Notifications - a mind of their own?

46 replies

Furries · 13/10/2022 12:11

The site went down for me for around 10 minutes just now. I’m now back in and had a couple of new notifications - they’re both threads from 2006, which is way before I joined the site.

Anyone else had this problem?

As an addition, why do new paragraphs STILL not automatically start with a capital letter?

Yes! I can’t see any of the threads I’m actually following. I hate this

Talipesmum · 13/10/2022 12:12

Same here

Yep I have this from 2006 and it looks like it was actually deleted.

Selfsabotagesocks · 13/10/2022 12:15

Same!

I thought it was just me and that I had done something wrong! 😂

Hi all

We are deploying an update to our notifications system and unfortunately we're experiencing some unexpected errors for logged in users. It should be resolved now but please let us know if this isn't the case.

OldFan · 13/10/2022 12:21

Me too. 😂 I wasn't even involved with the boards until about 2019.

ImNotOnTwitterButMySupportGoldfinchTweets · 13/10/2022 12:21

Not resolved for me.

Icecreamandapplepie · 13/10/2022 12:22

Not resolved for me

princessbear80 · 13/10/2022 12:23

Same here!

Podgedodge · 13/10/2022 12:27

Not resolved for me yet.

LilyMumsnet · 13/10/2022 12:28

Hi all

Sorry - miscommunication from me.

We are still deploying the update and notifications won't work properly until it is completed. We will post details about the update once it is complete.

fdgdfgdfgdfg · 13/10/2022 12:28

Still getting issue here

Shakenotslurred · 13/10/2022 12:49

I’ve got that issue too. I was very confused lol

RachelGreeneGreep · 13/10/2022 12:53

Just saw that I have 50 notifications and I was looking blankly at threads from 2006.

Not sure if I was on here back then but they are definitely not threads I would have been watching or contributing to.

And I have the option to watch them, which makes no sense either.

ReformedWaywardTeen · 13/10/2022 12:54

I had 50+ notifications. I wandered what on earth I had said
Its all threads I'm supposedly watching which I'm not watching and when I check the thread it doesn't give the option to unwatch as normal.
Glad it's not just me

birder · 13/10/2022 13:00

Didn't realise there was already a thread on this. Same problem here.

MarshaMelrose · 13/10/2022 13:07

Apparently there are 4,056 posts on one thread which is only two pages and was last posted on 4 days ago but it's,saying an hour ago.
I'll log out and log back in.

It’s still the case.

Have the site owners considered employing anyone who understands things such as testing releases before they go out, or just contracting the work out to owners of pretty much any other site which has a forum? The glitches on this site are severe, and never seem to get properly fixed.

Evira · 13/10/2022 13:18

I just came onto ‘sitestuff’ to start a thread to say the same. I have 50+ notification of threads I've not even read. My notifications usually average 7.

The threads I follow I can't find.

What a mess

MarshaMelrose · 13/10/2022 13:23

I think mine's OK again now. Thanks.

Exactly the same!

Doowop1919 · 13/10/2022 13:28

Came here to ask just this. I've got notifications from 2006/2007 too.

Notifications - a mind of their own?
Kanaloa · 13/10/2022 13:29

Yes I’ve had just the same. Was a bit perplexed.

toastedcat · 13/10/2022 14:03

I never get any notifications despite having them switched on 😣
