Notifications

[RBwonga]

Hi all, was just wondering why when people comment on my posts it doesn't show up in the notifications?

[34GeeTeeTee]

Yeah i dont seem to get them although i thought i set them up to work............ But that is because i am mildly retarded so hopefully this thread points me in the right direction lol

[Plattsy]

whoretown isnt working either.

[R31Nismoid]

I'm getting them fine.

I suggest you guys check that

1. You've checked the "Follow this topic" button in the top right corner

2. You've set-up your Profile/Settings/Email - correctly. You actually need to go in a tick a couple of boxes (there have been threads on this in the section before).

[Plattsy]

yep.

lulz thread and whoretown bob.

wont let you follow. when you post it just says saving post. you have to refresh the page.

and wont give you any notifications.

brought this up a few weeks back.

i know its nothing to do with me or any of my 6 computers/devices i use, because other people have the problem and nearly every other thread is fine.

[R31Nismoid]

It worked fine for me - I just did it.

Top right corner "Follow this topic".

I set to "instant notifications".

It's working.

I don't see a problem here.

[Plattsy]

ive just checked it on my work mac. the work pc and my iphail. cant follow it at all!

ive even gone as far as ripping firefox off the computer and re installing it. when adzmax opened the new hometown it worked fine for a few days then the same issues happened again. ill ask them see if anyone else is havin the issues still.

[R31Nismoid]

Well I'm using Google Chrome and it's working fine for me.

It's not a special admin access based function - it's the same for all users so there isn't an issue.

Ensure you let the page FULLY load before trying to race through and click the button. If the page hasn't fully loaded it might not load the button correctly.

[Plattsy]

thanks mate. great help. let the page load.

anyway ive asked the other kids there to jump on here and let you know there issues.

they may be able to word it better. i know its an issue because i get a message on the iphail. ill take a screen shot and post it up.

plus my account is set to automatically follow a thread once i comment. i know this because it does it to every other thread i comment in bar those two.

[Plattsy]

and when i post in there it doesnt sho up on spy. but does for every other thread i post.

any who here is the message i get on the phone.

No need for the sarcasm, we are trying to help you, and cannot find a problem.

If you are going to just dismiss the advice being given, do you really expect us to keep helping?

I've tested with non-admin account, also works fine.

You might have to manually click for that topic only.

[Plattsy]

forgive the sarcasm. i apologise. but you were rather condescending.

i cant manually click. i try too, it brings up the pop up box etc i press ok but then nothing. the small number next to the follow box is also reading zero. again, over all my computers.... could it be an account problem?

[R31Nismoid]

So you check the "instant notification" box, and then when trying to click the secondary "follow this topic" button - it does not load?

Have you tried Chrome?

[Plattsy]

no it loads. finishes loading, then it just goes back to follow this topic with the number 0 next to it.

its not firefox, as i said i can follow loads of other topics and i do. its just a few in the wasteland that it wont let me......

[R31Nismoid]

That did not quite answer the question - Have you tried it in Chrome?

I'm trying to rule things out one by one. What you can (or can't) do else where I'm not worried about yet.

[Plattsy]

my bad give me five mins to get it...

the way you worded it sounded like "you should use chrome"

[Plattsy]

test failed.

exactly the same in google chrome. also in internet explorer. so its not a browser or computer issue.

back to you mate. unless you can think of anything else this end?

[R31Nismoid]

I worded it exactly how i meant it

What Antivirus are you using?

Does your Chrome (or Firefox) have any add-ons running in either? If so - have you tried disabling them all and then trying?

Does the actual "pop-up box" appear when you click on the "Follow this topuc" button?

[Plattsy]

I worded it exactly how i meant it

What Antivirus are you using? none (shh) well windows defender.

Does your Chrome (or Firefox) have any add-ons running in either? If so - have you tried disabling them all and then trying?

(nope none what so ever)

Does the actual "pop-up box" appear when you click on the "Follow this topuc" button?

(yes that pops up. i click follow this topic, the box dissapears i get those little green loading lines on my screen then nothing. i scroll back to top of the page and nothing has changed. it still says follow this topic and the number next to it is zero.)

[Plattsy]

ok so ive checked a few of the threads ive posted in....

its all wasteland!

whoretown (bob)

lulz

and a few of the nsfw threads.

its very strange....
