OK yes I want to know someone paid me or bought something - but NO I don't want to have to click OK on a window message every time it happens when it's nothing i can change anyway

YES I want to know I paid someone on my Money Trees but NO I don't want to have to click OK on a window message every time it happens when it's nothing i can change anyway


YES when I clear someone's objects off lands I own I want to know it's happened but NO I don't want to have to click OK on a window message every time it happens when it's nothing i can change anyway


PLEASE remove the pointless and time-wasting OK prompt on all these financial and system messages because it HAS NO USE. The event has already happened, there is no 'NO" button so you have no option to change the event, so WHY WHY WHY do we have to get an OK prompt which means if you have several Money Trees you are going to have to spend half your time clicking OK on payments which have alreday happened anyway.

If I clear 20 people's dumped objects off my land using the land tools (which I do daily because I have some land where inherited objects without permisions cannot be set to group) it's annoying that all the window notices persist until I click every single one of them OK yet as there's nothing I can do to reverse any of these events what the hell am I having to click OK for?

PLEASE get RID of this tiresome old chore which is absolutely and completely unwanted and a waste of time. Just make the window message appear and then FADE away in say a few seconds just like object messages or chat - there is NO NEED for an OK prompt!!!


Thanks

I see your point

I think the logic behind it is that it stays there to make sure you saw it. Maybe a 'single' thingy that stays there till you acknowledge it, to make sure you look, even if there were 25 events.

I'm agreeing with this that they are annoying, but dunn about the solution.
I find the "You paid X L$1" ones from money-trees incredibly annoying, but I'd still like to know if one of my objects is paying larger amounts than this.

There's no option (that I've seen) to block messages for less than say L$25, only to turn off the "cha-ching!" noise.

I think part of the complaint might be that you are forced to press a button that says "OK" even if the event happening is in fact not OK with you at all. I think this is a fairly well-known complaint about user interfaces that have error messages with OK buttons. I think the only way around it is to return to the very old Unix workstations that called the button "Dismiss" (ie, "get rid of this message/window";)..

If they do this, they need to make sure that these messages ALL go into chat history AND are logged so you can go back and see them if you missed them.
