New PMs not showing up in the inbox

9 years ago

I've been getting the notification for an unread private message, but when I check my inbox, no new messages have shown up. I've tried deleting old messages in case my inbox was too full, but it hasn't seemed to make a difference.

Any ideas what's wrong?

It's under the other ones....

What the hell? Its doing it for two different messages I received in the last few minutes...

From different users too...

Same - they're at the bottom of the conversation instead of at the top.

Notifications are broken too - I see that there are posts in threads that I'm watching, but the notifications page doesn't actually update with which threads they are.

--Edit--

Logging out, clearing cache, and logging back in didn't fix it. Neither did logging in on a different device.

Very weird.... especially as I just cleared the cache and even tried logging out... somethings up

And now its working again when i received a message from a third person? What!?

Your message was so profound that it broke the website XD

Or was it yours? Nah, I was told it has to do with the time.

Okay, so in summary, there seem to be a bunch of bugs related to time stamps right now:

1) New PMs get sorted under older PMs in the PM conversation threads.
2) Notifications aren't updating correctly
3) The thread that is the most recently posted in no longer gets bumped to the top of its respective forum's thread list.

Daylight saving time confuses this place. Happens every year, I'm pretty sure.

Real issue likely has to do with the time on the server. Maybe it's something to do with daylight saving time coming up.

Oh, good. SNAFU then, nothing to panic about. XD Thanks for the heads up.

Okay, really freaking out...

A story that I co-authored briefly just for proofreading, weeks ago? It just popped onto my screen from no where and was letting me access the story again. I shouldn't be able to do this, I removed myself like I said weeks ago...
