Forums - Website Topics - Why does it give you notification when you comment?

When I reply to my own comment on an articale trying to reply to someone else why does it give me a notfication? It's not a big deal it's just kinda weird.

Because the system doesn't care about who is replying, only that your comment has a new reply.

It's the same on the forum side with quotes, if you quote yourself you will get a blue icon.

Yeah, that's just stupid. It gets me every time. I always think someone has replied to me. Another item to the list of site issues?

Except it's a lot rare to quote your own post than it is to reply to your own comment. Replying to your own comment is more like posting in a thread you created than it is to quoting your own post, because replies can a thread-like thing where others can comment.

Not saying it's not stupid to get the blue icon when quoting yourself, of course. It's just less noticeable because it doesn't happen as often.

Don't kill the messenger, I'm only giving my opinion on why it happens .

And let's not forget that this is a new feature that trucks has been able to add. Just be thankful that we now get notifications.

Why does it always rain on me



I never noticed that, it is kinda weird but no big deal.



                                                                                     

I get it all the time and it's quite annoying that the system doesn't care who it is, hell I've even gotten a note hours later that tries telling me I got the same response that I had already read hours before, it's very ancient to have something that slow and confused tbh.



Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"

I forgot that they just added it in a couple of months ago. It's great that it's there but I was just giving some advice on how to make it better. Not a big deal like I said earlier :D

Oh, didn't mean to sound mean. Sorry! And yeah, I had already forgotten the notifications weren't always there. :P It's great to have them, just a minor inconvenience with them here.
