Another annoying new Ancestry feature - Notifications

[ms_canuck]

For those who use Ancestry for their trees - a new 'feature' has been added to the top right of your screen - Notifications!  If you haven't looked at it, it lights up red (why not green?) when something is added.  The additions are, for the most part, completely useless IMHO. 

For instance: "we may have found a mother/father for XX"; "You shared a picture from 'user', what else might 'user' be able to share? Message 'user'"; etc., etc.,

They asked for Feedback LOL...  I told them to get rid of it pronto and fix the useless messaging system instead!

And if you are foolish enough to use it you have to log in again, at least I did.  Why oh why can they not do something useful for a change that makes things easier, rather than worse!

I saw it a few days ago(??) and decided that  they were adopting Twitter style options!

I avoided it!

I saw this new feature too.

Annoying and best avoided in my opinion.

We are supposed to be able to turn off notifications, I have yet to manage it after numerous attempts.

Yes I saw it a few days ago. What a waste of time. I think their developers don't actually understand what we do and how we do it.
