Bell alerts go hyperactive

[Priscilla_the_Pinup]

(Screens attached)

I have all 3 alerts unmuted in my profile settings.
With only one action in the bell alert, the thing keeps popping up and dinging over and over and over...only 1 activity in the alert. Now my windows notification center is backed up with over 20 of this alert repeating itself.

It pops up / advances the windows notification center more frequently when I am active on my keyboard. If I just sit and time it, it is every 45-60 seconds, not consistent. It makes me think you have planted a virus on me (I know you haven't, but that is the feeling...)

I am sitting right here and I am busy. I will get to it...but I like to now when a NEW something happens, which is why I thought I could leave the alert unmuted.

Let me know how else I can help you improve this. For now I will just mute all alerts.

and so on and so on... Time stamps in file names

It has popped up two more times in less than the minute it took me to write and upload this quick reply = 3 times in one minute.

It's like it knows I am clicking "submit"

Well pass it to devs and see the issue. did not happen before.

Hi Pimp -
To be sure, you wrote "did not happen before"...and I am telling you that This has always been the performance of this system for me. I finally get enough attention on my posts that this is now more interference than help.

I can make a 1:00 minute screen cap live action to demonstrate this issue if it will help trouble shoot.

UPDATE in witnessed behavior:

With only the "bell notification muted" checked/ activated in the profile settings, the dinging noise still occurs annoying and repeatedly ( I suppose because "Browser Notifications" are not muted?)... but there is no numeral indicator at the bell alert graphic, top right - that is the only change made by muting bell notification...

If I check mark all of the notifications to be muted then whenever I LOOK to check my stats, there is no numeric indicator so I think I have no activity, but if I select "see all" in the notifications drop down I will see all of the unread notifications.

I have run antivirus/ antispyware and I am fairly confident I don't have an exploit underway on my end (which could gum up my browser)

Windows 11

I will add this to be looked at/fixed. no problem.

Hi Pimp!!

I have noticed a change-
Um, looks like this got fixed, almost?...but was it on purpose, or do you have a ghost in the machine?

NEW SITUATION:
I turned all of my alerts back on yesterday, intending to just keep my browser closed and just reopen it now and again....

..but I am "happy" to report when I accidentally left the browser open for several hours, that the behavior I complained about has ceased! So I have tested ALL of the notification functionality, and it is all correct now except for one piece:

With all 3 of my alert choices in the P&H account settings "active", the alerts is working mostly as expected, as far as I can tell!

1. (CORRECT) The alert only "dings" and enters a notification into my windows notification center oncer per new occurrence.

2. (CORRECT) When I have more than one notification waiting at pimp and host, they are all added in Windows Notification Center correctly; the count inside the P&H notification advances, telling me in one notification the total waiting for me at P&H. (This is an improvement from each notification creating its own entry in Win. Notif. Center)

3. (CORRECT, mostly...) Yes, now when I click on the notice in the windows notification center I am taken to P&H page, but I am taken to an unlabeled upload page - the system should take me to P&H page of all notifications, like if I had clicked on the notification bell in P&H webpage and then choose "select all".

I hope this is the result of more fine work from your team...because if no one has directly addressed this, then that means you have a loose bug in your program that got fixed accidentally...and that is at best scary, at worst it is a server-side fail waiting to happen! LOL

SCREEN CAP:
The uploader isn't working here in forum, so I posted the screen cap updated here:

I look forward to your resolution here.

Great Site!

Thanks for the report, this issue should be fixed now, please test it out and let us know

Hi pimp. I have replied directly to you in the messaging system on "the pictures' side" of the site. Latest test = FAIL.
