Notification Icon Changes

aaros 8 years ago updated by Digby (Community Manager) 7 years ago 6 1 duplicate

Here's one possible way to make the notifications area more functional for users:

Separate notification icons for:

  • Comments
  • Notes/personal messages
  • Content from people you watch
  • Favorites and watches

This is necessary because comments are a much higher priority for users to keep track of and respond to, but are highly outnumbered by favorites; the notifications you care about will get lost in the noise of people favoriting your artwork.


Alternatively you could make the notification icon a hover-over menu like this:

(excuse the crudeness of the design)

this! also provide filtering by type of notification in the notification view itself:

I've posted some similar suggestions that would also improve this same issue:

Tho I don't like the dropdown notification how it is right now, it'd be much better if it showed the number of different new notifications like you suggested (atm I don't even use it because no way to tell how many new notifications and which are new)

well it looks like some things here should be merged :P

I don't think so, I haven't seen suggestions that cover exactly what I'm suggesting here elsewhere so far

Agree 100%!

I really need separate notification types, there's just too much clutter to filter through atm.

We've been having discussions about the way to help users see notifications they care most about; this might be the easiest way to do that. We'll be talking to the developers in the future to see what's reasonable.
