Notification count indicator missing?
-
Has anyone else noticed that since the restart, you don't get the blue circle with the count of unread notifications in the top bar any longer? Kind of annoying.
-
ENOREPRO
it works for me.
do you happen to have a tab open in the background with the notifications open?
possibly on a different computer?
that's caused me issues like that before.
-
Working OK here too.
-

No. I've seen it on three computers in the last couple of days.
The unread count indicator wasn't there before I clicked the icon to get the menu, and it was a few days ago.
-
Mine was there like, two minutes ago. I'll try to remember to grab a shot next time I have notifications.
-
Here's a notification so you can screenshot it.
-
Thanks :)
-
โฆwhere did you get that envelope icon from?
-
-
And to confirm what I believed, viewing the source of the notification (the liked post, the reply, etc.) dismisses the notification bubble, or at least lowers the count, though I wouldn't know for sure since I never tend to have more than (1) showing up at any given time. Except when it's badges from the Likes thread, but those don't seem to dismiss automatically ever.

Confirmed, mine vanished as I scrolled down to hit reply after taking the screenshot.

Sure, that's how it's always worked. But when I get a new notification, I don't get the bubble with the number in it like in your screenshot.

Sounds Schrรถdingery to me... how do you know there were new notifications until after you expand the box... and once the box expands, the number isn't supposed to show up anyway!

I didn't know there were new ones, but I've never gone a day without having at least one, I don't think, in almost all the time since I started posting, so I checked because I haven't been seeing any.
FWIW a few minutes ago, I think when @Yamikuronue replied to me last, something popped up over the icon for a fraction of a second and immediately vanished, but I wasn't looking at it directly.
-
And just after typing that last post, I clicked on the thing because I still have a couple of unread notifications, and as I clicked on it, a 1 bubble popped up, and immediately went away.
-
Do you have a cyberparts running?
-
-
I just saw it do the flicker thing again.
Now I think I happen to have TDWTF open on my phone, too, but I've done that in the past and notifications still worked right.
@sam, @riking, @codinghorror, any ideas why this might be happening?
-
Any errors in your browser console log? Any new or updated extensions that may be fiddling around?
-
No extensions I've manually added or updated in months. How do you tell if they auto-update (or do they even do that?)
I don't see any errors in the console, although just now I got a green bubble for a notification.
-
How do you tell if they auto-update (or do they even do that?)
I don't know how to tell if/when they do if they don't announce it. Did find out, though, there's an extension to notify you if other extensions auto-update in Chrome. You might be able to disable auto-updating in Firefox, but from what I can find, you can't disable it in Chrome.
I got a green bubble
And it didn't go away immediately? Thinking something you're logged in on would have to be looking at your notifications.
-
And it didn't go away immediately?
The green bubbles only go away after you look at the message topic. The blue bubbles go away once you pop open the list. The red bubbles make you deal with the flag. The voices...never go away...
-
once you pop open the list
Or once you view what the bubble is a notification for. Neither of which is what @FrostCat says he is doing. Just trying to narrow the scope.
-

Yes, if it's just one. Sometimes.

True.
-

Apparently this works pretty well actually:
I have done nothing yet:
Now I have clicked on one of my two threads I asked people to generate notifications with, WITHOUT clicking the bubble (it took all my nerve)
Now the other, still not clicking the bubble
And some joker replied someplace else:
-
And it didn't go away immediately?
Not until I actually clicked on the notification itself. The blue ones seem to appear for a fraction of a second and then go away.
-
I will try the site in IE in a minute--I usually use Chrome.
-
Not working right in IE either.
-
Can we confirm this is not "extension" related, can you disable all userscripts / custom theme and see if it is still an issue?
-
I don't use userscripts at all, because I'm too lazy to figure out how to do it.
I just got home, fired up Chrome, saw there was no indicator, hit the icon anyway, and had like 5 highlighted notifications.
I then switched to the Discourse Default style, which of course didn't make the bubble appear. I'll watch for the next little bit to see what happens if/as people reply.
A reminder:
PMs seem to work properly.
-
-
Or quote, as the case may be.
You didn't @mention me so in this case it's the same thing.
I just got back from the store and I had no bubble but three new notifications.
All of which were from you. ARE YOU STALKING ME? </blakeyrant>
-
Try log out / log in, which will invalidate all other sessions you might have open.
-
Ok. Will see what happens next.
-
have a notification to test with!
-
And it's back!
I switched from Chrome to IE, logged out and back in, noticed that the CSS had flipped back to TDWTF Default (this apparently isn't stored with your user profile, which makes sense), so I put it to Discourse Default again, and logged out and back in, and got a bubble.
Have fun figuring out which situation made it work again...
-
BTW--switched back to Chrome again, TDWTF Default CSS is back. I don't know where that pref is stored, and I don't know if it's a bug or not, but it's something for either the discodevs or @PJH to consider.
-
And it's back!
woo!
i still bet you had the notifications dropdown open in a forgotten tab somewhere on one of your computers ;-)
that the CSS had flipped back to TDWTF Default
it do that. AFAIR that's stored in a cookie, but every time the CSS changes (by upgrade or @PJH tweaking something) it gets a new UUID and so the cookie points to a CSS style that doesn't exist so you go back to discourse default. ;-)
-

Reasonable assumption except I changed my password...yesterday? The day before? So I had already forcibly logged out all my sessions without realizing it...although now I know why I had to sign back in in a bunch of places recently.

Well, TDWTF default, but I guess.
If it's not a bug, fine, but if it was, I wanted to report it.

This is the only time I've observed this
slightlyannoying behaviour. It's usually noticed at work or in the pub when I've got that dropdown open on a tab at home.switched back to Chrome again, TDWTF Default CSS is back
That is the default (unless you're in /admin - @sam, is that on the list of things to fix?) if you do not deliberately choose another from the dropdown.
Discourse Default
(what you were expecting?) exists largely for the purpose of determining whether a UI bug is my fault or DC's - "Disable all addons/scripts/themes" sorta thing - and for those who don't like my tweaks.but every time the CSS changes (by upgrade or @PJH tweaking something) it gets a new UUID
Incorrect. Creating a new style is the only thing I've observed that generates a new UUID - tweaking an existing style doesn't change it; if it did I'd be a lot more reluctant to be tweaking them in the first place.
-

Oh.
I sit corrected then.
whoopsies!
-

Ahhh...didn't realize that would fix it.
-
Oh - and for where it's stored (or ignored):
If it's not there, unless you're under /admin, it defaults to what I've called
TDWTF Default.
-
I changed my password...yesterday? The day before? So I had already forcibly logged out all my sessions
-
Well, something logged me out everywhere. I may have logged out and back in for some reason and that caused it.
-
If it's not there, unless you're under /admin, it defaults to what I've called
Discourse DefaultTDWTF Default.TDWTF default = the set of "enabled" stylesheets. You get this with no cookie.
Discourse default = no extra stylesheets. You get this in /admin.
-
Getting myself mixed up there. Corrected in the OP.
-
That was fixed, although not sure if it's in the version we're on.
