I accidentally clicked on the link asking if I want “live notifications”. I don’t know what that does, but probably don’t want it. Now I don’t see any way to change the live notification status back to the way it was. Any ideas? Or what “live notifications” does? ---

Don’t know but I think you get an email every time someone responds or worse. That’s why I don’t start any discussions. I suppose you have to somehow go back to profiles or something. I’m still having trouble figuring my phone out. ---

There seem to be two types of notifications, “notifications” and “live notifications”. Anybody here know what the difference is? Throwing caution to the wind, following @weekend-warrior 's advice above, I clicked on the G, my top-right icon, then the person icon, then “pause notifications”. Hopefully that did the trick. In attempt to verify, I did the same as above, except click “perferences” rather than “pause notifications”. Then Notifications at the left , then I noticed under “live notifications” there’s a link provided to enable them. So I presume at this point live notifications — whatever they are – have been disabled. Wondering now however if the normal notifications – whatever they are – have also been disabled … lol … ---

Live notifications are a feature supported by your browser, you can select on/off for each web site that offers live notifications in your browser settings. My company email system offers live notifications; a small pop-up in the corner of the screen shows a preview of the message. ---

Yes, @George_San_Jose1 , @Nevada_545 is correct. Which browser are you using? ---

> [@cdaquila](#): > > Which browser are you using? Currently using Chrome. If I got a “live notification”, would I know it? The only notifications I’m aware of are “replies”, or “likes”, or “solutions”, to something I’ve previously posted, accessed by clicking the user-letter (“G” in my case) at the top right. Are any of those “live notifications”?
