Hi guys

Not sure if this is tied in with the new Auto refresh module that was added but happened at the same time .
See screen grab from yesterday . Still there now . Just hundreds of repeating alerts for the same thread.
5 pages and more
No alerts since . Just this reoccurring single thread. Other alerts stopped as soon as this random one popped up.
Any ideas what's going on ? I have alerts set up for various sub forums but since this thread has taken over my alerts , nothing else registers.

Thanks

Thanks . All working again . Well done chaps !
 
Nope tagging didn't alert me but other posts Ive commented on are coming up under alerts
 
Actually i see my alerts for watched forums arent working , ones I comment in do alert me
 
Nothing has changed. Still no Alerts on Sub-Forums / Threads I'm watching.
Only ones I comment in do alert me.

This hasn't changed since I got that reoccurring thread as per first post on Thurs.
Not the end of the world but not sure what else to do. Tried everything.
 
Guys, we're in a teething stage. The forum software was updated over the weekend and there's a lot of new stuff and a ton of stuff that changed. It broke some of our layouts, themes and even add-ons, so please bear with us as we work through the lot of the issues!

Yes I understand that :). I started the thread before the updates. Was just meant as an update on the thread.

I know you guys and resident Polizei, are doing fantastic work and It's sincerely appreciated.
Honestly don't know how you find the time and is a very selfless act, so thank you !!
 
@Petester please see if the alerts are back and working on your side?

That's due to me fixing it at the time.
 
Just an update . Still no Alerts. I've got a couple that's all. I'm purposely watching all major forums so should be getting about 50 or more a day.
Tested on all Windows browsers, even Android ,so it can't be an external thing.
Still I seem to be the only one having this problem ? Very weird .

nope, not the only 1

for testing I watched the GPU section and I received like a handful out of the many replies that were posted

haven't done it to any other sub-cat though

I'm not alone :)
Just as an exercise I am watching about 8 sub forums ( ie : GPU . CPU, Laptops etc ) and I've only had about 4 alerts last day or so. Mine started before the upgrade as in first post when i got well over a 100 alerts for the same thread. Something happened due to that, because no more came in.

Today's daily update brought you by Petester Productions.
Special thanks to our sponsors. Pete's Peter Bread and Peteza's - Packed with Carb.

So the only Alert I am getting is for the Xbox Forum I am watching. That seems quite consistent.
All other watched Forums absolutely no Alerts.
Forums I comment in I always get an Alert.

Anyone got a magic wand ?

Just a quick q, have you checked all the alert options under your preferences? https://carbonite.co.za/index.php?account/preferences
