I'd like to request that the My Stuff button not flash

I find the flashing light annoying and wonder whether it may affect my migraine headaches. How do I suggest that Powers that Be turn this off or make it optional?

It is already optional Yonnie3 Oct 2023 #3

I already switched mine. It would be a real bummer if someone who had epilepsy had a seizure b/c of the flashing lite. mitch96 Oct 2023 #6

And with that, the DU4 hate has officially jumped the shark. Scrivener7 Oct 2023 #8

I don't mind DU4. It took a bit to warm up to it. BTW what does jumping the shark mean? A good or bad thing? nt mitch96 Oct 2023 #14

Flashing lights are also a problem for folks with migraines Sanity Claws Oct 2023 #11

I want the option to make it purple with orange polka dots. Wonder Why Oct 2023 #7

Go to My Stuff > Account Settings

Scroll down to the "My Stuff" notifications section

You will find an option to change your notification style. Don't forget to click "Save all settings" when you've found one you like.

Click on the "My Stuff" on the upper right, go to "Account Settings", then "'My Stuff' Notifications". There are several options for its appearance there.

For my money I would have the default as solid to get around that little problem. If they want flashing they can change it.. Just my opinion

"Generally, flashing lights between the frequencies of five to 30 flashes per second (Hertz) are most likely to trigger seizures. In order to be safe, the consensus recommends that photosensitive individuals should not be exposed to flashes greater than three per second".
