Turned off my "likes" notifications

Well, I am on my first day back here (after years of inactivity), and I feel I still have a manageable number of notifications coming in, so I haven't turned anything off yet. I also learned that the number of notifications will just go up and up until you delete it. So I like to delete them as I do what I need to do with them. For instance, when the notification is about someone commenting to my response, I follow the link, read the comment, reply if there's anything else to add, then delete the notice about it as well as the like and mention related to that comment. It's like checking off things from a to do list and gives me a certain pleasure. Lol! My notifications are back down to zero now - meaning I have seen them all. I feel so accomplished! Of course, I am looking forward to any new notifications that will come in.

I had no idea it was possible to turn off the "likes" notification - but I'm thinking of doing the same thing so I can stay as caught up with my comments as possible.

I also turned of my likes notifications as well as the mentions so I'll only be able to deal with responses and comments.

I have been meaning to turn off my likes also. I do like pressing "like" on people's responses, discussions, and whichever comments appeal to me but it does add up on the notifications section. I also disable emails too from myLot because in the past - I would get so many and I don't need anymore emails.

I turned off my likes ages ago - we don't need to know all of them. It definitely streamlines the notifs.

i think it is good that you have turned off your likes notifications. i remember back in times when i used to be a regular mylot user, once i was out for a day when i returned i received 90+ notifications, then some one suggested that i should turn off this and i did. it is much easier to handle notifications when we turn off likes notifications

I did the same thing. The notifications got out of hand, and it got difficult trying to manage it. I also turned off the "likes" -- not that I'm not grateful about people liking my discussions, comments, or responses; I just can't do anything about it anyway. Plus if I did go to my comments and responses, I would be able to see the "likes".

I still use "like" on comments and posts. But I did the same thing.

I turned it off right from the beginning,otherwise there will be a never ending round of notifications.
