Forum message about push notifications

[gradi]

I am not sure which forum this belongs in.

For years everytime I log into this forum I get this at the bottom of my screen:

And everytime I click on Never ask again. And everytime it asks again. Is this a bug in the forum software that has lasted for years? After about the 50th or 100th or 200th time it asked me and I clicked Never ask again I have sort of started getting annoyed. Is there a trick to this? For example, click Never ask again while yelling "I really mean it, dammit!!!" or something like that?

Did you create an app bookmark on your Home Screen for MR? If so, delete the bookmark and recreate it.

 

[gradi]

No, I have never done that.

Never seen that message. What device are you using, what OS version, what browser?

 

[CharlesShaw]

I see it too. I visit MR in a Safari private window in 15.2, so I just figured there's no cookie to remember the "never again" response.

I see it every time I log in from Apple silicon, never from Intel. Safari in both cases has set Notifications to Do not allow for all websites.

That would make sense. Prior to this thread, I had assumed it began with Sequoia, which is new to me, but Apple silicon is also new to me.

It happens using Opera on all 4 of the Apple Silicon Macs I have owned for the last few years.

I just tried it with Safari and Chrome. I logged in and got the message. I clicked on Never ask again and then logged off. I logged in again and the message did not appear. It seems this is an Opera issue.

THERE is the answer.

If you disable cookies, there is no place for the software to "remember" your preferences.

That is the whole point of cookies. Websites use cookies to store information and you keep them even when you exit the browser.

I am not using an Opera private window for this forum. So, that is not the answer for what I reported above.

I guess I will start using Safari when on this forum.

Cool. Then you agree with my original thought about cookies. I don't remember seeing the message before, so I figured something had changed in Safari defaults for private browsing. My only settings changes to the new Mac are using DuckDuckGo for search and opening private windows by default.

Ideally, the setting should be remembered in https://forums.macrumors.com/account/preferences, but unchecking all Push options doesn’t make a difference.
