Not getting email notifications on certain topics


Recommended Posts

Very weird bug, and as far as I know, it's only happening on two threads; the Cyanide and Happiness thread, and the big WWE thread.

The only things these threads have in common are that I've made a lot of posts in them (around a few hundred or so; I've lost count). I've tried following the topics using the button at the top, but it doesn't work; it looks like it's gone through, but when I refresh the page, it's not actually gone through.

Ooh, I just remembered another bug that happens on these threads too. When I make a new post using the Quick Reply box, I just get the little loading squares in the top-right endlessly cycling around, but if I refresh the page, my new post is there.

Anyone else been suffering from these problems?

Bump. Got another thing to add to the bug...

This page appears if I post using the full editor in the offending threads mentioned above. Is there any hope of a fix for this? It's only been happening since the last major IPB update, so I can only assume it's something to do with that; perhaps one of the coders could shed some light on the situation? :)

This is a major problem with big threads. Like WWE, The Thread Formerly Known As, Religion Thread, Battlefield 3 and the list goes on and on and on.

And that Database error, I am getting it a lot lately, when I post in one of these threads. :(

No one seems to care

Ahh, I'm glad it's not just me getting these problems then.

Neobond, we have been asking devs to fix the editor for a looooong time.

Even sent one a personal message, but no response. :(

Because you're asking the wrong person, I'm not a developer/coder! :p

Thread revival!

I don't know if anything's happened behind the scenes, but the problems have finally been fixed for me! :D

Potentially fixed yes, it's an issue that can happen if a spammer posts in the thread. I'm not 100% sure the notification issue related to it is resolved, but we can wait and see.

For the last week I have not had any notifications for any of the threads I am subscribed to, I have gone into my account settings and reset the notification options but am still not getting notifications for any of the topics I sub/reply to :(

[edit]

Just thought I would check "my Notifications" and there is nothing noted since March of this year, even this thread is not listed :(

    • Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • 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 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.
