New Posts to Threads

At least twice today there have been new posts to threads I'm watching and I have received no notification. Can anyone tell me what the problem is? Thanks!

Maybe do a shift-refresh on your home page to make sure the latest version is loaded? A lot of times when I go back to the home page it keeps an older version of the page and then the alert wouldn't show up. My watched threads have been showing up fine so I don't think it's a sitewide problem, either your computer isn't refreshing or maybe it's just an issue with one or two threads.

No - I already did things like that. I know what to do with my PC when it's acting up, which is seldom.

Sorry, no idea then!

Well, whatever was going on my computer caught it too! I've had 2 of my threads in the ID forum have new posts but not show up on the home page (even when it was refreshed properly). There are other threads I've been watching which work fine, and one of my 3 threads in the ID forum did alert me, but the other two didn't.

HA! I've been vindicated! LOL!! :>)

It seems very random, just now one of the threads that had previously not popped up with new messages got another post and this time it showed up, so it doesn't seem to be tied to one particular thread, guess it's just a random bug.

That happened to me too yesterday on your thread Marilyn.

Maybe it's some weird bug that's just out to get us Bay Area people! LOL

Ok, where's the scared shocked smilie when you need one?!!

Oh, poo, I can't get it to make one. Dave said to make it like this ^_^ and then when it posted it'd turn into a smiley. But it won't work for me.

I take it all back - it does work! It just doesn't show up in a preview. Anyway, do it like this: ^ _ ^ without the spaces between the characters.

I know how to make that one, I want a shocked and scared one!! LOL
^_^

I don't think Dave's going to allow more smileys, but I wish he would. I think they're great!
