On neither the app or the mobile site I can't seem to find a way to turn off the new e-mail settings. I had to go to the regular site on my phone which was less than optimal. Was I just missing the option?

Finally! I've been waiting for these filters for quite some time now, but it still needs to be refined imho.
Here are some of my experiences and suggestions concerning the wall smile

  • Wall: shows everything. Which means that it's cluttered by likes now. It's the default setting.
  • Messages: Private messages and normal wall posts from other people are mixed together. It would be better to have them seperated, in an inbox or something.
  • Comics : Shows all comic updates.
  • Likes: Do we really need to see each other's likes? When people wanna know what I like, they can look at my reading list. It's not an awful feature, but it clutters my wall and it seems a bit unnecessary.
  • Comments : It shows all my comments on other people's work. Kind of neat!
  • Journals : This doesn't exist, but I wondered if it would be possible to create a journal tab. This tab shows all MY posts on MY wall. ONLY them. This could be really handy if one of my subbed creators stops updating (because of personal reasons for an example) and explains the reason on his wall. With the journal tab I could find his important "journal" quickly, without having to sort through comments, thank you pictures or the like.
  • Images : I first thought it was for the little thank you messages, but they won't show up there. Is it the equivalent of the creator's gallery? If so, then that's a good thing. I always wanted to have a gallery.
    However it looks like I can upload images on other people's image wall too - which means that this could become as unorganized as the messages.
  • For supporters only : Shows all supporter only content. I currently don't support anyone, but if I would I'd use this feature.

Guys I am SO HAPPY with the notification tabs, this is something we've been needing for a while and I'm really excited to see it happening. The profile tabs are pretty neat too (especially for finding author posts?), seeing all of your likes/comments on other comics seemed a bit weird at first but I guess it can be a good way to discover new comics, so that's nice.

My only concern right now are the tiny comic thumbnails, not only they're stretched out weird, but I also liked having bigger thumbnails because they were easier to notice on your wall frowning

But overall, it's a cool update! nice way to start the day haha

Oh! I don't like how the first thing a reader sees when they visit my wall are my Likes and Comments only. I'd really prefer if they see my messages or even comic posts notifications first since that pertains to my comic, and I have announcements there. Announcements that I prefer readers to see since we're not really allow to post those in a series, ya know what I'm saying. : P It also keeps things more professional/business looking if the Likes/Comments were like the last tab a reader could click on and the more comic related down to business tabs were first.

I like these features, and the tabs are much need, however that's a BIG fix I'd like to see please. smile

Hmmm, I don't think journals would be that relevant, they could probably just fit into the messages tab, as the only lengthy posts I've seen by creators is when they're explaining they're on hiatus.

Maybe a tab for just creator's messages and another tab for reader's messages (I guess that could include the thankyou messages as that's what's mostly posted by them)

The art tab can be used for creator's doodles so they don't get lost in the thankyou posts.

I really want an option though to hide the comments and likes tab away from public view though, I don't like the idea of everything little thing I do being so easily trackable. Else I'd be more re-frained from commenting or liking on other creators work which could hurt their stats frowning

I'm also pretty sure that other readers of tapastic value their ambiguity, after all, wasn't there a topic earlier where Tapastic was explaining creators not being able to track users who've shared their content for the sake of privacy? >.>

Same here, having my likes and comments displayed like that would make me hesitate before leaving a comment... Maybe just a privacy button would suffice (like for those who don't want their reading list to be visible ?)
And it does clutter the wall...

I like the idea of a journal... When I check an author's profile, the first things I look for are announcements from the authors and potential drawings (cuz pretty art). What would be cool would be a journal section with the possibility for the author to pin their most important posts =)

Yes, I would like privacy settings where people who do not want their comments/likes to be visible are able to toggle it off. And even though I know nobody is going to comb through my comments, I don't like the "Big Brother is watching" feeling of those things being publicly available just by looking at my page.

Also, although I enjoy the wall being separated into tabs now, the default wall now feels even more cluttered than before. I agree with Cyndi that I would like the default tab to be shown is my own messages. The default wall is just too much crap.

I still would like one separate for PMs.

Please please please pretty please add an inbox !
And I forgot to say this earlier but thank you tapastaff for all those filters, they're really neat !

The new updates are very slick. Absolutely love em. Amazing job Tapastic team!

Ohhh, I really like these updates, it really helps! But I agree, I'd rather have my own posts only on my profile when someones is visiting it :S

I agree with a lot of what's already mentioned here. Some of these updates are great! smiley The only thing I would have to complain about is showing "likes" and even "comments" on the wall. It looks cluttered already, and even though I only write positive comments about other people's comics, it's a little uncomfortable to see everything displayed on my own wall like that.

The Journal thing might be an interesting idea? Don't know, hadn't really thought about it until others mentioned it.

Other than that; great job! smiley I like the profile wall filters a lot, as well as the activity page filters, awesome smile

These updates only apply to the desktop view of the website. However, we will adding more settings options to the mobile website and apps in the future.

This appears to be a bug. We'll look into it.

I see what you mean. We'll look into it.

You know how when people reply on a comment thread that you are part of, and you still get notified even when the reply is not even directed at you? I hope we can opt out of that smile That's why I don't reply to creator wall posts all that much even when I want to. Anyway, I appreciate the new updates, though. Still need some tweaks but it's a great start.

oh god I forgot about this

this also x 100000000 please tapastic-senpai.

I always want to post on creator wall posts but I just don't because I don't want to get notifications for the other 5000 people that comment on that post. I think if you let people unsubscribe to every time someone posts (like how you can do it on Facebook) then I believe more people would participate and comment on wall posts (I know I would).

Yup, I agree with raintowns and winglesscomic. Is kind of a bother when you get 100 notifications that aren't meant for you =S

That's a pretty good update although i don't like all that tracking of my likes and comments, i hope the staff would really add an option of opting out of showing that in our feed.
Because if it not i may not comment so much as now frowning

If the update leads to me suddenly getting spammed with e-mails that I wasn't getting before, it shouldn't matter if it only applies to desktop versions, I should be able to turn it off. People on their phones check their e-mail too.
