Hi!
I get the notification emails after an hour or two but never earlier than half an hour. Is this an issue (just for me/my region - Slovakia) or the settings of the Discourse server are set this way?
Thank you!
EDIT: and I didn’t get the notification count displayed on my avatar today. I was already suspicious that sometimes I am not notified but today it happened for sure…
I’ve checked the Discourse forum and found several topics about these issues.
First, yeah email as part of a workflow is really only completely effective when either you are just passively watching, like on vacation and not going to do anything in any case, or just being used as a fallback if you are not paying close attention at the time.
EMail can be delayed for a number of reasons, which no one really controls.
I have occasionally seen things which never got listed in the avatar click. My own theory is they seem to happen when I am on the page, but the page is on a back tab. You get a little note in the bottom right of the first 100 characters or so for a few seconds, but not if you are not watching at the time, you’ll miss it.
That scenario is probably testable to see if it holds water, but I never thought it important enough to bother.
