Dunno about anyone else, but when I get those blue notifications at the top right, I’m not getting any “unread” or “new” tabs at the top updating accordingly. They say I still have 0 unread and 0 new posts to read. Yet I obviously do have new/unread posts since I have notifications.
There was an “upgrade” of the forum software last night, and it seems to be causing some issues. (Which it didn’t cause when we tested it, of course. ) Hopefully it won’t take too long to get it fixed, but I agree it’s hugely annoying in the meantime.
Sure, and it worked for your post too. It seems to be hit or miss, and I noticed it doesn’t update while it waits to show you the 502 error you received when posting, once you get the 502 error, the display updates… It is very weird.
Yeah, it is definitely related to the 502 error. I’ve just confirmed it.
In short, if you get a 502 error and you do not refresh the page, your notifications will be out of whack. If you come to Sitepoint and do not make a post, the notifications work as designed.
I had issues on my home computer this morning and now at my work. I would probably normally write this off as my DoD network (we’ve been having issues) but considering my home computer also had this…
I think you get the blue indicator when someone reads the post - that doesn’t necessarily mean they have replied. I have often clicked on that to see that my past is still the last one.
