Zero Notifications of watched threads after some weeks

[Emm-A-]

Hey guys,

I was wondering, whether this is a bug or not, but I decided to post it here, since for me, it practically acts like one;

so I realized that after some weeks, I do not get any notifications of watched threads anymore. This is quite annoying as I lose track to all the subjects I find interesting and eventually forget about some of them. When I check the threads, they are still tagged as watched ...

Is is this a bug or is there some way to extend the period, hive is keeping track of watched threads? if there is a period, I would suggest to preset it to "forever".

Best regards

I also have this kind of case. If I view a thread I've watched, and kept on viewing it atleast once a day with new posts. Then after more days, there's no more alert showing up. I checked that thread and a lot had already happened.

I say it's useful while also annoying. Once I commented on another thread that I won't check anymore, I get alerts of it which I would ignore, and then I would stop getting alerts of that thread.

I get this issue quite a bit. I have to occasionaly check "Watched Threads" to see if I missed anything.

Really? I almost wish I had the opposite issue; I don't want to hear about every single rando posting on some ancient model I commented on years back (I talked a while back about 'selective subscriptions', where you would only be notified if specific people commented on the thread/resource)... But I guess that's neither here nor there.

Um, huh. I have always (I think?) gotten the notifications I was warranted. This would be frustrating.

This works as designed. It was the same on the old site. You are only ever notified once something new happens until you have viewed it.

Thanks for the comments. so you are saying, it will stop notifying me, if I did not check out the formerly newest notification? I can see, why you designed it that way. But, is there a way, I can make a thread make me notify again? Unchecking and "Re-Checking" the "watched" status should do right?

I didn't design it . It's just how XenForo works. Simply reading the last post of the thread will probably ensure that you get an alert next time a post is made.
