  • But I normally check the thread on every email received. I realise it's not sending updates when there's more posts, I'm talking about updates just stopping even though I'd have read the email notification and clicked through to the thread in question.
    Perhaps I missed one but it does seem to happen a lot.

  • It does seem more noticeable on Microcosm than elsewhere, but whenever it's been questioned I've been able to follow through the notifications log, prove emails dispatched and opened (yup, that bit of the system logs stuff).

    I've wondered whether it's because I put the full message into an email notification. On mobile devices this means it feels like you've caught up and read everything when actually you've only read the notification.

    So it is a chore... to get the next notification, click the link to the item. On mobile that is a pretty shitty experience, and where I think the problem is.

  • It's definitely possible I've been out, on the phone, probably pissed and clicked through to stuff then not finished the thread, but I was aware of that and not often reading forum stuff on my phone. Maybe I could stop using the mobile for the forum altogether (I'd need to block it, really) then it would eliminate that possibility.

  • I've been militant opening every email and not using the mobile for the forum and I've not noticed the problem so it was probably me maybe walking around, opening an email on the phone, then having to put the phone down quickly without reading the thread.
