code updated

The code push has completed. If you see anything weird or broken, please let us know.

There was a brief error with being able to post entries that has since been resolved. I'm very sorry for that, but it should be okay now.

Is there a way to turn off the ajaxy stuff that pops up when clicking "Track" on your reading page? Or at least make it so that cmd-clicking still actually works, opening the Manage Message Settings page in a new tab?

Actually, for that matter, is there a way to kill that little "Email me when" box across the whole site? I almost never want my notifications emailed to me, which means I have to click through to "more options" anyway.

For the "Email me when" box, it should follow your default from the Manage Notifications page. If you make sure that the default there is unticked, then it should be unticked normally.

I'm not seeing anything specifically marked as the default tickybox for everything under Notification Tracking (so, individual subscriptions to other people's entries and journals). I do want comments in my own journal etc emailed to me. I just don't need emails for comments in other people's posts which I am tracking.

For Notification Tracking, the box which turns on/off all the "Email" tickyboxes that follow it has always been unchecked, but I always have the "Email" box checked when I click through to follow a specific entry's comments.

Ideally, what I'd like to do is set a default for tracking comments in other people's posts - email or don't email - which would automatically set the Email tickybox on http://www.dreamwidth.org/manage/subscriptions/entry?journal=exampleusername&itemid=123456 to my preferred value.

Failing that, I just want to get rid of the ajax which pops up when I click "Track This," at least on my own Reading Page. I always click through to "More Options." It has always annoyed me when it appeared on other people's layouts, but I dealt with it. Now the ajax box seems to be the default for every layout, and it's breaking my use of the Reading Page because it interferes with opening http://www.dreamwidth.org/manage/subscriptions/entry?journal=exampleusername&itemid=123456 in a new tab.

I suspect one or more parts of this comment might belong in dw_suggestions.

I have some S2 code which you can put in a theme layer which disables the "hover" track this.

(Note that that only works on your layout / any page with ?style=mine)

dw_suggestions sounds good, for a more general option.

It works for me in the latest Win Firefox.

Oh, yes, please! This drives me crazy. Have you suggested it yet? I'll do it otherwise.

Not working for me in Linux Firefox. (I think it would be great if it did work).

Also, code snippet that disables it, but only for a particular theme: http://afunamatata.com/dreamwidth/s2/no-track-hover.txt

ctl-click doesn't work for me, but middle-mouse-button does. Xubuntu 9.10, FF 3.5.5pre

[ninetydegrees]

Sorry, the middle click works.

I don't think this is what I meant. I'll try to explain better: when you want to track something the 'Notify me by e-mail' is always checked. I always have to uncheck it. I wish it wasn't checked by default or that I had the possibility to set defaults. I believe that's what Sofiaviolet was talking about too.

[afuna]

Hmm, yes I did misunderstand, because I was too focused on disabling the hover menu so it would be easier to get the full page, and not thinking about the settings on the page itself.

I like this idea. I used to have the same, back when I preferred to have the majority of the things I was tracking not email me. Not sure how to implement it (separate option? follow your default setting for replies to entries, or replies to all of your comments?), but I like this idea.

[afuna]

Just filed a bug, and uploaded a patch, so that ctrl-click/cmd-click will work consistently to open in a new tab, instead of bringing up the ajaxy box. Hope that eases things a bit!

omg thank you!
