    When I get multiple notifications for reply's, it shows up like this - "replied to the thread .... There may be more posts after this." this is a great feature because all the other replies don't crowd my notifications.

    But, when I get post likes, every one shows up as a separate notification. It makes it difficult to find other notifications in the mess of likes such as quoted posts or replies or other notifications.

    So the addition of "liked your post in the thread ... There may be more likes after this" Would be great, thanks!

    I would agreed with this request.

    If you get something like 10+ likes on a post, there is really no need for individual notifications.

    I'm thinking it is probably not all that likely to happen because I assume it would require customization of the forum software being used (and I recall @Todd saying that they were looking to avoid that where possible to make it easier to apply updates when needed/available).

    Didn't realize it would be so much work. It would just be a nice thing to have if it were an easy fix.

    Agreed. Such as Facebook, where the notification simply says "_____ and 22 others liked your comment" instead of giving you a ton of notifications about the same thing. Would certainly be more user-friendly.

    Maybe I don't say brilliant things like some of you to be able to generate a large amount of likes, but how often does the list of likes exceed 5-6 items anytime that you log onto the site? I log in a few times each day, and my list is typically only 5-6 max.

    It happens when you post in the what beer you drinking now thread.
