The notification settings you mention with the "email" icon.... they're entirely email notifications, nothing to do with the red ones on your screen. You can turn them off by unchecking the boxes... and it's helpful to do that with most of the apps.... but just be careful when you're doing it because Facebook's own applications are among them... and they may contain useful notifications.... for example comments through Facebook's "Notes" "Video" "Links" "News Feed" apps.
The red notifications at the top of your screen can't be turned on or off. You used to be able to manage them, but not any more. My personal opinion if you're not getting notified when someone comments on your wall posts is that it's a glitch probably due to heavy traffic through their servers. It happens to me too sometimes, I just shrug and let it go. Sometimes notifications arrive late, or out of order, or not at all and someone's comment takes me by surprise lol. It must be an enormous task to tell 500 million people every time someone sneezes, I respect that. If you're getting too many emails, do what I do with my hotmail acct.... make a folder called "Facebook" and have them automatically bounce there. They just accumulate, and I don't really care... I never look there UNLESS I want to know what someone said but they've deleted it... or unfriended me so I can't see their comments any more... then *gotcha* I have an email record of what was said. Hope this helps. I'm off to empty my 50,000 facebook emails. Thanks for reminding me!! Take care luvvie. xx |
