Wedge

If we do away with the parameters how would it update the existing notifications? The parameters are for modifying notifications and not e-mails, I never finished implementing e-mails. That is allowing something like "Likes" to say "live627 and 6 others like this notification".

I have no idea what any of this means :hmm: Is it (still) a bug?

This was written by Dragooon back then; his implementation (while it had the merit to exist) had many flaws, I fixed most of them but there are still many problems with it.
One of the problems is when you get multiple notifications for a specific topic, or whatever event -- like, several people liked a post of yours. It can get complicated to manage. If you'll notice, Facebook actually has (or had) similar problems. Recently, I noticed that they changed their system to handle multiple notifications in a single item per visit to the notification center, and then when you come back to it, new notifications are put into a new item. Or maybe it's on a daily basis, I don't know.
This isn't something I see myself working on in the foreseeable future, so right now you're stuck with Wedge's way of doing things, unless someone else wants to take the job of course.

So it's to do with Notifications? I must ask - does it matter? How many times will it happen without happening another time alone?

Do you want it on the bug list?
