[Request] Please increase number of lines in email notifications

[Archimede]

Hi,

 

Nsane emails notifications, are now heavily truncated (see below screenshots) to the point that in some cases it's difficult to establish what the notification is actually about. If you could please add a few more lines of text to the email notifications it would be greatly appreciated.
 
I am mostly offline when I go through my emails and in the current scenario I need to constantly go online to visit nsane.forums to actually understand what some notification emails mean... That pretty much defeats the purpose of receiving email notifications

 

A few months ago it was actually possible to see the whole OP in the emails and that was really great. If in the forum preferences there would be an option to return to that, it would be awesome.

 

As silly as this might sound, especially during these challenging times, quickly reading a post from "Joke of the day" might brighten our day... Trimming off the punchline of (even short) jokes and having to visit the forum just to read the rest of the joke, botches the whole thing up.

 

Thanks for your kind consideration

Hello once again

 

I forgot to mention that, while the email notifications allocate very little space to the actual software post, the "You might also be interested in..." section is rather dominant (see screenshot) and the repetitive content of that part most likely results redundant for many.

 

Even email notifications of private messages get truncated... Please don't take this the wrong way but it's like I am forced to login for anything that before this change I could easily read offline !

 

Frankly it's a little annoying... Unless there is a plausible reason that motivates this pesky change, I would really appreciate it if it would be possible to receive the full text via email rather than a few lines only.

 

As much as I hate to say this, because I know that you guys are working very hard to keep NF so wonderfully neat, I totally fail to see the upside of this recently implemented change.

 

Thanks for your kind feedback and have a great day ahead

Please teach me too how to read emails and forum posts offline.

Reminder for @Matt.

 

Even I have been annoyed by this so called feature.

 

I even did a detailed check and found that I was not able to find anything where I could fix this problem. So either Matt needs to find it harder than I did or IPB - our forum software developer needs to be contacted about it so that they can fix it or at least give us an option for it.

Thanks DKT27, much appreciated indeed

 

I hope that while Matt or IPB are at it, beside the truncated email notifications they will also fix the other "special features" resumed below:

 

A. Composing a NF message or a NF post on Windows devices (tested on different browsers) is very tough, at least for those who are not blessed with a 20/20 vision. The grey text (font) on grey background is pretty difficult to handle especially on smaller screens.

 

B. On Android devices NF renders differently than on Windows platforms (tested on different browsers) and the FB / TW / Mail sidebar, which is visible by default, does not stay hidden + The only available icon to express feedback is the THANKS (heart) icon. Kindly refer to the below screenshot.

 

Thanks and have a great day ahead

@Archimede now you are mixing your request with other issues you are facing, and this it not the right place at all. If you are facing a theme issues, please submit a support ticket on the support forum in order to look at that issue you are facing.  

[Archimede]

@Matt I have already notified you of the other issue (composing messages with grey font on grey background) and I look forward to seeing it resolved.

 

In my above post (my reply to DKT27) I purposely wrote "while you are at it, perhaps you can fix the other issues too"... I have no idea whether the issues I reported are related (apparently very much so since they all occurred together after the recent changes) so I just brought them up under one session in this thread. I doubt that caused detriment to anyone.

 

I am sure this is your way to express gratitude to members that bring to your attention some issues that emerged after you implemented the changes that caused all my remarks.

 

You are most welcome, Matt :)
