Missing comment notifications: is @-tagging buggy?

+3
−0

With respect to the comment thread https://math.codidact.com/comments/thread/9445 I make the following observations:

  1. I received notifications for the first three comments.
  2. I do not believe that I have unsubscribed from notifications on that thread.
  3. It has an "Unfollow" link at the top, which implies that I am following it.
  4. I have not received notifications for the comments which I made (which is good) or for the comments where user xamidi @-tagged me (which is not good). I only became aware of those comments because I'm a mod on the site and occasionally check the "Recent comments" mod tool.

Have the notifications stopped working in general somewhere between the 13th and the 16th of June, or is there a bug in the @-tagging?

I can confirm that you are following the thread, so you should have received a notification with or without the explicit ping. What's odd is that we haven't pushed any updates in that time window. We'll look into this -- thanks for the report.

Debugging: I've left a new comment in that thread (without pinging you). Did that produce a notification?

Peter Taylor‭ wrote 6 months ago

It did. I've replied with a ping.

Thanks. I'm now going to try one more (same thread), with an explicit ping this time. Please let me know if you get that one too.

No, only for the message in this thread.

Thanks for the help with testing! I did get a notification when you pinged me, which is strange because by commenting in the thread I was automatically following it. (I was wondering if the code was only notifying non-followers on @-mentions but that code was broken. But if so, I shouldn't have gotten that notification.) We're going to need to do some more digging.
