Question

Unfollow feature?

Answer 1

I have posted about this before. It would be great if we could "unfollow" from notifications on a particular question using an "unfollow" button.

Answer 2

Yea it can be annoying sometimes when a post goes viral and you get a new reply notification every 5 seconds.

Answer 3

agreed

Answer 4

That is why I'm not writing anything on that away party for danny,Notifications xD

Answer 5

like now

Answer 6

@dumbsearch2 , can u add this feature to your app of OS?

Answer 7

I doubt Sean could do that...
The notifications are a server sided.
And there is no API or anything for him to do it.

Answer 8

oh...

Answer 9

Yea, what @opcode said.
I couldn't put this in TUOSA.

I could hide the notifications which they have "unfollowed" though, if you have the extension... maybe this would work

Answer 10

Oh yeah. You could have an extension that detects the thread URL?
So maybe a script that detect the thread ID? So like: 51b169dae4b05b167ed3143d is detects it removes the element and -1 the notification? Of course they have to click the un-follow button first.
But it would slow down the site... Just saying...

Answer 11

Yup.
It works "data-id="51b8b41ab9719cd6defb8625"...
Sean can make it into a extension.

Answer 12

Sure I could do this.
I know that it would lag the site even more for people with the extension installed, checking all the time if the user has a notification that should be removed (display:none in CSS or maybe just remove it ENTIRELY from the DOM), so that's why I don't think this would be a good idea.
