laliginI can't figure this out.
LJ's gone all new and shiny, right? Okay. So. This is how it works for me.
I log onto the net, and the first thing I do is check my emails. I see there I've got two new comments on Face to Face. Joyful! But I don't look at them there, because I kinda like the surprise, and I'll remember to reply if I go find them on the actual page to read them.
So I log into LJ. And what's the first thing it shows me on the main page? My two new comments. Or at least, one new, and half of the other, because it's fairly long. Oh, and all the formatting gets deleted, so I see no italics or links if they exist.
By this point I've already read them and am in danger of wandering off to read fic rather than replying to the comments themselves. It's only with a certain amount of "No, Lali! Behave! *smacked wrist*" that I get round there to reply.
And then what do I see up in the blue bar at the top of the screen? I see: Messages (2). And that really, really annoys me. I don't like having anything backing up telling me I've got stuff I haven't checked. So I go to take a look, wondering what on earth can possibly be there that's of interest to me?
And what do you know, LJ is telling me I have two new comments on Face to Face. And it's showing me what they are. And I am very annoyed.
I go check my Message Settings, and yes, I have clicked the "Notify me for new comments" box. Notify by: email. Nothing else.
So how do I turn off the new Message Centre bit? I don't want it! Heck, I don't want the comments popping up on the front page either, but I can avert my eyes from that. But that little Messages (number) will annoy me to hell and back if I can't stop it.
Help me, darling friends-list, you are my only hope...
EDIT: I pleaded for help on LJ-support as well, and some nice person told me what to do. All sorted now.
(For future reference, you apparently unclick everything selected in the Message Center Settings bit, but make sure that the "notify by email" box in the Comment Settings bit is still clicked. No more pesky Message Center. Joyful!)

Date: 2007-07-10 12:04 pm (UTC)Hm. Thanke. But that seems to only change the viewing settings for the thing, rather than turning off the Message Center entirely. Which I would far prefer to do. I mean, how many times do they need to tell me I've got new comments? I was perfectly happy just being emailed...
