Anyone else notice? Not always but frequently there is no notification someone replied to your post. I thought it may be just me. But…
What prompted me to ask was a @Apollonius reply to @tiox suggesting @tiox was not notified and assumed @Apollonius replied to the OP in error. But he hadn’t (and I can’t find it, hope I got it right).
EDIT: I found the post.
This has also been happening to me, sometimes I don’t get notified for a reply…
Sometimes even likes on a comment or post don’t raise notifications as well…
These all happen frequently, I’ve been meaning to ask this here for some time…
Thanks for confirming and I did get the notify from your post this time. With this increased awareness, maybe someone can find a pattern.
I haven't noticed any unusual behaviour. Have you set the preferences like so:
- sends notifications (and email) when anyone replies to that topic.
- no notification is sent, just an unread counter is shown on the site.
By default, you watch your own topics.
(Click your avatar in top-right → 
→ "Notifications" on the sidebar)
The default is "First time a post is liked and daily".
When it comes to replying, you'll get notified if someone replies directly to your post using 
,
If someone uses the general topic 
then notifications would only be sent if you're watching the topic.
When you post, you can set your preference to watching if you want notifications for each reply:
You should get notified if someone @mentions your name or if they link to your topic/post.
So that's how it works - does this help spot the notification behaviour?
Hi @lah7, No surprises how it’s supposed to work and I’m set to perfect defaults best I can tell. But I will specifically look for any topic I post in NOT set to Tracking like it should be (or Watching if you create the topic).
It does beg the question if you should get a notify if someone replies to you but you’ve manually set the topic off the default. This is something I’ve never done.
