notifications this new board shows

I come to the site
i look at new notifications.....  ok ,, i get it now.. the notifications is saying people have comments to a thead of mine.
Its a useless feature if you ask me... however....

i go to my thread
i read the comments and move on.

i keep on seeing new notifications pertaining to a thread i already viewed.

it appears this new board is set up where you have to manually acknowledge each individual notification by not going to the thread but you must go to a different tab called notifications to make it stop.

seems features like this are likely tied to facebook or something.....?

if we we are expected tolerate the fact that 66.6% of all information from nearly  a 1/4 of a century  and  over 2 thousand years of combined knowledge become missing,, the moving parts we have now should not be in error to this level of simplicity.  If i read a thread, my notifications should "self manage",, thats why we went to all this new social media platform,, right..?  its supposed to be superior to everything else.

What we have now is a board with words... and no supporting substance.

Relax man.

This forum isn't tied to Facebook or social media at all. The forum is still it's own, stand alone entity like it always has been. The software was updated to make it more user friendly and attractive to new members who tend to use social media. The notifications are to make it easier for people to keep track of their replies, quotes, likes and the like.

All of the same content from the start of this forum is still on this forum. Nothing has been lost. Nothing has been deleted. Nothing is missing. Some of the pictures are missing, but they are in process of fixing that.

Take off the tinfoil hat. There are no conspiracies, spies, or coverups going on here. Just a new format and new features.
It's Gumby's fault.

LOL!

Build a wall around FTBCF to keep the russians from meddling with our pictures!!

I can still go back and find my posts from like 2004. Pics are, as Shawn says...a little shaged up yet, but anyone who's anyone has all their old shiznit saved, or ought to, especially technical shiznit. I've got a whole binder full of stuff I've printed off from here.

I should point out that Photobucket is responsible for a lot of those missing pics

You're absolutely right. The only things that are missing that we can do anything about are the attachments.

I should also mention; if you go into the notifications tab, and click "Mark all mentions as read," it will clear the notifications without addressing them individually.
