[Neil Jones]

To be honest I never paid much attention to "Joe Bloggs has liked your post" on the blue place, and I ultimately went out of my way to jump straight in so I didn't have to see them.

Then when I clicked on the home page by accident, I had about twenty notifications about people liking stuff I'd written sometimes a couple of months previously. Its nice to have your ramblings liked but I don't need to be told about it and I always know roughly how many likes I've racked up so I know if something else has been liked.

Quote notifications are a thing on some other forums and they annoy me. I don't really need to know you've quoted me, if I'm that interested in the discussion I'll stick my head back into the thread to be honest.

The only notifications I pay attention to are the "You have a new PM" ones, and everything else I'd just ignore. I even turned off browser/push notifications in Firefox as I hate them. Mobile/push notifications I can tolerate to an extent, as I don't live on my phone.

I would suggest if it ever becomes an option to be notified for quotes and likes, please it be controllable, so if the honourable contributor above wants to be bombarded that's up to them, and I can sit in silence.
