Proposal for Notification enhancement

[+Dread_Pirate_Bruce]

I recently started (and then stopped) using notifications to learn of newly published caches near me. The concept was great ... until my cell phone, which is always on, got a notification at 3:00 a.m.!! Rather than having to turn notifications off at night and then back on in the morning, how about letting us set "Do not notify between x and y o'clock."

I'd just turn off the cell phone.

And you didn't run out the door just then to try for FTF? If you wait until morning, someone else might get it.

Many people these days only have cell phones, like myself. Not really an option.

Again, one of the simplest solutions :-P

OK, I thought about this one some more. I think the OP is one of those folks who has a 'smart' phone for all of their data needs. And they stated that shutting it off is not an option.

 

How about another simple solution or two.

1] I love lists

2] set your phone to silent at night. This may not work based on your job or personal situation.

3] check the phone manual or manufacturer, there may be a way to block incoming e-mails, but not cell calls, for a certain length of time. Kind of like pausing the e-mail send and receive function from, say, 11 pm to 6 am...
