Notifications working sometimes...others, not.

[Pohemi]

I noticed that the forum notifications have been a bit 'buggy' since I changed some of the notification options settings in my account preferences a week or two ago. I've changed them all back to what they were, but my notifications aren't always showing now.

One day it will show nothing when there should be several (from forum threads I had been watching), and the next day it will show them all just fine and as expected. Today is another day of nothing showing.

I've cleared out my browser (cookies, cache, history, etc) and also used a second browser, but it seemed to be the same outcome. Any chance this is on my end? (since I see no one else with this issue, at least not posting about it)

I have the same problem and I haven't done anything weird in the notifications settings. I think.

Sometimes I receive no notifications from watched threads and even worse, I stop receiving notifications altogether from that thread.

I mentioned it on the free pc games thread and a member suggested to always click on the notification when it arrives, otherwise the system thinks you are no longer interested. If that's true, then it's stupid. Maybe I don't want to click on that notification on that particular time. What of it? Why the system speculates I don't want to watch it any more, since it's clearly marked as watched?

Also I don't think clicking on all notifications actually helps. For example I haven't missed any notifications from that free games thread and I still did not receive any notification of the new posts.

Can the good admins see to it please?

Fixed itself for a while, hadn't seen it occur in probably 4 or 5 months at least...now it's back. Not getting many, it seems the notifications I DO get are the rarity, not the ones that are missing.

This time, I had changed nothing in my account settings, it just started doing it again on it's own.

If I don't click on my nofications one be one, some of them get disabled. I mean I don't get any more notifications from that thread. I wonder if my ublock origin has anything to do with all that.

This is still occurring, and has been on-again-off-again since February. Notifications either work 100% or not at all. Today it's not at all.

 

[psolord]

I do not get notifications again from the free pc games thread. And I made sure that I clicked on every single one of the previous ones.

However I do get notifications from the gpu subforum and obviously I got a notification from this thread, so I can complain again. So at least there's that.

 

[Pohemi]

The issue for me (until now) was always either ALL notifications would show, or NONE of them would on any given day.

Welp, now they're being split like psolord was explaining. Some watched threads are giving notifications, others are not. Fun.

 

[psolord]

After serious consideration, I have come to the conclusion, that the server is an EPIC/Steam collaborator and does not want me to get the free games they are giving, so I have to buy them.

I'm not sure how y'all are defining "notifications", but is there some way to make this forum send me an email when there is a new reply in a thread I am watching?

 

[psolord]

We are talking about the bell on the upper right. I don't know about emails. I have a couple hundred emails per week. I don't want more.

I received the notification for this thread, but last week it forgot my subscription on the free games thread....again!

I have the same problem xD

 

[Pohemi]

This is still happening. I have 12 to 15 threads that I've posted in and am 'watching', and the threads are still active in recent days. I'm getting notifications from 2 or 3 out of those 15ish when there are new posts. The rest are MIA.

 

[psolord]

The free games thread has quite some time to send me notifications.

I guess the stupid server only has an 8GB card! xD (inside joke)
