Notification lag. Is anyone else experiencing this?

[realworkingsailor]

I’ve noticed over the last few days that my notifications are lagging. Alerts for responses to threads I follow don’t show up immediately after a new post has been added (as had been the norm).

 

 

For example I am set to follow King Derelict’s Loarre Castle build and a post was made 26 minutes ago.

 

 

As you can see here, no notification alert is indicated, yet (?). The last notification being issued an hour ago.

 

Anyone else having this problem? Any thing I can do on my end to fix it?

Edit at 9:17 the notification arrived saying the post was added “6 minutes ago”, which still means a considerable time lag.

I've had the same issue recently.

We have had a recent core software update (a couple of days ago). Just checked notification settings and I didn't see anything unusual, except the auto-notification to a member who starts a topic. That was unchecked. I've now corrected that.

 

 

We've also had an update to the site's mySQL/MariaDB. As this site is driven by database queries, it could be that, but I would've thought it very unlikely.

@James H i am starting this post 7 minutes after you posted your reply. Still no notification (I manually opted to follow this topic when I first posted).

 

Maybe it is the second issue you mentioned. (I’m only randomly guessing).

Edit: notification arrived at 13:01 EST, 13 minutes after your post, advising that you had replied “Just Now”

Please can you reply again to this?

[James H]

I think this is server side. Looking into it now.

As of this morning I’m showing a one hour lag between your last post and notification. I’ll keep an eye out for more recent activity and let you know if there’s still a time lag.

Still seems to be lagging:

 

 

20 minutes so far and no notification.

Hi Chris, are you also getting delayed notifications too? 

 

@James H I’ve gone through and thinned down the number of topics I follow, but I don’t think that helped.

James asked me reply, to test the lag.

Hmm… there was no lag for this post, but I haven’t received any notification for your earlier replies.

[James H]

ok, can someone reply now?

[realworkingsailor]

Test reply

 

[James H]

Lag still exists. 

 

I'll look at this sometime this next week. As emails are still getting through, and some major email settings have been changed in WHM server panel, I'll add this to my list of jobs.

[James H]

Ok, how's things for everyone now. 

 

All my notification mail has been instant today. I checked them all as they arrived and checked the date/time stamp on each topic post.

[realworkingsailor]

It was still lagging earlier today, for me. I have noticed that for quoted posts, “likes” or “@“ tagged responses the notifications have been instantaneous.

[James H]

Lag isn't as bad, but not completely gone.

[realworkingsailor]

I’ll let you know when I get notified of your response… 🤪
 

Edit: 12 minutes.
