I hope this isn't a retread, I guess it will get locked if it is. Not trying to get into trouble for making a complaint you may already be aware of.
Notifications
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Yeah I can't see any of them and I am also getting notification when I mention myself in a comment again. As in I quote one of my previous posts.
LOL I came in here thinking "Hah! Too bad for you, suckers."
Ten minutes later, I check my notifications. Looks like the joke's on me.
Karma!
any who mines just went out :(
Yeah, that's definitely a bug that I'll be filing. Sorry.
Just to speak generally about notifications, the changes that we're rolling out were intended to improve the reliability and stability of the system. Everyone on this site is probably aware that notifications have been...fragile ever since they rolled out. Sometimes they wouldn't work, sometimes they would be delayed by hours, sometimes the whole system would crash when someone with 20,000 followers would post a blog. So hopefully the changes to the notifications will help with some of those issues going forward even if there are some hiccups in the immediate future. If you check your settings page, you'll note that some of the older groups of notifications have been split out into more discrete groups; make sure your settings are up to date! (I don't think the wiki edit notifications are working at the moment, though.)
@rorie: Well thanks. On the good side, I just got your notification when you tagged me. :D
Same as above ^ but also aren't receiving notifications at all now. Just thought I'd throw that in there:)
@rorie: Just to throw this out there, and I'm not even sure if it helps, but at the very top of the page where the title of the web page is at (on the iPhone), it usually only says "Notifications" when I go to my notifications page. Now, it's saying "106me's profile Notifications". Not sure if it helps, but I thought I might tell you, so you at least know.
EDIT/UPDATE: I did receive two notifications at around 6:30, but I only got it recently. My old notifications are still gone. I figured that at this point they would just be irretrievable. Not in a way to insult the staff, but this just sounds pretty complex.
Not getting all my Notifications :( Im getting some but not all of them. It seems the ones im not getting is from callouts.
@bumpyboo: Uhh, I thought it was fixed? It works fine to me at least @pikahyper
If you are having problems though, please describe them to pikahyper and/or other staff members that work on the bugs.
@pikahyper: Ahhh, yeah, I hope that gets fixed. I like being able to look for old notifications, for threads I like.
@pikahyper: That is exactly what I meant, thanks for clarifying ^_^
@lukehero: Yeah, it can be frustrating, especially if you're away a few days, very easy to miss things :)
@pikahyper: I know you guys maybe working on it, it's so weird. Other people are telling me they are getting notifications & I am not getting any.
@lukehero: I'm just a mod so I'm not actually working on it. I can say though that notifications are all over the place and it is for everyone, due to site performance issues what day it is and the time of day play a large part in if notifications are working or not and when the engineers are working on them the notifications get turned off a lot without any notice so there is really no way to predict if they are working at any given time and I have no clue how long this will continue.
@pikahyper: Alright, thanks for the update man.
@pikahyper: Is anyone else starting to miss notifications. I've missed like 3 or 4 now.
@pikahyper: It seems it be fine now. Thanks.
@pikahyper: yep, it gets finicky at night.
So are we ever gonna get to see old old notifications? Cause sometimes if I am away from home and only on a phone I'll ignore people, but then reply when I can get to a computer, but if too many people mention me I'll forget and not be able to see old stuff.
@allstarsuperman: just a guess but I'm thinking no, having old notifications would be a big performance drain and a lot of stuff has already been disabled or dropped completely due to site performance not being good enough and we are still seeing performance issues on an almost daily basis so its not very likely
@pikahyper: The page itself only loads about halfway, so I can't scroll through all of my notifications.
@pikahyper: I too am having notification problems again, it's like I am only getting some of them, but I miss out on others.
