Hello @ecency, what's this new thing?
Regarding the notifications idea I mention in the post and comments above... While hopefully waiting for a solution I came up with this:
- open any post or page
- click the notifications button
- scroll all the way down to the oldest "not-acted-upon" notification
- right-click to open it in a new tab or window
- read, reply if needed
- close that tab/window
Doing that, the old page was still there just as I left it: notifications popout open and scrolled to where I left it so I could quickly open the next, and next, and next posts or click the tiny blue dot to mark something as dealt with, then scroll up a tiny bit every 10 or so notifications to get at the newer ones. Very little time wasted on scrolling!
Today that stopped working. Now when I get back to the original page, the notification popout is still open, but the list has refreshed itself and I have to scroll all the way down again which takes anywhere between 5 and 15 seconds. 😿
Cheers, and have a great weekend! I'm not expecting a quick reply on this, having written it on a Saturday afternoon :)
It was always working such way, notification list auto updates if while you are scrolling there is new notification that comes in. We can perhaps improve that logic as well while adding different sorting options
Please, pretty please, do! ❤️
For me, it never did update while scrolling or viewing another page until today. I just came back to say it's ANNOYING. I scrolled and scrolled and was near my goal: the oldest of the notifications - and it refreshed on me so I had to start over! That has never happened to me before. And I'd be very happy if it never happened again.
Imagine someone like me... 230+ notifications to go through. Even if I use your "latest first" idea, I'll have to scroll and scroll to get to them all, because the ones I do want to get at get farther and farter down the list the more new ones come in
. Age before beauty, please ;)
