the friday post of glee

[sixbeforelunch]

In the future this post will have a better name and format. For now, I have five minutes before I have to leave for work.

Post your climbing glee here. Accomplishments, yes, but also just those moments when you had a blast. There are no rules about what makes climbing glee. If it's climbing related and it made you proud or happy, it belongs here.

Comments

Out of curiosity, do you know if there's something I should have turned on in order to be getting comment notifications? Because I wasn't notified of your reply, and I don't know if that's just a temporary bug, or if it's something I've got set up wrong with my account. And I get the impression you know more about this than I do!

Check your comment notifications setting (Organize --> Manage Account --> Notifications). But if it's set to notify you and isn't doing so, then it's a bug -- e-mail:

Yes, it was the notifications. I didn't want all the comments piling up in my DW inbox (I must admit, I hated those inboxes when LJ introduced them, and I'm now even more annoyed by DW's version--the one thing I've found so far that isn't completely awesome in every way, so I'm sure I'll live!), so I'd turned off the "notify me in my DW inbox" button, not noticing that that also turns off the "notify me by email" button. And there doesn't seem to be a way to get only email and not DW inbox. I think. Which I find annoying, but will live with. Or will ask someone about. The latter is no doubt the better plan anyway.

Ah, yeah. That's part of the code they inherited from LJ -- if you have a look, you'll see that the LJ inbox actually does the same thing (it used not to, but now it does).

(There's some complicated technical reason for this which vanished from my brain the moment Syne finished explaining it to me.)

I find it annoying too, but the inbox does automatically start deleting messages once they hit a certain number. I just go and "Delete All" occasionally because it makes me feel better.

*points* What Rydra said.

You might notice too that GMail threads your notifications all funny-like. Instead of them being nicely threaded by entry, replies to comments you left on multiple entries sometimes get threaded together. Or they do for me, anyway. This isn't a DW thing, it's a GMail thing, but I think the DW folks are trying to figure out how they can make GMail like them. So you might want to check that you aren't losing track of comment replies that way too.
