Not receiving notifications

I don't know what is going on, but we are not receiving notifications in the group. I get mine, but certain ppl are not getting them. in their profile they have it set to receive them, but they are not getting them when I tag someone with @Name
can this be fixed plz...ty Lila

Hello,

Do you mean the notifications in the toolbar? If so, may you ask your users a screenshot of the issue? What is the url to your forum? When did the problem(s) begin happening?

-Brandon

yes the notification toolbar. the problem has been for a few months now. I am getting notifications, but not all of them. the others are getting some and then none at all. they are speratic.

Do these members who are not getting the notifications have it set in their profiles?

Profile > Notifications

yes I checked and they do

You can not see that section of members' profiles.

why can't I see that when I am the owner of the group?
is there anyway I can fix it?

No.  It is how it is set up.  You need to ask your members how they set the settings in the notifications page.  Founders can only see some of the options from the preferences page.

ok will do that...thanks
I will be back if any other problems with this

Ok.  We will wait fro your reply.

thank you

@SLGray
its not working. I had one of my members go in and tick it all like mine. I put up screen shots for her and I tried to tag her with @Name and its still not working.

where do we go from here? thanks

Are you talking about the pop up notification or the linked notification when you press the notification button?

I am talking about the notifications button at the top of the right hand of the screen. and when anyone types in @Name it is not clickable as it is in here with your name @SLGray
thanks

Wait a minute.  Do you mean the tagged username in a post?  Or when you press the notifications button and try to press the link it is not clickable.

when you try to tag someone like this @SLGray
they are not getting the notification show in the notification spot

@LilaP 

I am testing somethings out.  I will post when I finish testing.

ok tyvm

Could you create a test account for your forum and send it to me by pm?

Please follow APE's instruction.

hello i know its a long shot but can i ask you what names are you tagging ?

if the name is like this
@"sad cat walking" then you need to post it like this
[code]@"sad cat walking"[/codIf the member is just one word then there is no need for the " text" if the member has a line in the name like this sad_cat walking then you need to add the " " again
if the member has a line like this Sad-cat -walking- you still have to have the  " " on the start and end of the username.

make sure your members know this as this is a problem most member have as the tagging system don't like the names like that so we have to make it read them with the " "

If that is not the problem then this is the next step

Go to your ACP >> General tab >>   Messages and e-mails >> Configuration >>  Allow usernames tags : make sure it all members than Save. now if you have it as all members then set it to None and save then go back and set it back to all members and save.

This sends a refresh to our servers and gives it a kick up the Butt.

Next you need to Resynchronize your forum

to do this Go ACP >> General Tab >>    Forum >> Configuration >> Resynchronize your forum : Tick the box and click  Save

Now get your member to try again.

No its like this @SLGray none of the ladies have it they way you have put it.

Ok did as you said in the first way to solve it. so far its good and the @Name is clickable so they should receive the message in notifications. no one online right now to let me know. will come back in tomorrow and let you know if this is still working by then. thanks so much for your help..very much appreciated.
I will not mark it as solved just yet
Lila
