The thread Industrious by Slayer Anderson isn't sending out new-reply alerts.
  • Multiple people have reported the issue and no one has said they are getting alerts
  • Both email alerts and the alerts tab are affected
  • Both reply-by-anybody and new-chapter-by-OP alerts are broken. I'm told liked-post alerts are broken, too. However, alerts for being quoted or @-mentioned do work.
  • Alerts stopped working somewhere around June 20th
  • Removing the thread from my watch list and re-adding it did not help
 
Biigoh - I did a post report for this problem, but since it's been two days or so and I haven't heard anything, just a poke for a direct question:

It seems like this thread (and possibly some others) aren't sending out alerts and notifications properly. Is this a known problem with a fix waiting in the wings or something that's still being looked at?
Huh. I got an email notification for this post!


Thanks. Never had this happen before so didn't really know the exact procedure.
... but not this one. WTF.

Edit: To clarify - I got a 'someone quoted you' alert in my feed for this post, but not a new-reply-to-thread email.
 
It might help if I clarified my setup:
  • I use email alerts as my primary method of tracking when threads update. For all threads I am subscribed to, I am configured to receive email alerts for all new replies.
    • I have not been getting email alerts for Industrious for a while, with the single exception of the post I quoted above.
  • Because I use email alerts, I have new-reply and new-chapter alerts turned off in my alerts feed. I therefore cannot personally confirm that these are or are not working, but other people have mentioned in the Industrious thread that they aren't working for them.
  • I also have someone-liked-your-post feed alerts turned off, because they would swamp out everything else. So, again, I cannot personally confirm they are broken, but other people have reported that they are.
  • I have someone-quoted-you and someone-@ed-you feed alerts turned on, but these seem to be working fine.
 
Supporting this. Thought it was on my end, since I sometimes leave a few tabs open in other devices or groups and that also blocks alerts here on QQ.

Since the others reported the issue, I investigated my windows and the thread in question wasn't open, so that wasn't the problem.

I am receiving emails from the threads I selected for this function and general alerts seems to be in order.
