not getting notifications or multiple noties....

[Chey Kizoxie]

I am not sure why but I am not getting notifications when other people reply to posts but I seem to be getting notifications after *I* post and will be my own post. I dont really understand what is going on.


for example I should have gotten a notification that someone posted in the thread about deleting posts but nothing. yet many times in RW for example I was getting repeated notifications in threads such as 1000 page....

I seem to be getting a bulk of email notifications every ten minuts. its been exactly ten minuts for i think the last two hours at least.

very odd. anyone know why?

i think that's a problem that came along with the old board. it might have something to do with the setup server-side, but since I don't have access to the database it's not something i can confirm or deny.

[Chey Kizoxie]

oh ok cause i didnt have that problem often enough to notice with the old board.

[Spidey]

with the old board, notifications would get stuffed up for people for a long time, and then as you've had happen, they'd flood their inboxes (or just disappear).

[Chey Kizoxie]

so it could just be a result of not being on bus fora few weeks?

[Spidey]

Maybe, yeah. Have you tried cleaning out your notifications folder?

[Chey Kizoxie]

im all caught up with the folder in my email account

[Spidey]

I meant here on BUS, sorry xD What I meant was did you delete stuff that you're not following anymore?

[Chey Kizoxie]

I just completed your very suggestion this evening. I cleared all my followed messages and subscriptions and restarted but im still getting the notifications in bulk at ten minute intervals.

[Spidey]

I think it depends on how notifications are timed then. Do you know of anyone else on BUS that is getting them at the same rate as you (every 10 minutes)?

[Chey Kizoxie]

im not sure, some people say they just are not getting them at all. I used to get them instantly when someone posted.

[Spidey]

Then I don't know then sorry...

[Chey Kizoxie]

thanks for the troubleshooting ideas.

[Chey Kizoxie]

maybe i just post too much. lol

I switched emails to see if there was a change in the delay but with both hotmail and gmail the emails are delayed in bulk. Since I only have a single server at home I cannot check if there is a difference if I log in elcewhere. I know though the timestamp for when bus sent the message and when I got it in my inbox is different.

[Spidey]

Your mail provider might be delaying them.

[Chey Kizoxie]

even though it was both on hotmail and gmail accounts?

[Spidey]

Dunno. It might have to do to which time the server is set. It's not uncommon to, say, have a server/router have a time as 12:39 when in actuality it's 12:41.
