Controlling Alerts And Notifications

[Laurent]

Controlling how many alerts / notifications you receive is always some kind of goldilock dilemma:
You want to stay in the know, but you do not want to get constantly bombarded with attention-grabbing prompts.

First, some definitions:

• "alerts" are what you get on the web or via email.
• "notifications" are sent to the mobile app, on your phone.

Now, let's get that just right...

In the mobile app, tap Menu in the bottom right corner:



Then tap Account:



Then tap Settings:



Then tap Preferences and Notifications:



We have arrived! On this screen, locate Content options, tick or untick options to your taste:

Note: If you "watch" something, you will receive alerts / notifications about it.



Then locate Receive a notification when someone... on that same screen and decide what you would want to be alerted about:



Finally, tap Save and you are set!

I wish replying in the original thread was an option but since it's not (@Laurent )

As far as controlling alerts and notifications, I'm happy to get alerts when I log in to the forum but would prefer NOT to get e-mails every time someone responds. Is there any way to separate those two items, or are the functions identical? (I don't use my phone for this, so notifications are a non-issue.)

Still getting e-mails.

I used my super powers and moved your question over here, @Marion R. (407699456) .
I also re-opened this thread so that other users may also provide feedback.

Now, to answer your question: If you uncheck each box that says "email" in your preferences, you will not receive emails.
