How do you feel about the recently new green "comment counter" left of your name in the title bar?
I feel obligated to click and see what is there... and many of the notifications are for comments on threads I unfollowed. I am beginning to hate it.
Hubpages, please give us an option to turn this function off!
IIt could be helpful to know who has read your articles and what they think about it.
I love the activity notifications. Have always used them on other sites that I am on as well. Great resource for sure!
If I click outside the notification box on the when I'm on the feed page it turns to 0. But if I then go my account page the number is back. I think maybe clicking close zeros it out everywhere but I'm not sure. But for sure if you unfollow a hub then notifications for it should not appear on your feed. You might want to mention this in a forum because I would think they would fix that.
It's an excellent addition. Not like it's being intrusive if you don't care about those threads...but it sure makes life easier.
Can't say that I'm thrilled with it. I get notifications as emails, then delete each email after I've read the hub it refers to. The green box doesn't reflect that I've done anything, so the HP elves probably think I'm shirking my duties as a member of the community. If there's a way to delete an entry in the green box when you're done with it, I haven't found it.
I like it a lot. It helps me keep up with hubs I've commented on as well as other activity I've participated in.
I'd rather not get an email for every little thing, I have two emails and they are already overwhelmed with posts but this little green box is great.
Yes, it is very useful. It looks as though it is indispensable.

How do you feel when some of your comments on various hubs are never responded to by the author?Once in a while I'll write a thoughtful comment, which I've put some real research into, and which may (or may not) disagree somewhat with the author. But I am also quick to point out things about the...

Pretty much like one would have it on a blog - with the difference that I am talking about hubtivity here.I had posted a single comment to one of the hubs a while ago. I am not too interested in the topic, just wanted to share my experience and forget. Well, the thing is - for many months this hub...

Do you get email notifications of a comment on your hub, but when you check, there is no comment?I've had this happen several times in the last week or so. The email says that so-and-so has left a comment on your hub. I go check and the comment isn't there. It usually shows up...

Unless your article is on the first page of a niche site, the only way I have found to see how many comments are on them, is to actually click on the article. Now that there are comments on some niche sites that I have content on, I'm wondering how often those of you who have had them for awhile...

Before reporting a problem I wanted to know if anyone else is having trouble with the comment notification. I usually receive an e-mail when I get a comment. I never changed my e-mail settings but for the past 24 hours I've received comments & not a single e-mail. I just checked my settings and...

I just went under my account page and clicked on Comments, and much to my surprise and delight there were pages of comments! However, after a closer look, they are all comment made by me on others' hubs from the past 19 hours to well over 13 months ago! And ... to boot, I have the...
