Hi,

Something this site is sorely lacking is any kind of in browser audible notification.
Think of practically any social website with a messaging system that has an audible pop when a message has been sent.

Also having a button to track recent notifications (read/unread) would be very useful rather than having to manually check through my last dozen posts for updates.
Thoughts?

Keywords "In Browser", so inb4 any recommendations towards the desktop notification system, it's a terrible workaround and to be honest it's odd that this would be implemented before in browser notification.

you're welcome.

As per the post, the push notifications to desktop is a terrible solution when in browser notifications should be implemented. This is a feature found as standard on plenty of other websites. This was logged under site suggestions but for whatever reason has been moved.

Thanks for the notifications link, wasn't aware of this existed so have bookmarked, cheers.

post #2 is correct

The push notification system that is in place, if anything, is better than what you ask because you are better to receive the notification, and you always receive a browser pop up notification regardless. Not sure why you need the browser to make sound when your PC still does it anyway. It also works well with mobie too.

Also, if whatever it is is not up to your liking, you are more than welcome to make a suggestion here - https://forums.d2jsp.org/forum.php?f=258 - under site suggestions.

Thanks for your thoughts, appreciate the reply.

I don't believe it's a fit for purpose solution as notifications from this site get lumped in with the other dozens of notifications I get for other Diablo sites, general personal/Home automation/work stuff or general Operating System stuff, all which I'm not monitoring (or concerned with) when playing the game. As such I utilise Focus Assist (no known as "Do Not Disturb" in Win11) to have these muted.

Furthermore, it seems odd to me that innate browser notifications, a standard offering on websites similar to this and something that wouldn't require any end user setup steps at all, wouldn't be implemented first ahead of Desktop push notifications.
Other people I've talked to have offered similar frustration at the lack of such a basic, tried and tested website feature.

I might also add the suggestion that the notifications list link provided above should actually present on the UI (again, like what many other websites offer) instead of being hidden under the tools page. Perhaps next to the messages icon would be most intuitive.

I did make this post under site suggestions but it got moved here.

It may have been moved in confusion, thinking you were talking about the already existing push notifications, but yeah that's obviously something different than what you are actually asking for.

I'd guess they do it this way so that it also works with phones for push notifications.

The options are push notifications, and the IRC chat, You cvan have the chat open in a seperate tab.
