We’ve added sounds to SlopeTalk. Of course, I know some of the more curmudgeonly types won’t want these newfangled gee-jaws what with their a’beepin’ and a’boopin’, so you can turn any sounds on or off in Preferences. By default, only New Posts and Notifications to You will make sounds; the others you can turn on manually. Anyway, having sounds in he product now is something fun and, occasionally, useful.
