Question

We should upgrade the notification thingy with a *ding* sound or something like that just to alert us better if we're doing something else. It will be much easier to go with! Anyone agree? :)

Answer 1

It could be a nice option to turn on and off, because I get a lot of notifications and I don't want a ding every few seconds. xP

Answer 2

yea it would

Answer 3

@preetha what do you think? :)

Answer 4

It would be cool, but ya. The ding would be annoying. I also know that when you get a notification, the little owl at the top of the tab turns orange.

Answer 5

Yea. it turns orange anytime you get a notifiocation

Answer 6

Wait what owl turns orange? o.O

Answer 7

Ohhh the tab one. I noticed it but dismissed it ._. xD

Answer 8

lol @EclipsedStar

Answer 9

Are you saying we need The Machine That Goes Bing?

Answer 10

I was thinking something that sounded more like this

Answer 11

But only for like a couple seconds. But, you know. We could do a classic ding.

Answer 12

What about different sounds for different things?

1 specific sound for notification about a new fan, testimonials.
Another for when someone replies to a post
And a last one when someone tags you.

Answer 13

different types of mexican music ;)

Answer 14

or we could just stick to different types of dings. But the mexican music sounds more "colourful" than a ding.

Answer 15

We should be able to chose which sound goes with which. But honestly I would have none set up because I don't want my computer to be playing sounds all day long :P lol

Answer 16

lol Ikr. I don't want some loud trumpets busting out my ear drum.

Answer 17

Sort of like how we have different ring tones for different people. Different notification sounds for different notifications.

Answer 18

Answer 19

Just discovered the owl turns orange XD

So we can choose the sound we want? lololol. That would be fun, or may be annoying. I guess it depends on one's viewpoint.

Answer 37

:P

Tbh, I get so many notifications, I rather have it tell me how many I have at the top of the tab. It only shows that when you are just viewing a subject but not when you are viewing a post .-.

Answer 38

Yes, I don't really like the idea of having a *ding!* *ding!* *ding!* every 2 minutes. I don't think the tab needs to display the amount of notifs, tho.

Answer 39

^ I mean, you already have the number of notifs you have on the page itself.

Answer 40

i don't know how to do that "Originally posted by" thing, but @Unanimoose originally said something about turning the *ding* off, which is a really good idea in my opinion

Answer 41

Right. You'd have the option of having the ding, or not.

Answer 42

@shadeyghost here, this is the chrome extension for the "Originally Posted By", only if you have Chrome though. http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/5222cee8e4b06211a67f2e10
Then this will appear on the os after you download it. http://prntscr.com/6dg5si

Answer 43

As of 2012, this suggestion has been suggested before and I'm not if it is still under review as mentioned in http://goo.gl/1Zdn6E

Answer 44

Wait? There was a extension?? I thought people actually quoted it.... *slaps forehead* silly me

Answer 45

@k12andstudyislandhelp lol

Answer 46

...You mean facepalm, right? Not "slaps forehead" o.O xD

Answer 47

No, facepalm is for shame, regret, and other lasting things. Slaps forehead is for "doh" moments and is short and sharp. So for realizing there is a Chrome extension, it is slaps forehead and not facepalm.
