Alerts Broken for 'Industrious' Thread

[macdjord]

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.

To be fair, I didn't get one either for the latest chapter.

I also didn't get an alert on the new chapter drop. I'd only have gotten the note in the alerts section, no email or feeds or anything.

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.
