I did a search, and looked around, but I didn't see this...Sorry if this has been answered.

Is there a way to add all anime in my list to my notify? I didn't pay attention to the notify option until now, and I have a lot of anime listed heh...

Thanks.

There's no such option. It shouldn't take too long to add the notifications (with a decent browser ^^), though. Personally, I wouldn't really recommend to enable them for all series in your list, since that could quickly become quite annoying.

I watch it daily, so it wouldn't be that annoying

depending on the number of animes in your list you might well get 50 or more notifications per day. and that is annoying

If you set them all to "new", yes. That is (of course) ridiculous.

But especially the "group" notification which I have enabled for almost all my non-completed anime works really good. I get one to ten notifies a day and they are all wanted.

So I guess it would be nice to be able to add a mass-notify to all non completed series with the "group" option.

Maybe nice for the users, but not for the db

The problem here is the way notifications are handled.
Whenever a new file is added for an anime all notification subscriptions for that anime are fetched and handled one by one.
The "group" style notifications even require accessing the mylist of a user.

What I am trying to say is that while the notifications are a very important feature of anidb it's, due to server load issues, still better to not promote it's large scale use.
That's why I'd rather not implement such a "notification mass add" option.

Hi,

I find a way to do it. In your mylist you can select all the anime you want a notification. There is a option at the bottom of the page to add them to the wishlist. Then, in the wishlist, you have an option to enable de notification.
