Marcel (Redmak) has tweaked the notifications drop down list in forums and the main page to show a lot quicker, had something to do with:

optimized the "setting notifications to read" query

After testing main page notifications, they now show after around 500ms (firebug) when before it was anything up to 2000ms.

We're also still working on locating the issues that cause slowdowns, these little tweaks go a long way to resolving the bigger picture.

Edit: Combined notifications isn't yet implemented on the forums, it's a bit down our "to-do" list

Any chance for combined notifications for FPN comments?

I know I want to slowly stop posting there, so not really a long term issue for me, appearantly you guys want to help me pull out of FPN comments. :p

Other than that, everything seems pretty cool so far, I miss notifications on the mobile site on the front page...

Any news about that?

Someone just replied to one of my posts, but it didn't appear in my notifications this time, it has been working up until now, I haven't changed any ignore / notifications preferences

Yep, not getting notifications for any replies atm, checked the tick boxes and they are all set as they should be, and as they have always been

Any ideas ? I`m missing replies, last notification was yesterday and I've had a few replies today

I'm not having issues getting notifications. I am however experiencing an oddity. I've cleared cache on 3 different computers yet I still see 2 envelopes if I have a notification waiting. It looks perfectly normal until I get a notification, then it shows 2 open envelopes.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.

      I don't believe them that anyone using threads, at least meaningfully. It's the same thing for Facebook, people just don't engage with Meta platforms like they are thinking. This isn't 2006.
