Is anyone else not receiving Notifications when a post you made is 'liked' or 'quoted' or replied to? I'm referring to the little number with the white background that pops up under the 'Profile' link at the top of the page.
For about a week this function has not been working properly for me. Sometimes I get the notifications, then other times I don't. The latest example was this morning when a member replied to a thread I created and there was no indication of that reply with the little number at the top.
I think this is a very helpful function. I don't want to miss anyone's reply or likes to anything I've posted.
Maybe Administrator's or Moderator's can chime in on this.

It’s working fine on my iPhone. Well, that might be a clue. I've never used my phone and always access the site on my desktop computer. Oh, and I did not get the notification for your reply.

It all works great on my iPhone. I’ve never even tried the desktop.

It's working fine for me, but I'm also on my phone (Android). Is anyone else having this issue? Ok, I got the notification for this reply and for Jenny's 'like.' Did not get notified of Jenny's reply or your 2nd reply. This may be a browser issue on my computer. I'm going to try using Chrome and see if that helps.

Hi David, Go to your profile, then edit profile and settings. There is a drop down menu where you can pick "Notifications." Check the settings for your notifications there. If those are set as you want but it's not working, I don't know, maybe it's s system issue with the forum host company.

Nuthatch, the 'Like' box and 'Quote' box were checked. So I unchecked them and then checked them again just to be sure.
We'll see if anyone else chimes in with the same issue. If not, then I doubt it's a system issue and more likely something related to my computer, possibly browser issues.

Have you noticed if re-doing them worked for you? Mine seem to be working fine on desktop, so I'm not sure why it's been flakey for you.

I haven't been on the site very much today and don't think I've had any 'likes' or 'quotes' since this morning. I'll keep an eye on it and let you know. Thanks for checking.

Hi David. I only get notifications when someone "likes" or "quotes". I noticed when I have created a thread and someone post a quick reply without using the quote, then I do not get a notification. However when I go through the Recent Threads i will see "new" next to my thread and other threads. I use my lap top all the time, not using a phone.

Just to make sure click Profile, Edit Profile, Notification and make sure the settings are checked that you wish.

I never realized Notifications only appear for Quotes and not Replies. But it certainly makes sense and no doubt is a major part of what is happening. However, it's also interesting (but not surprising) I didn't even notice I wasn't being notified of Replies until about a week ago. I always start with Recent Threads, too, and never knew what the 'New' icon represented. Are you saying it means there are 'New' replies to a thread? Meaning replies I have not read? Thanks, Mary. Since no other posters appear to be having the problem, it is no doubt something specific to the way I'm using and interpreting the tools on the board.

I think Mary has touched on the problem. I was unaware of how the Notifications functioned, especially since no other posters seem to have issues.

David I also use the Recent Threads, and if you click Participated it'll show you all the threads you've participated in if that helps. Thank you! I've never even used the 'Participated' function before.
