Regardless of the actual functionality of mobile chat, one thing that really bugs me is that if I do chat on mobile, somehow the supernoticollider thinks that I need to have every single message I have received while using mobile chat as a notification, as if I'd been away.

The Bridge

Please stop doing this.

Okay so apparently I should click the 'mention' button. This is terrible.

  • You didn't click the button (this behaviour is very much bydesign, per balpha).

    @TimStone Yes, I understand now that there's a button to prevent this, but it's a terrible, terrible button in a terrible, terrible place, with terrible, terrible text. (I assumed clicking the button called 'mention' would mention that person in a message, rather than dismiss a future notification. Note: clicking this button hides my keyboard, which is terrible.

There's a "mention" button on mobile chat:

Tap to dismiss the notification - just like how you'd dismiss a full-chat ping notification (with the circle button on your avatar).

    This is not really very discoverable. It's nice to know, but it would have been nicer to know without having to come to meta to figure it out.

    @Feichinger Replying to a chat message also hides the chat ping. This doesn't happen in mobile chat.

    @StrixVaria Don't ever expect mobile chat to tell you anything. In fact, don't ever expect mobile chat to anything.
