How to unsubscribe from game available alarm?

Post by Schwerpunkter »

I can not find how to do this, and there is a game alarm that is annoying me for a game I am no longer interested in having an alarm for available table.

It's in....the same place where you initially set the alarm. Go to the game page. Set the left option to "Play" if it says "Learn," "Arena," or "Tournaments." Set the right option to "Real-Time." Click on the bell underneath "Real-time" to unselect it,

Thank you so much for those instructions! It was the "click the bell" that was counterintuitive and not self explanatory. I think I succeeded in deactivating the alarm by following your instructions! Thank you!

Thank you so much for the instructions on how to FIND the bell. Other similar threads had responses to "Click the bell" which isn't helpful when the bell isn't actually showing anywhere, and you don't know what to click to find it. (Yes, of course it's in the same place as it was when I signed up, but it's not a stupid question (as your ellipses seem to imply! LOL!) since it was a while ago that I signed up.)

AND I remember having a hard time finding it when I did want to sign up to be notified for something. I mostly play Turn-Based, so all of my games are usually set to that. I probably only noticed it when playing Real Time once, and didn't realize that was the setting that made the bell show up.

Does it only notify for Real-Time games? I feel like I've gotten notifications for Turn-Based games sometimes. I wish I could tell it to only notify me for Turn-Based games, but I guess that's not possible.

Thank you again for the instructions on how to find the bell!

It's only for real time games.

I'm having this issue, and am still having it after reading through the forums, and making sure my settings are on "play" and "real-time". No bell shows up! Anyone know what is going on? I have at least two games set this way, Grumblestone and Sky Team. Can't figure it out and it's been annoying for months now. Lol

Are you saying you're getting bell notifications for Sky Team? Because I don't see a bell for Sky Team, but I do for Grumblestone. It is below the game settings, i.e., under Golem Selection, on a mobile device. Are you *sure* you have the top option set to Play? Sometimes the game page says "Learn or Play," and that's not enough. You have to click on Play. If you think you've done that, then share a screenshot showing the area of the screen below Golem Selection. Or if you're on a computer, it should be right under the button that says "Play," so show the area below "Play."

If you are getting notifications for Sky Team, I can't tell why that's happening. Just to be clear, you're referring to actual pop-up notifications, not messages in the general chat?

Sorry, just saw this! Yes, getting popups for Grumblestone and Sky Team, possibly another sometimes that I forget about? But yes, the popups for a game starting, and there's no bell option to unsubscribe from those games. LOL

There is a bell for Grumblestone. Link to a screenshot of the game page for that game.

As for SkyTeam, it's possible that there was a bell and they removed it. There is precedent for them removing the options to turn something on and off and you getting stuck in the on mode if that's what it was when they removed it. It happened during beta testing of dark mode where many of us got stuck with it on when they were done testing but not ready to release it.
