What is a Push Notification and why doesn't the pop up bar across the bottom believe me when I tell it I don't want one and to quit asking?
When you don't have push notifications, you will have to refresh the B&B web page to see events such as a new private message, or an alert on a thread you have subscribed to.What is a Push Notification and why doesn't the pop up bar across the bottom believe me when I tell it I don't want one and to quit asking?
How many times do I need to click "Never ask me again" before it actually stops asking me?
Yup.n+1
Are you clearing your cookies? That's the only reason I can think of that you'd have to keep clicking.
Wouldn't it be nice if your reply was stored in you B&B settings rather than a cookie.....
You have to choose which is less annoying, having cookies or having pop ups.

As silverlifter said, most folks don't want a website managing their computer permissions.Wouldn't it be nice if your reply was stored in you B&B settings rather than a cookie.

Well, work out the programming necessary and send it in and we'll have IT look it over.The website doesn't need to manage computer permissions. A simple opt-out setting for push notifications in your profile would resolve the issue entirely for a lot of people. Then the question to allow them can only be shown to people who have not opted out.

That's about one of the most condescending ways you could have replied.
If your goal is to stubbornly keep the website obnoxiously archaic as the wider trends of the internet move away from heaps of resident cookies, then I suppose this attitude will serve you well.

If I had a copy of the source code for the forum, I could contribute but I expect that that is copyrighted and not available to the B&B management. Hence, my contribution to this thread was a suggestion only that could be passed on to the maintainers of the source code.Thanks for your input.
Someone has to do the work to accomplish what you suggest.
Your post seemed expert enough that I thought you might actually have an idea on how to accomplish it, and get it done.
Apparently I read it wrong, and I'll chalk this up to just another guy making suggestions on how we can improve his experience on the site while providing no contribution or help to accomplish what he desires.
I didn't think source code was necessary but a straightforward reply on how the task was possible with the current software would prevent having to research if it was even possible and provide a basic starting point to save some manhours.If I had a copy of the source code for the forum, I could contribute but I expect that that is copyrighted and not available to the B&B management.

I very much doubt that it can be done with the "current software", meaning the program that is used by the admin to adjust the options that the source code allows them to adjust. I am very familiar with some forum "current software" having been an admin on a few forums over the decades.I didn't think source code was necessary but a straightforward reply on how the task was possible with the current software would prevent having to research if it was even possible and provide a basic starting point to save some manhours.
If someone is not familiar enough to do that, then they are not familiar enough to say it can even be done with any authority.
This is something that is going to be pretty far down the priority list when tasking is determined for IT to accomplish what needs to be done.I very much doubt that it can be done with the "current software", meaning the program that is used by the admin to adjust the options that the source code allows them to adjust.

My suggestion was one to be made to the source code maintainer(s). Such suggestion to the source code maintainer(s) is probably best coming from a client using the software.
