This forum: notifications died on me

AndersHP

Take this thread as an example: I've gotten 1 notification, and that is @Hyruleslink upvoting my post. That's it. Normally I'd get notifications about thread replies also.

@caver01 I am talking about the bell icon, it used to be my goto thing when I logged on. Now it's dead.

@BuZz is this something you can help with?

Just to be sure, is the setting for notify "When a new reply is posted in a topic you are watching " enabled, in addition to enable watching of "topic you create" and "topics you reply to" ?
This combo box choice was modified a few weeks ago for me.

Notifications seem to be working fine for me. I would need to be able to reproduce an issue to report it upstream to nodebb.

@sano Thanks. I was wondering why that wasn't working for me and this turned out to be the issue for me.

@sano Mystery solved. Thanks.

Same for me too. I no longer receive notifications on threads I am a part of or watching.
I was about a month since my last notification :(

THIS!
Thanks for the info, personal mentions and new posts in thread you are watching was turned off, which makes zero sense to me . Why bother use the "watch" button if it doesn't give you notifications?

These settings must have been altered globally lately, and I really think these default values should be "yes".

But thanks, mystery solved!

The settings were changed for me as well. I wonder why this only happened to some people. I've never touched these settings before today. Seems like a glitch of some kind.

@sano I have both checkbox enabled in the "Watch" section and all the dropdown set to "notification only" but I still miss many notifications since 2 days.

What's going on ? It's really inconsistent, sometimes I get the notifications, sometimes I don't and have no idea why.
