    It's a pop-up notification of whatever you are following/watching.

    I find it EXTREMELY annoying but, I see where it might be useful for some.

    This is what I was asking about in the software update thread:

    "I'm continuously getting the following notification on the bottom of the screen:

    Texas Gun Talk - The Premier Texas Gun Forum would like your permission to enable push notifications.

    Hit the "X" and receive the following:

    We strongly recommend enabling push notifications on this device so that you can be kept up-to-date with site activity.

    I am clicking on 'Never ask again' and well, here I am, about to click on it again.

    Help?"

    well I clicked never ask again and it listened.

    So unless you are running some kind of adblock type software that is stopping it I do not know what to tell you :). I would turn off ad blocking stuff and try again.

    Yes, logged in as me. Not as guest, etc.

    Even as I type this, the red dialogue bar asking to enable push notifications is there. Again.

    Your post is very much appreciated. It enabled me to figure out what the unreadable text says after hitting the X... Whoever it is who thinks black text has enough contrast to be readable over dark red background is a flipping idiot... So I pressed what I think said "Never ask again." We'll see what happens.

    You can turn this feature on and off at will. Click on the notification bell in the top right, scroll down and select preferences. You'll see a button to turn on or off push notifications.

    Yes. And nothing in 'Preferences' says "Push"

    Everyday, multiple times a day, many times in the same thread, I still get the following;

    Texas Gun Talk - The Premier Texas Gun Forum would like your permission to enable push notifications.


    Nothing different then I've asked about before. Exactly the same as I asked about before.
