Feature request: Option to disable notifications for post quotes

[covaithe]

The notifications area (see attached image) is often quite useful, and I pay a fair amount of attention to it. The mentions feature in particular is awesome. However, it seems like about half of my notifications recently have been for when other people quote my posts, like so:

Something dumb

Thing is, 99 or more times out of 100, my posts are only quoted in threads I'm following, and I almost always see the thread before I get the notification. That particular notification is not useful to me. In fact, it adds a fair amount of work, since in order to remove it from my notifications area, I have to go to my profile page and select the quotes tab, even though I've already seen the quotation.

Would it be possible to add an option to turn off notifications of post quotes? Alternatively, would it be possible to mark the quote as "seen" and remove it from my notifications area when I view the quoting post in the thread, even if I haven't gone to my profile page yet? Either one would add a lot of value to the notifications area for me.

There already is such an option - I know because I found the notifications to be annoying too, and turned them off. However, I don't recall where the control for it sits.

I'll dig around, and see if I can find it.

Yup, forget about future options - I'll go back in time and add the option!

Here you go!

Damn, I love my TARDIS!

Awesome! I thought I had dug through all the option screens, but apparently I missed that one. Thanks, guys.

Has the option been moved somewhere else? Clicking that link doesn't do anything for me. Like the OP, I have never had a "post quote" that wasn't already a "subscribed thread". I don't need post quote notifications, especially not if viewing the thread in question fails to clear them.

I also tried creatively appending things to the following URL: http://www.enworld.org/forum/usertag.php and didn't succeed. Halp?

Go to your Settings (http://www.enworld.org/forum/usercp.php - link among those in the top bars on the forum pages).

Scroll down the page. At the botton of the left bar, there's a link under User Tagging, again called Settings (EN World: Your Daily RPG Magazine - Settings)

On the User Tagging Settings page, there is a checkbox for "Hide Quote Alerts", and another for "Disable Quote E-mails".
