Good Morning, is there anyway of not being notified of "acclaimed awards and the like"? It makes being involved annoying, when the bell has a number on it correlating to this stuff. If you don't open it, the number won't go away.
Since I have below zero interest in these "awards", can I opt out of being notified.....please, I find it very disruptive to the natural flow of communicating. Thank you Mark.
Hi Cheyenne. At the top right of the page, click on your avatar. On the menu to the right of it that appears, click on preferences.
Scroll down to "inbox notifications." Uncheck what you don't want to receive notices about.
All done!
Thanks, but I had tried that, it will not allow me to click on it because I had clicked "No" for the first question, which was "receive email or mobile notifications". I'll keep messing with it, but it doesn't appear to be giving me an option at this time.
If you have no checked on the first question on the first list, you should not be getting any notifications at all.
I mean notifications in the bell....I wish it wouldn't show me awards crap...lol....the number will stay on the bell unless I look at the notification.....maybe I know so little here there I can't explain myself correctly.....appreciate your help
This is what I do - I filter to only see my messages (that way I don't miss any). Read my messages and then select "Mark All Read". When I view, I only view the unread messages.
Unfortunately there is no way to opt out of such notifications on-site. As Jennifer-Quit mentions. Read the ones you want to look at and then when that's done you can mark the rest as read.

OK, that works....thanks!
Pity there isn't a way to tweak the system so that once you've read a particular blog/post/ ... the Freedom Train post, Daily Pledge (e.g.), you can opt out of notifications FROM IT in your inbox at that point. But I believe, because you're following the person who wrote the blog/conversation - no, wait. New experiment. If I mark the Freedom train post as "hidden." Then perhaps it will just hide the Freedom Train post just for today? Hmmm. Doubt it. If I find an answer I'll let ya'll know!
I am confused - on some of the blog/discussion/questions posts we have the option to "hide new activity" in the upper right corner and on others we do not have this option. Maybe Mark can explain the difference.
I believe it has to do on which screen you're on. If viewing and commenting from your INBOX, there is limited functionality and the actions are different than if you've clicked on the blog/conversation title itself and have drawn it upo. I'm not wording this at all well.
@giulia
Good addition. You are correct, some actions vary based on how you are
looking at the content.
