Chris,

Isn't there a way to disable the notifications? There is an email which comes anyway and we are following the thread through email. I feel this might be bit redundant right?

Just ignore them - I do. I'm waiting to see if I can get the count larger than 32767 but it may take a while; I'm only up to 2514 at the moment.

If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

Expecting whether it might throw ArithmeticOverflowException. My guess is that CodeProject might (and would) have defined the data type as Decimal. And for a high traffic website like this, I do not think Int would suffice.

A standard int32 should do (and is what I would probably use) - it would take a long time to exceed 2Gig: at a rate of one notification every second, it would still take over 68 years to get there. And my in box would be so full Outlook would have to become sentient to cope with it...

A small link to 'Clear Notifications' on the 'View Notifications' pop window itself ...

31-Oct-12 9:36

It's on the TODO.

Chris,

Can you consider giving a link to 'Clear Notifications' in the 'View Notifications' pop window itself? That would avoid one additional round-trip for users.

There's a button on the notifications page itself.

I prefer to leave the button on the page, not on the drop down, to avoid people accidentally deleting them all. I know I can add a "are you sure" but for now I'll err on the side of caution.

Should we require the navigation to the page at all? Can a small (X) or a pertinent icon on the notifications baloon itself do this?

There seem to be lots of surprises hidden in the site. For example: go to your profile page and hit up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a.

Interesting; did you discover this by trying every combination of keystrokes you could think of?

No, I cheated and looked at the source of the page:

<script type="text/javascript">

function execKonami() {
    $(".member-rep-box > .medium-text > b").html("&#8734;");
    $(".member-rep-box").addClass("platinum");
    $(".member-rep-total > .large-text").text("A squillion");
}
var kkeys = [], konami = "38,38,40,40,37,39,37,39,66,65";
function kcallback(e) {
    kkeys.push(e.keyCode);
    if (kkeys.toString().indexOf(konami) >= 0) {
        kkeys = [];
        execKonami();
    }
}

$(document).ready(function (){
    $(window).bind("keydown", kcallback);
});

</script>

that!
If I do it at the profile of another member, than he/she has a squillion points,
but my color in the upper-right-corner is platinum Laugh | :laugh:

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpfull answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Every message is showing as "new", and the side-bar is showing "indicates new messages since 4:00 1 Jan '00". Is this the new Millennium bug? Roll eyes | :rolleyes:
