Recent fault in Discussion Board coding - notifications show no thread link

[countessalmirena]

Since the day before yesterday, there has been a problem with notifications (on smart phone, not using the app).

There is no bell icon to advise users of a new helpful vote or solution to a thread, and also there is no link to the thread or post which was “solved” or given a helpful vote.

To illustrate, see the screenshot below. You’ll see the difference between notifications where there is a link to the relevant post, and notifications where there is no link. (I’ve scribbled out the names, and also red-arrowed where the link does appear as it should.)

Without a link, the notification is useless.

I request that IT fix this.

It's happening on my computer with Win 10 and Firefox Countess - eBay "enhancing" our boards experience.

.........or simply meddling with things just for the sake of it ( justifying their jobs ? )............

The old adage comes to mind "If it ain't broken................."

I am inclined to say it’s option nº 2.

You won’t have had the presumably visceral thrill of a notification experience even though I just gave you a helpful vote. That’s just frustrating!

The IT guys must be listening to us Countess 😂..........the function's back, for me anyway. 😎

[countessalmirena]

Yes!

The missing link has been remedied!

Well now they've 'tinkered' with messages.

They're not getting through   😡

[countessalmirena]

Stawka, I’ll send you a message as another test.

[imastawka]

Your message came through Countess.

Seems the message I didn't get.........I did.

Another member was decidedly confused and confused me while they were at it.

So......all good on the message front.

From the eBay prayer:

Our messages come, the links be shown

And logging in be rendered with ease.

Give us this day not the daily glitches
And lead us not into confusion…

[twyngwyn]

But deliver us from daily gremlins

For thine is the programming

Forever and ever....amen
