Like notifications in private messages should be green not blue ๐Ÿ˜„

I strongly disagree. I think that PMs serve different purposes, with different levels of โ€œurgencyโ€ in different sites. While some sites might prioritize public topics over PMs, other might be heavily invested in PMs instead of public topics. Particularly for people who watch a large number of categories, I want to be able to see with one glance if I have a PM, without having to open and read the list of notifications. I think the small bit of UI noise is well worth itโ€ฆ

Ah, well. I donโ€™t have strong feelings about this and can get used to the existing functionality.

Will be interesting to see how the messaging functionality develops generally - it has alot of potential and Iโ€™m still learning how it fits in.

OK I just cleaned up PM notifications per:

https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/f9e5c49350be058179a5e50e986bd14253570f31

  • If you are mentioned/quoted/replied to on a message you are tracking, you will get a green notification.

  • If a pm gets a general reply and you are tracking it, you will no longer be notified.

  • If you are liked in a pm, you get a โ€œblueโ€ notification, which is not going to change

Past behavior was to always notify even if you were simply tracking and blue notifications for quotes/replies etc.

Just to clarify:

  • If you are mentioned/quoted/replied to on a message you are watching, you will get a green notification.
  • If a pm gets a general reply and you are watching it, you will get a green notification.
  • If you are liked in a pm, you get a โ€œblueโ€ notification, even if you are watching it.

Is that all correct?

Yes that is all correct.
