How do I disable or enable notifications for mentions or badges?

When a deviant tags your username in a comment, journal, status update, or deviation description using the @ symbol, you will receive a notification letting you know that the deviant mentioned you. Similarly, when a deviant gives you a badge, you will receive a notification for it.

If you want to disable (or re-enable) notifications for either of these features at any point, you can do so from the Account Settings page:

  • Hover over your avatar in the site navigation bar (or tap, if on a mobile device) and select Settings from the menu that appears.
  • In the left column of the Account Settings page, click General.
  • In the Notification Settings section, click the check box next to “Turn off notifications for mentions” or “Turn off notifications for badges” (depending on which you want to change), then click Save.
