I couldn't read the article on mobile due to live notifications.

Dear AsmBB.org admin: Have those be turned off by default. They're annoying even when they don't occlude the entire screen.

Especially for guests viewing the page. No one really needs to know that a random person loaded the page. If there is some kind of friend/follow functionality for logged in users, and they want to enable notifications for them, ok, but that’s about as far as it should ever go.

Yep, the alerts occlude must/most of the page. This is probably the first time the creator's encountered HN rush hour.

I can’t do that either because the notifications pile up and cover the button.

Why would anyone care to know that an anonymous person is reading the same page as you?
