Notifications used to just be "x commented on y" etc. without much extra info. Which was great. But now they actually show me almost the entire post? Both on desktop and on mobile. It makes it extremely annoying to scroll through, especially on mobile. I frankly don't need to see the entire message before clicking on the post link.
Am I alone in this?

Possibly. Some people want to see the message in notifications so that they don't have to go to a different program or click on a link to see what was said but can scroll past it without more work.
Yes on desktop I get that but on mobile it makes the pages super long It's really not pleasant scrolling through them like that. I kinda hope they can use a different format for mobile.
Nope, not alone - so annoying! It now also makes it pointless to put people on 'Ignore' as you can also see their entire posts
This has to be a bug @EA_Mai?
It is not that bad if it is just plain text but I have bookmarked "What happened in you game today" discussion and it is all about pictures. Many, many of them. It is unbearable to see 15 or more notifications and all of the pictures in there while I would like to also see if anyone mentioned me in another thread.
Exactly!! Picture threads make me not want to look at the notifications at all anymore. It's ridiculous. If it at least gave you only a sneak peak of max 4 lines, fine, but we have to scroll past the entire post now I hope they change it back, I hate the notifications now.
What used to work the best for many of us was a short 1 or 2 line intro to each post on Notifications with a Details button that when clicked upon made the rest of the post open up and the rest of the page slide downwards. That was great because we could get so much more information about many Notifications at once before deciding if we wished to click through or open in a new browser tab at least on desktop browsers right away, perhaps later, or not at all. That feature got removed a couple of years ago (I think) and we were told that it cannot return so the button since then simply took us to the forum post itself.
But what we have now is not practical for many of us. I can have as many as 60 or even 100 Notifications when I log in. If 98 of them are filled with pretty pics that take up half a page or more and 2 of them are text only players requesting my assistance or input on something on various other threads, I'm never going to find the 2 text only ones and may as well just stop using the feature entirely. If we cannot have the prior Details slide-down feature back, could perhaps this new "show us all or nothing" setup be made user-optional?

It's not the type of thing you want if you read the forum on a mobile phone. It must use a lot of your allowance if you aren't on Unlimited.
like before i had to jump into the actual discussions and then be like
''oh i ain't got time to be reading this rn and i won't remember to read it later because notif already checked out''

Yep exactly. now whenever I see 100s of notifications, I don't even open them anymore. I agree that having a little preview & the ability to see more would be absolutely perfect for me. Or just the way it was.
ETA: I don’t like it.
True that @ screenshots thanks for chiming in @EA_Mai, much appreciated. Happy weekend!
Might the changes here (or the changes back) still be a work in progress?

We might revisit/improve notifications again in the future, but until then we agree so long pages were not the best.
So again, thank you for fixing it for us...
