Notifications on Watched Threads

I'm not receiving notifications for watched threads. On two different computers.

Similar here, its seems random, sometimes I do sometimes I don't. Also the site has been the slowest I have ever experienced it over the last approx 2 days.

So slowwwwwww for the past weeks, although not much mention of that by others. I provided some information about this in another thread somewhere. Also, not getting some email alerts for watched threads.

Yes I saw another thread that was covering response time problems & timeouts specifically being experienced by Optus users. I don't use Optus.

I have always found the Xenforo system to be 'quirky' with regards to notifications on watched content. I imagine this is just an ongoing symptom of that, which isn't really a bug so much as the way they do business. Nothing has changed on the backend or frontend to account for a drop in notifications.

Also the site has been the slowest I have ever experienced it over the last approx 2 days.

Regarding slow site speeds, I haven't experienced anything out of the ordinary where I am, and I use Telstra NBN FTTN, so nothing flash.

Notifications back to normal this morning.

I have found the notifications very random, some come, some don't, really seems to be hit or miss.

That’s interesting. My internet has been provided by Optus 4G since January. ADSL has been the only other alternative. However, I should be connected to NBN HFC (not with Optus) this month so maybe that will resolve the issues.

Just to be clear, notifications on Xenforo happen after you have fully caught up on a thread, and you only receive one the next time someone posts. Unless you then check the thread out and catch-up on all posts, it wont send out another notification, and then, again, only the first reply.

In contrast, vBulletin could send a notification for every new post, regardless of the last time you viewed the thread. This is not the behaviour of Xenforo though.

Thanks yes I did read the other thread and take those factors into account before I raised the issue.
Perhaps the software and I have different ideas on what "catch up on all posts" means.

Stirring the spider webs between the ears. Just pondering whether its caused by being on a thread and reading it and in the background someone is composing or lodging a response to the same thread, the system assumes I haven't fully caught up on the thread when I had read every message I could physically see.
