moto4 Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 The title says it all. Recently logging on has resulted in a pop up asking to allow notifications. Without a clearer explanation of what this meant I ignored it. Eventually it pissed me off so clicked to allow. I don't want it but the disable is not in "notifications". Where can I find the option to rid myself of this option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanWinkle Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 settings and then other settings... http://pbmagforum.co.uk/index.php?/notifications/options/ there are a set of tick boxes for you to play around with..hth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moto4 Posted November 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 It's not there that I can see. Feel free to show me if you can please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanWinkle Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 I unticked one of the boxes, I cant recall which one it was now. I then refreshed the page and it asked me if i wanted to allow "desktop notifications" I then selected NO and have not had them since... Sorry but your going to have to untick by trial and error..

fuelline Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 I bet it's underneath the screenshot pop up box. That was'nt helpful was it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moto4 Posted November 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Well, I've tried ticking and unticking each and every option on this page. It is simply not there! It may be unhelpful but I suspect you are correct Fuelline! I have messaged Admin twice but with no reply. Maybe no one knows!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanWinkle Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Are you on a pc?, if so go to the top on the page to where the url goes, there should be a pb page type icon to the left handside, right click on that and see if it gives you a list of allow/disallow options..

VanWinkle Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 You have got the "notify me of replys" switched to off( just abover the submit reply button)?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, a PC. I've tried each of the top righthandside options. Unsure what you mean re left side. There's nothing I can see on the actual website that allows any changes. 44 minutes ago, VanWinkle said: You have got the "notify me of replys" switched to off( just abover the submit reply button)?. Yes definitely switched off, thanks. 39 minutes ago, CMSMJ1 said: what browser you using? in chrome - settings> more tools> extensions and turn it off in there. Yep, chrome. Good idea, thanks.

moto4 Posted November 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Well, I've switched absolutely everything off I can find - EXCEPT: one is obliged to click one email notifications option annoyingly. Still, on my "Notifications Settings" page there remains a large green banner that informs me I still have desktop notifications activated for some reason. I guess the last option is to cancel my account. Shame but there it is, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMSMJ1 Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 There must be a way - I turned mine off in that settings thingy.. not sure what else it is to be fair, it is a "feature" and I can see it is annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMSMJ1 Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 right. Go to chrome settings Content settings scroll down to notification settings manage exceptions delete the pb forum bit come back to the forum - it will ask to allow notifications - block Buzzin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moto4 Posted December 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 OK guys, I finally got it thanks to CMSSMJ1 and, especially VanWinkle. Thank you lots and for being patient. Interestingly, I followed each step CMSSMJ1 suggested and it seemed to accept it but still I was getting these dratted notifications (Jaycee, I'm happy your happy ;-)) However, when VanW showed the screenshots of the paper thingy and I followed that, I found there was indeed an extra cookie - (despite the fact I had cleared "all site cookies" on Chrome, worryingly!) that repeatedly buried itselft again each time I wiped them all, when I logged on to the site again. Obviously SOME option I had permitted meant it could re-establish itself even when I had wiped all cookie data. This is worryingly unclear. Still, sorted now. A thousand thanks.
