The profile is still active, and the post that was deleted wasn't really spam, I think...?

This is an interesting side effect of our "auto spam debris cleaner upperer" system.
Anything closed as spam will be auto-removed. Probably need to add a "unless there is a non-spam reply" which would entail ensuring members never reply to spam. OR we auto-nuke the entire thread if it's started as spam, but that seems unwise.
cheers

It's going to cause some problems as it stands - it looks like I'm accusing pkfox of being a spammer because the original culprit message is gone:
The Lounge[^]
Perhaps just leave the "Message closed" marker if there are any replies at all, and flag it for human review?

I posted this The Insider News[^] and instead of the updated forum, I got a generic looking 503 page back.
Swore under my breath, thinking I'd have to start over, but it seems my post worked.
FF 101.0.1 (64) on Ubuntu 20.04LTS if that matters.

It seem that on Quick Answers[^] listing pages, every full stop in a question title is followed by a <wbr> tag.

Yes, this is something they should fix asap!

Hi,
How do I see when someone comments on a 'QA' discussion? When I have a forum discussion there is a number up on the top right. But I am having to do a manual check on my QA discussions.
Is there a site setting I am missing? I want to have the site notify me when a comment is made in the QA. I looked but can't find a setting for this.
|
|
|
|
|
I get an email every time someone adds a comment to any of my solutions, or replies to any of my comments. Is that what you are referring to?
|

Is there a way to get the notifications without receiving emails? Just like the forum notifications on the top right?
|
|
|
|

I'm sorry I am still not sure what you are referring to. Do you mean the drop down at the red number just to the left of your name? I see QA responses in there, but do not get notified when it changes.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, I only see forum comments up there in the notification box. Should I be getting QA response too? I've never seen a QA response in my notifications box.
|
|
|
|

I think it may be in your settings. Go to Your Settings[^] and check the options in the "Forums and QA" and "Email" tabs.
Mine are:
1. Forums and QA:
2. Email
If that still doesn't change things then try a direct email to the admins.
|
|
|
|
|
I don't want email notifications.
I am specifically asking if the site can notify me when someone responds to QA discussions up there in the notification area.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We didn't actually provide email alerts for comments. This has been added and will be released tomorrow
cheers

I think you read the whole thread assiduously because, by the end of it, it's easy to forget that the request was not for an email, but for the little red box to show up with a number in it. That little red box to the left of your rep points and user name at the upper right. 
|
|
|
|
|
Well, that little red box comes for free once I wire up the email notification 
(They have both been implemented)
cheers

I have been receiving emails for QA comments to my Solutions, and replies to my comments, for years. What am I missing?
|
|
|
|
|
Are you now getting duplicates?
cheers

@Randor posted a couple of comments in Solution 3 to this question[^]. Each of them resulted in me getting 2 emails (quoted below). I also got 2 red box notifications for each post. I then posted a comment telling him what had happened, after which I received one email (also quoted below) and one notification for my own comment.
email 1: Randor has posted a comment on "How can bubble sort algorithm be implemented in C?":
Test (notification).
Do not hit 'reply' to this email. To reply, post a comment here.
email 2: Randor has posted a comment to the Answer "How can bubble sort algorithm be implemented in C?":
Test (notification).
email 3: Randor has posted a comment on "How can bubble sort algorithm be implemented in C?":
Test 2
Do not hit 'reply' to this email. To reply, post a comment here.
email 4: Randor has posted a reply to a comment on "How can bubble sort algorithm be implemented in C?":
Test 2
email 5: Greg Utas has posted a comment on "How can bubble sort algorithm be implemented in C?":
Each of your comments resulted in me getting 2 emails and 2 little red box notifications.
Do not hit 'reply' to this email. To reply, post a comment here.
And then two more emails and notifications when he told me that you'd asked about this.
|
|
|
|
|
And the notifications (red bubble up top): are you seeing 1 or 2 notifications for each comment?
(and thank you. I'll be in my office banging my head against a wall)
cheers

Was seeing 2 but now seeing 1.
EDIT: 2 notifications (red bubble) for k5054's response to my latest comment, one titled "CodeProject A comment has been added", and another one titled "A reply has been posted to a comment". Also emails with the same titles. Only one email and notification for Solution 2.
