For some reason lots of threads appeared in my recent new posts in the list of subscribed threads when there hadn't been any new posts, and now i've just noticed new threads i post in don't appear in the list. Checked on two devices to make sure it wasn't some strange caching issue too.

 

Any known issues with that at the moment?

I have been seeing the same for a couple of days now. I thought it was me [my user]

 

I have tried logging out and deleting all browsing data/cookies/history in my browser [Chrome]

 

Glad to know now that it isn't just me.

On the topic of subscribed threads, I notice "New subscribed threads" are appearing under "Your alerts" now, including when someone necros a thread.

 

Is there a way to turn off alerts for new subscribed threads, but keep it on for mentions & PMs?

There is no option built in but I can code it in, I was going to create a flag to clear the notification when you click/use the link which may help, it won't mark them as read, just remove the prompt. All the new forum systems we are looking at use subscribed notifications now so I thought it was best to test the water now.

Mmm I really like the new alert for replies to subscribed threads.

 

Also, my thread subscription list is working for the first time I can't remember how long so I am happy :D

Sorry about the delay changing this, my olds came to visit at the weekend and my daughter was sick (in their brand new car....) so I have had no free time.

Daughter? Parents? Pah disgraceful excuses. Where's the dedication!

 

:p Honestly no rush! You do a fantastic job with this place.

Also getting alerts for some things and not others, no alerts of mentions or new posts on some threads while the mark all read button seems to do nothing.

Do you get the emails but not the alerts menu?

Alerts menu/subscribed threads seem a bit screwy for me. Sometimes I find my control panel tells me there is a new post in a subscribed thread but I find the thread contains lots of posts I wasn't alerted about (if that makes sense).

 

Also the 'mark all as read' button seems to work about 80% of the time (ie most threads clear but some won't).

I get no emails at all, (I think I get emails of PM's but no one messages me really)

If I view the threads with alerts it clears them and things seem to work ok for a while again until the mark all as read stops along with mentions etc.

It appears your default thread subscription mode (set here: http://www.edugeek.net/profile.php?do=editoptions) is set to Control Panel only which will be why you dont get the reply emails.

Sorry should have been clearer, I dont want email alerts.

 

I get issues after X amount of days where the alerts on the site just get stuck (say 3 new subscribed thread notifications) after this point I receive no more notifications regardless of what they are or mention notifications. At this point the Mark All Read button fails to work.

The only workaround is that I visit the last page of each thread to clear them from the Alerts and new ones will appear after this point.

Similar to what I have.

I have seen an instance where the alerts drop down showed new alerts but nothing was in the control panel. Before I could investigate the problem went away.

Can you let me know the next time you have a stuck notification?
