestions .... MUCH appreciated ....

btw: Sounds like this 'TOMMY' guy above has his work cut out for him after reading this entire thread and commentary .... (Even KHAI J BACH has some 'questions' about the setups involved in the 'notification' system, etc.  and T.P. read/saw earlier he used the 'F' word within a post of his .... TOS?) ....

My BEST to you and yours .... TallPockets

I'd like to report a bug. seems tallpockets editing window does random caps. can this be fixed? it's a shame he has to suffer this problem.

as to my swearing since I did use the Language advisory as per TOS, please mind your own business.

I'm having problems with rendo since the last change was implemented, it's so slow, with all the aff progs and links and the last to load is fb, is there an option to turn off fb rendo if you don't want it?

There have been a few times when I found looking for product just too slow and gave up!
Please help, it wasn't like this before so I don't know what happened.

If you use Firfox, there are numerous addons to get rid of the ads, the links and the social site links as well. NoScript and AdBlock are both very good. If you get the addon Stylish you don't even need to look at that "gag me" screaming cyan anymore ;).

Laurie

Think I'll have to go back to using firefox...thank you;)
