Not consistently getting notifications from watched threads?

[symphony]

It seems I have an issue lately where sometimes I don't get notifications of activity in threads I'm watching - even my own threads. I haven't changed my settings or anything so idk what's going on here. Any help would be appreciated.

That actually happened to me, too, today. A bunch of posts were made on a megathread I've been on since I got here. Wasn't notified of any of them.

Happened to me too a few times. Not often, but like a couple of times. It happens a lot more often with chat messages. I'll wait for a chat message and then discover that I got it 2 hours ago and it just never notified me. And the third problem is that sometimes it tells me that there's a new notification while I'm still on the previous page, and sometimes I have to switch pages for it to tell me.

I'd like to add to this - sometimes I also will not get notification for replies to my comments, mentions, and activity of people I'm following, nor replies to threads I started - but that would fall under the category of not receiving notifications for watched threads. What function does the Follow button serve other than an ego-boost?

Real-time updates to threads and chat are also a bit laggy / glitch sometimes.

I'm no tech expert by any means so I've no idea as to how easy it might be for mods or admin to fix these issues.

Follow is for your news feed, I believe. Which I didn't even know was there till I'd been here a month.

How can I access that? You learn something new every day. I didn't know this and I've been here nearly four months.

Answered this in a chat. For anyone else, let me know if you want help with this.

Same thing is happening to me too with the missing. I tried unwatching and watching again with a thread but I'm not sure if this has helped.

Samd happens to me too. Must be a bug. I get most things but every so often a thread will judt stop notifying even if I unwatch and rewatch.
