I am often quoted or mentioned, and if/when I am I try hard to reply to the members, but I can’t find out how to check my quotes/mentions after leaving the “notifications” drop down when I arrive here.....I’d prefer if that was my home page actually. Like today, I’ve been inactive for a week or so due to other stuff, so when I came in today I had 5 quotes or so....so I answered a couple, but then my notifications are gone and I can’t find them. Help plz.
That's for private messages. For quotes/mentions, when you log in, there will be a number (next to “notifications”, I believe), tap the number and it will show the quotes/mentions.
Thanks everyone, and for anyone else wondering....
This works, strange though, you have to actually click on the tab that says Profile, that brings up another menu of options, I thought it was a tab to indicate what was available below it, but if you click it, it shows more, including mentions and quotes.
No, that link defaults to Private Messages if there are no unseen Quotes, Mentions, or PMs (or any unseen items of the other fields indicated, I presume), hence the reason for the OP’s post.
Or are you saying you’re enabling that functionality all the time now?
Or maybe there is different behavior based on browser type?
Hmm, now all the alt pathways to Quotes and Mentions (i.e. via CP >User Profile and via user name) are gone! Are you guys fiddling with settings on your end, or is this a browser/cookie type issue, maybe? Everything else seems to be working fine.
Here was my problem. The internet window needs to be stretched really wide. If it is wide the quotes are hidden when you click on your user name. There are a couple of arrows showing that there is more to the right.
They're working again now for me, both pathways. I double-checked that was not my case by resizing the browser window down to a size smaller than I'd ever view, and the expansion arrows still show now, whereas last night they were definitely not there. Similarly, I checked both vertical and horizontal views of the full site pages on my iPhone, and the expansion arrows are there, too.
I think admin is changing settings or something on the back end. I've been using VBB versions for many, many years, maybe a decade or more, and have not experienced this kind of thing before.
