Don't push me about push notifications

This popup message appears every so often, and I’ve already closed it several times now.

It would be great if it could stay gone once the user explicitly rejects the popup by clicking its close button (or at least after a number of times), if this is not already planned.

EDIT: Just to be extra clear about this: my problem is that I don’t want to receive push notifications on this machine, and I unchecked the box in settings, and this message keeps popping up unless that checkbox in settings is enabled.

Um if you don’t want popups, go into settings, and dissable it?
The popup is only there if you enable the checkbox in settings, and refresh the page.
It’s chrome that needs confirmation that’s why the orange line appears.

It is disabled, the popup is asking me if I want to enable desktop push notifications. Read the message on the popup carefully.

The checkbox is disabled, and the orange popup I depicted here appears every so often even though I do not want to enable the checkbox.

Can’t you just press enable?
I think that’s for the browser setting, so in general the Settings page one still disables it.

#5

Huh, interesting. I’ll check next time it pops up.

#6

No I just checked and this actually does enable push notifications in settings, it’s not just a browser-thing.

I found that if I enable the box in settings but untick all the options, it doesn’t show the message anymore and I won’t get push notifications, but I just think that’s not very user-friendly.

What browser(s) are you using, and which extensions?

I’m on Chrome (with push disabled), and I’ve never seen that notification before – even with all extensions disabled.

#8

I guess I’ll turn off extensions while browsing the website and see if it still pops up, but I doubt any of my extensions would be interfering.

Browser is just Chrome (version 53.0.2785.116 m)

I saw this notification after logging back into ROBLOX after resetting my password. Push notifications are already enabled and I dismissed the notification. It hasn’t returned yet.

#10

Can confirm not related to extensions.

#11

I disabled my browser’s ability to display notifications and this message pops up regardless of how many times I tell it no. I’m using the Opera browser.

#12

That’s a bug! We’re fixing it so you don’t get prompted when you already have it enabled.

#13

So the problem in the OP isn’t a bug? I’ve gotten the message a few times on my alternate account, each time dismissing the pop-up.

#14

It is by design for now, but we are looking into adding an option in the settings page to never ask again.

Thanks for the feedback!

An update – we actually found another bug where we prompted users too frequently. By design, we were supposed to prompt every week, two weeks, then four weeks (thinking of increasing this back-off to eight weeks). It should be fixed now/soon, so everyone should be prompted way less than before. Thanks for bringing this up!
