PlayStation®Home General Discussion

[Erika_West]

Can someone please tell me if there's a way to disable this message? It's the first time I've been on home in almost a month, and the new update seems good, but this utterly pointless message to anyone who has used home for more than 5 minutes, has caused bad image retention on my plasma tv within a relatively short time of chatting with someone. It's bad enough having it constantly pop up when you're near an item, but under a person's name? Have people really gotten that stupid?

Even if it didn't cause staining, it's annoying seeing it constantly pop up, what with almost everything on home being interactive. 

So, if there's a way to disable this, I'd be very appreciative of anyone who could tell me how to do it.

Thanks.

Some people say go Sart > Options > help system > turn off prompts.

But i have tried this and it didnt work. Also when you exit home and come back it resets itself I honestly dont see the point to it, really hope it gets fixed soon wish i could give better news

[Erika_West]

Thx for the reply, Jester. I've also tried turning prompts off. And I've also now noticed you can get things to go to normal if you leave to go to another space or re-enter. But as soon as you come across another item, the message is back under people's names. So maybe it's an unintentional bug?

Whatever, it's extremely annoying

terrible

terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible idea and annoying as hell. Someone seriously wasn't thinking right when they decided to include it

It's been there for a long time, it's designed to introduce new users to the service and explain to them how things work.

Unfortunately it seems to have bugged and refuses to turn off for any amount of time. It is indeed true that turning off prompts disables it, albeit tempoarily but it's definitely a lot better than having it pop up constantly.

After a while it can go away and stay away by itself but not sure how to make that happen. Personally I have it down to only popping up when I look at posters now; including promts being switched on. It might have something to do with actively targetting what it's prompting but not entirely sure.

Yes and all my friends are interactive items too how rude

It's not mean't to be active for users that have been using Home for ages. Try deleting your settings so it thinks your a new user. Once it's cycled round you shouldn't get them anymore.

Hi Erika, You could try what I did, it's fixed it for me. It seems to fix it for some but not for others, it's worth a try anyway.. Hope it works for you too.

This worked for me Sylas. And it seems to be a permanent fix. Thank you so very much!

Awwww, sweet. You still believe the Home developers / coders actually THINK when implementing new 'features'.
