Notification Problem

I have my forum set so that I am watching them but I am not getting any notifications of new posts.


'Stop watching forum'

Hi @FIB,

In your Profile > Preferences do you have the following option activated ?
• Always notify me of replies

Yes AngeTuteur I have. I have also set all forums to Watch

You do understand that you will not get them if you are the one posting?

Yes I am aware of that, infact I post very little. I did have an issue recently with not getting notifications of new members but that seems to have put itself right by itself Its very hit and miss with the new post notifications or new topics I get some but not all

Well I will say that the nofitications and such (the icon of the forum that says new post or not) is based locally (your computer/ip address). For instance, I can answer and view all new posts in a section in the morning from my tablet, go to school and login on the school computer and have the same section still lit up (with new posts) that I already replied to.

Do you always use the same computer when viewing your forum?

Also may I personally suggest trying the recent topics widget, I find it useful because even if the notification system fails me... I can tel, if there is new posts or topics through the recent topics widget.

Thanks Brandon I hear what you say But I don't want to have to be looking at my pc all the time, I have a notification sound that tells me when I have an email so it doesn't take up to much of my time.

Do you always use the same computer when viewing your forum?

Yes I do although I have tried it with my laptop and it's the same with that.

ok just give this a try turn the settings on your profiles off so your not watching nothing then hit save

I presume you mean this...........Always notify me of replies :
Sends an e-mail when someone replies to a topic you have posted in. This can be changed whenever you post.


Done that, now what?

ok when done that you will need to watch your items again so do the same again but watch say 10 threads and see if that works.

Some times our servers go a little slow and need to be asked to reset them self for your forum. so just turning them off and back on again will give our servers a kick start.

I here what you say but turning that off surly only applies to topics I have posted in?

When you turn the system off on your profile it will reset your Data on your profile so when this is turned off your have to watch the posts again.

When this is turned off the system will reset it's self on out servers and clear all the data used to watch them posts. when you turn it back on again it will be refreshed on the servers and then should then be fixed. if the problem is still there after that then we need to ask for more help on the tech side.

APE

Ok Thanks APE But I thought by clicking what you see below, allows me to watch the whole forum for new topics or replies?

yes your right you should have that on your forum and yes it will watch your full forum

Which is what I am not getting notifications for, so how does doing the above effect that ?

All our systems are all set the same.

removing the data on the servers will reset your profile by turning it off and back on again so to do this go to your profiles and un tick the items then save.

Then go to your setting that says watch this forum and tick it.

this will then reset your profile data and it will kick start the system again.

if that don't work then we can ask the tech team to take a look at it again for you.

APE

Ok Thank you will see how it goers and get back here

yes please give that a try and let me know if your problem is solved

Have a nice day as I am about to leave my office for a little bit and go to work.

APE

Ok Thanks have a great day
