Notification levels - understanding and communicating category notification levels

[codinghorror (Jeff Atwood)]

@codinghorror

Broadly speaking, discourse only sends you a notification when someone is speaking directly to you. That is:

• they replied to your post
• they quoted your post
• they mentioned your @username
• they linked to your post

As far as arbitrarily being notified about specific topics or specific categories, use the bell icon on the topic or category and set it as you prefer.

Since I just wrote this reply, I’ll quote it again here. Still applies…

(Emails are only sent if none of your web browsers have touched the website in the last 10 minutes.)
