GBAtemp push notifications FAQ & Feedback

[shaunj66]

GBAtemp now has push notifications enabled so you can receive push notifications on both desktop and mobile for your forum alerts.

What are Push Notifications?

If logged in, push notifications enable you to keep track of your GBAtemp alerts such as new private messages, likes received and others replying or quoting to you.

Push notifications will be sent to your compatible browser on a supported device (see below) even when you are not actively browsing the site.

Please be aware that push notifications are not instantaneous and are delayed beyond your normal forum alerts by up to a minute.

How do I enable Push Notifications?

Starting today, when visiting GBAtemp and logged in you should be prompted with the following message:

Click 'Allow' and a prompt from your browser should follow to whitelist GBAtemp for push notifications. That's it!

Can I change which Push notifications I receive?

You will receive the same alerts you would for forum alerts. These can be configured in your Alert Preferences.

Push Notifications aren't working for me

See the below troubleshooting steps. If you are still experiencing difficulties please reply to this thread and let us know your browser and device.

• See the list of compatible browsers below.
• Ensure you have JavaScript enabled.
• Ensure you are not using a browser extension that may be blocking it such as NoScript.

Compatible browsers

• Chrome: Supported on Windows, Android, Mac OS X, and Linux. Not supported on iOS.
• Safari: Supported only on Mac OS X. Not supported on iOS.
• Firefox: Supported on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. Not supported on iOS.

How do I disable Push Notifications?

Chrome: click the padlock or (i) icon to the left of the site URL in the address bar and choose 'site settings' - from here find Notifications and disable it.
Safari: Go to Safari > Preferences (or press Command-Comma). Click on the Notifications tab. From there you can manually disable/enable notifications from select sites, remove all notifications, or access your system-wide Notification Preferences.
Firefox: click the padlock or (i) icon to the left of the site URL in the address bar and choose the ">" icon, then More Information > Permissions - from here find Notifications and disable it.

You will need to revert the above if you wish to re-enable push notifications again.

Is there a way to request the push notification dialog again? I chose allow, but then denied it on the firefox alert because of muscle memory and there's no way to manually add a site to the list.

I already tried logging out, closing and opening the browser.

try logging out, removing/clearing your cookies, and logging back in. it worked for me

you don't have to go through all that, just edit the site settings in your browser to allow notifications

I'm guessing no dedicated app is happening?

Yeah, that's the problem, there's no entry for gbatemp in the list of sites that have requested push notifications.
I'm sure it will ask again eventually anyway, all the other sites do.

Best notifications ever!

Pretty cool, thanks for this. Hopefully this will stifle the crybabies wanting an app.

And thus burying the only reason to ever still be using Tapatalk! This is great!

When I saw it I didnt know what type of notification it will show me
So I click no thank
How can I allow now ?
Im on android chrome

 

[Stephano]

I blame Apple for this

You shouldn't expect more from a company that adds "new" features to a product which have already existed on other phones for years.

But, ya that truly is a bummer for us.

 

[jt_1258]

would love this if the option actually popped up, I turned it on for Facebook and Twitter so I don't get why not this site :/

 

[Justinde75]

Wierd, havent recieved any yet even though I remember allowing it

 

[Owenge]

Great job

 

[smileyhead]

Hmm... Would it be possible to send the actual notification text as the push? These notifs are pretty vague and sometimes not even right (I just got a "[person] commented on your status!", and it was someone else's status.

@shaunj66 might not be related, but I was having issues entering GBATemp yesterday from the Wii U browser.
I was getting error 112-1035.

I had that problem with other sites as well, for example the PK Hack Forum over at Starmen.net , and that issue started happening when they used SSL certificates on the site.
So, I wanted to ask if you guys have been fiddling around with the SSL certificates of the site which might be causing problem accessing GBATemp on the Wii U browser, and if that is the case, is there any other way I can access the site through said browser?
