And finally let’s look at Notifications.
Notifications are personal between you and the people you correspond with including private messages, website comments, replies to my comments, new comments on my profiles, comments on what I have created and new followers.
In Figure 3 you can see some of the features of what is contained in Activities. (Several I didn’t have on this list at the time of posting this tutorial.) I have outlined an example of each in colours as noted at the top of the figure. As people access and respond to these items they disappear from this list.

I have responded to Martstervt’s (Marty) comment as follows in Figure 4.

This got lumped in my ' too much to read ' category. Since both Keith and I comment on stuff at WA we forward all emails away from us to our junk account in a special category there. So for the most part we don't see them. We are too busy to live in WA so we just get to them when they can. When I left WA a while ago i deleted nearly 9000 emails.

Now I don't need to delete any of them. The activities stay in the list and the notifications disappear when read. And I can make my mind up when I do the reading and my email account is not filling up. Except for the drongo FBers who insist on telling me everything they do. Don't read these but it takes a bit of time to sort out. Unfortunately one is my brother so I need to be a bit tactful about letting him know I don't want so many. Actually I am not being tactful. I just disagree with most things he says. Hopefully he will get the message.

Thanks Helen I have seen activities and notifications and now I know what they are for.

That was my original problem so I ignored them. I am sure glad I decided to tackle them.

Basically I only get the Webinar announcements and reminders by email. A piece of cake to control.
