  • @Velocio -Any ideas what may have happened to my account? I am still not receiving most of my notification, I get a few come through (today from the bikepacking thread and classified and on @ mention). It seems none of my watched threads in the miscellaneous and meaningless section work, I have marked all as read, unfollowed and followed again but nothing comes through. I have checked spam folder and there is nothing from LFGSS. Has anyone else ever had this happen?

    If you don't know what is going on, don't worry about it. It is probably doing me a favour as my time on the site has probably gone down by several factors of 10!!!

  • Honestly I've no idea at all.

    I've been through the logs that I have, and I can see every instance of this software attempting to send an email to you via the Sendgrid API... and every one of those is successful.

    I've then been through the Sendgrid logs showing all of the emails received there and them being delivered to Gmail.com where your account is... and every one of those is successful.

    For example the last email sent to you was at 5:08 UTC this morning, i.e. 6:08 BST. It was a notification of an update to a thread, and it shows Gmail receiving it for you.

    Yesterday some 29 email notifications were processed for you, and every single one of them was successfully delivered to Gmail.

    I also see that you are watching (following) 545 things, and that of those 484 are set to send email to you, and in the database I track when I last notified about something and none of those timestamps are older than the timestamps of the thing you're watching for where you've read up to... meaning the notifications are sent.

    I even see that yesterday's 29 notifications related to 4 threads https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/151796/ https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/282005/ https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/187325/ https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/330642/ and also a notificatio about a new item in https://www.lfgss.com/microcosms/1563/ .

    The 29 updates for 4 threads means that yup... someone posts something new, you get notified once (even if multiple people now reply), you visit, it resets the notification on the visit, someone else replies after you've visited, it sends a notification again.

    I see no evidence at all that there is anything different or incorrect with the email notifications to your email, and the code has not changed, the database has not changed, the email API has not changed, the use of Sendgrid has not changed.

    If you want the full email experience again, I would suggest two things:

    1. Check your spam folder, and ensure that anything from LFGSS is not marked as spam.
    2. Visit https://www.lfgss.com and on the bottom right hand side click "Mark Everything Read" so you will get delivery for everything and rebuild the state behind the notifications.
  • Thanks for checking all of this, it is a strange one isn't it.

    There is no LFGSS at all in the gmail spam and I marked all as read sometime last week.

    Please do not spend anymore time on this, it is probably a good thing because I spend far less time on the site!! Perhaps it will start working again some point in the future?!

  • I have sussed this. The checkmark in the root 'miscellaneous and meaningless' page was unchecked. It must overwrite the inherited ticks(??). I am now getting the notifications again. I am sure I tried this a few weeks ago but all good now.
