'Enable push notifications'?

[swee'pea99]

Apparently CC wants me to do this. What 'notifications' would it push? Have to say my knee-jerk response to any such messages is no thanks, but will I be missing out?

I was wondering exactly the same thing. Can Sean assist?

I always say no, I have no idea what they are, but use the assumption that if a web-site has to ask my permission for something, then it is not something I would want ...

As it's a cycling forum I've assumed it means you get a notification of when and where someone got off and pushed. You can then make a judgement call whether this needs mentioning on the open forum or not.

It's a new feature - CC can now push alerts to your browser notification screen and add a little icon to your browser tab to show you have an alert. It's goes in the direction of CC -> browser, but not the other way. There's no privacy issue, it's just there for convenience if you want to use it. You should have an option to defer or opt-out completely.

Thanks Shaun. What, you mean 'someone's liked/replied to your post' sort of thing? Or what, if not?

It IS. I just got one on my phone from someone 'liking' one of my posts. I get a lot of likes and 'mentions' so I would constantly be getting distracted by the notifications. I'm pretty good at keeping up with what is going on without being reminded so I am going to make 'push' push off!

Right. Ta. Off. Defo.

I thought it would take 10 or 15 minutes for someone to post that, not 10 or 15 seconds - ha ha!

Well, now you can get more than mere likes, the new ones are called reactions.
How will you manage to keep count?

Maybe your settings got reset during the migration to the new software.
Please check them under your account settings.
