It also happens when I quote others. I didn't change my settings, but for some reason, I am now getting these notifications.

It's part of the new user tagging system. It's a fairly unobtrusive notification. I just ignore em.

Stop posting quote worthy content.

And on that note...

How do I tag someone?

I quote bc I am replying to something specific. I know when I quote someone else. I don't get why I need to be told I am quoting someone.

I understand someone else quoting me, but that is not what is happening.

When you quote someone else, it notifies that user that you quoted them, and because you did the quoting, it shows up in your log.

When someone quotes you, it notifies you and sets a counter in the top right counter showing that you've been quoted. This counter is NOT set when you quote them, from what I can tell.

This is barely visible. Is it really bothering you that much?

I'm OCD. Sorry?

Yes, I am notified when I'm quoted, but I am also being notified when I quote others.

I got the alert (cool).

But let me see if It will add a notification for me...

Yep, I get the alert, too. I'll leave it alone, but I still don't like it.

Well I'm afraid for now you're stuck with it until we make a permanent decision regarding whether user tagging will stick around and at what level. If we decide to go pro, then I believe you'll be able to disable it at a personal level. If we don't go pro, but keep it, well - I'm sorry that it bothers your OCD but it's not always possible to please everyone 100%. :(

Me neither, and I'm not OCD. I keep checking cuz I think it's a personal message. Not a major deal for me but a little daily annoyance. Sure hope we get the choice to disable it in the future though. :D

Sigh. I understand. I wish it didn't bother me. I'll try to control it.

Can you change your eyeball avatar to make up for it? It doesn't bother my OCD. It's just really creepy.
