message 1: by Rainbowheart (new)

Rainbowheart | 27829 comments It's just started happening the last few days, but I'm not getting notifications for all the topics I've commented on. I seem to only get a limited number, and when I click on the "unsolved" folder, I see several more topics I'm following with unread replies that don't appear on my notifications page.


message 2: by 0possum (new)

0possum | 70 comments I noticed it too. I was wondering if it had anything to do with spam. It appears that I no longer get notifications in the topics I've flagged for spam. There may be absolutely no correlation at all. It just seemed to start happening when I started flagging. and there has been boatloads of spam lately.


message 3: by Rainbowheart (new)

Rainbowheart | 27829 comments Glad it's not just me! It's still happening, unfortunately. Not sure if it's related to flagging for spam. I've reported spam for ages, and this problem has only surfaced within the past week.


message 4: by Rainbowheart (new)

Rainbowheart | 27829 comments Am I the only one whose notifications are turning up like 10 hours late?

It's been happening to me for months, plus I don't get many notifications.


message 6: by Aerulan (new)

Aerulan | 1309 comments Notifications have always been extremely unreliable for me, but they're worse than usual lately. Running many many hours behind the comments that generate them.
To the point that I'm now getting notifications for the first comment in new threads where I subscribed after it was posted (with no other activity since) and then five or more hours later I get a notification of that first post that was made before I subscribed to the thread.

I'm also getting some notifications twice for the same comment. Once when it posts, and one 18 hrs later, but the notification implies it's a new comment "Amelia commented 2 minutes ago" but really it was 18 hrs ago.


message 8: by Rainbowheart (new)

Rainbowheart | 27829 comments Glad it's not just me!

Hopefully it's fixed soon. It's been worse the last 2 or 3 days.


message 9: by Anne (new)

Anne | 107 comments I agree, this is happening me too.


Asia | Adventures with Asia Minor (booknerd117) | 210 comments Same here! It's happening both to my GR notifications and my email notifications.

It's actually really annoying! I've never had this problem before.


message 11: by Rainbowheart (new)

Rainbowheart | 27829 comments It looks like they're running exactly 20 hours behind. I just got a notification now for Aerulan's comment.

Bargle | 1738 comments Yep, I've been getting this also.

Old notifications thread.


message 13: by Rainbowheart (new)

Rainbowheart | 27829 comments The delay seems to be getting better. They're only running about 3 hours behind now.


message 14: by Rainbowheart (new)

Rainbowheart | 27829 comments It's been a week now! This is getting aggravating.

I thought the delay was getting better, but I just got a notification for something posted 8 hours ago.


message 15: by Wanda (new)

Wanda | 13 comments I dont receive notifications,


message 16: by Courtney (new)

Courtney (andforamoment) | 310 comments Yeah it seems like I get notifications once a day which is not normal


Tris |"I'll leave the morrow for the morrow. Today is enough and more."| Prior today it seemed to be catching up but now its stopping again


message 18: by Rainbowheart (new)

Rainbowheart | 27829 comments It seems back to normal now, at least on my end.

I'm finding it to be hiccupy.


message 20: by Rainbowheart (new)

Rainbowheart | 27829 comments It seemed like it was fixed and now notifications have gone all wonky again!

It's almost like a switch is being flipped on and off.
when it comes on you get ones from the on time but the ones from the off time never show up.
(Well, i hope that's not too confusing .)


message 22: by Rainbowheart (new)

Rainbowheart | 27829 comments Oh God! The notification delay is back.

Right now it's running 20 hours behind. :(

Still wonky.


message 24: by Rainbowheart (new)

Rainbowheart | 27829 comments Yep, and Listopia lists are not being re-scored either.

I think notifications are not going out at all. I haven't seen any for awhile.


message 26: by Rainbowheart (new)

Rainbowheart | 27829 comments I'm getting them periodically, but they're more than 24 hours behind.

I got this one about 30 min ago. It's the 1st I've seen for a few days.


message 28: by Heather L (new)

Heather L  (wordtrix) | 74 comments I haven’t received any for group discussions since last Wednesday afternoon, but receive notifications for people liking book updates. Weird much?? Wish they’d get this straightened out already!


message 29: by Rainbowheart (new)

Rainbowheart | 27829 comments Mine seem like they're all back to normal. For now, anyway!


message 30: by Heather L (new)

Heather L  (wordtrix) | 74 comments Well, that lasted all of about three days.... 😒


message 31: by Rainbowheart (new)

Rainbowheart | 27829 comments Notifications all wonky again. :(


message 32: by Capn (new)

Capn | 3462 comments Yep, I noticed too.


message 33: by Jaye (new)

Jaye  | 422 comments None since February 11th, late afternoon.


message 34: by Melanie (new)

Melanie | 592 comments It’s happening again. Grrrrrrrr

3 days now.


message 36: by Aerulan (new)

Aerulan | 1309 comments Yep, three days for me too.


message 37: by Heather L (new)

Heather L  (wordtrix) | 74 comments They’ve started filtering in again over the past hour, starting with notifications from the 11th. So...how long do we think it will last this time? 😐


message 38: by Rainbowheart (new)

Rainbowheart | 27829 comments Looks like they're catching up. I'm getting notifications now from the 13th.


message 39: by PaulGamerBoy360 (new)

PaulGamerBoy360 I Get Mine A Day After It Happens and then half the time I don't get them.


message 40: by Jaye (new)

Jaye  | 422 comments I think notifications are down again.
I looked around a bit and see some that i wasn't notified about.

12 hours none.


message 41: by JennyG (new)

JennyG | 605 comments Anyone else not getting notifications?

I haven't had any since the middle of december.

Who does one turn to about this issue?

I'm getting them at the moment. But I had a stretch of about four months where I didn't get any notifications. I looked around at the time and it seemed to be a just me problem. I didn't want to deal with GRs shitty help system (I've had notification problems before and they always just blow me off and claim it's not happening) so I just waited and eventually they came back. Which isn't very helpful I know.
I hope you can find a better/faster solution.


message 43: by JennyG (new)

JennyG | 605 comments Thank you Aerulan.


message 44: by Heather L (new)

Heather L  (wordtrix) | 74 comments I would start by checking spam/junk folders to make sure notifications aren’t being flagged by your email service. I have also occasionally accidentally hit the “spam� button when I meant to hit “delete,� which is a major PITA if I don’t realize I’ve hit it and suddenly stop receiving notices. WHY do they put them so close together???

The one thing I’ve been missing the last few months is the daily update on what friends are reading. I found it easier to scroll than checking my homepage, which I do not look at daily.


message 45: by PaulGamerBoy360 (new)

PaulGamerBoy360 I am only getting some of my notifications, I get like 2 out of the 20 notifications I should be getting each day.


message 46: by Capn (new)

Capn | 3462 comments Yep. Me too, for several days or more (more, if I'm honest).

SamSpayedPI | 2299 comments So what else is new?

Frankly, it's more of a notable event when ŷ notifications are working properly.


message 48: by Eric (new)

Eric Bruce | 235 comments This hasn't been my experience . I find ŷ excellent and have never had a notification problem .


message 49: by Jaye (new)

Jaye  | 422 comments I'm thinking the notifications, or lack of them, has something to do with which area of goodreads that they originate.
I noticed that i never get notifications of comments on a friend's review. If i comment i am sure to check the correct notifications boxes but i never get them.
I do get notifications from group discussions.


message 50: by PaulGamerBoy360 (new)

PaulGamerBoy360 Notifications down again.
