    To update. I have been spending some time trying to understand why the unread posts looks wrong, I am still going round in circles but at least it seems that the the database is correct so the forum is not doing the logic correctly. I am still trying to get my head around that part of the code but I have not connected all the dots yet, but progress is being made!

      After further investigation with the unread posts issue (which is connected to the wrong vote count and so on) it has been placed in the hands of IT now. After checking the database and NodeBB, the problem does not seem to stem from there but potentially due to how our forum is generally hosted it would seem. I was able to see two different set of unread lists from the same IP but on two different computers. Indicating that it is not consistently incorrect but something else seems to be getting in the way here. We hope to have it resolved soon, and I will focus on the other known issues while that goes on.

        @AndyS Is there any real benefit in the last 'Updates' ?
        I mean nothing really changed.., i only can see a useless 'votes' column in the topic list (usless because it counts OPs question votes) and nothing else.
        is it worth to introduce 50 bugs for that ? Forum is broken for nothing for days

        • "last answer" feature is broken
        • sometimes you see "No one has replied" but there are 3-4 answers already
        • upvotes show 0 if vote < 2
          ...

            @LeLev the issues you are seeing are not connected to the forum updates at all from what I can tell. Something has gone off with the setup itself which is why the issues are happening. As mentioned in my latest update I was able to see on two different computers a different result, it was correct on one computer but incorrect on the other. Therefore both the database and forum software are appearing to work correctly. However we do have some form of load distribution in place for the server so we suspect something might be wrong on that side of things so it is being investigated further.

            It is unfortunate that this happened, but at least with future updates it will be possible to do it closer to the release so it makes it easier to stay on top of issues as they are occur and we hope to have this one solved soon.

              Ok, the fav-icon I can understand why it goes away, the problem is due to how our server works so the change I made doesn't get saved, therefore I need to do it a different way to make it stick. I'll try and sort that out today, though I am not sure why it stopped working initially because it has nothing to do with the upgrades.

              So while you're waiting for the counter issue, can you fix the "favicon", please, I want to be able to see something noticeable on my bookmarks bar, please :)

              @AndyS said in Known issues with Qt Forum:

              @JonB It should have worked and it did come up before but that was supposedly resolved. So it seems that it has come back again but I also feel that this is all related to the same cause so I just need to figure out what that is. I was hoping to do that today but something more pressing came up so I had to deal with that first. But hopefully I will be able to move forward with this soon. Although it works for me, it bugs the hell out of me too :)

              And I still find that if you/others write @JonB inline like that I do not get the notification alarm so I never know you have replied. If that is/was supposed to work (as opposed to going full Reply), can we have that back too, because this one actually matters! :)

                That is next on my list yes, the file is uploaded but for some reason it refuses to keep the link to it. But I hope to have that figured out asap.

                This one is odd because I have had no problems with this myself, is anyone else experiencing problems with the notification?

                  Now, you just went Quote, didn't you? And I do not get a notification for that either. But if you had gone Reply, I would have done.

                  Now, someone's signature does/used to say "Please press 'Reply', not 'Quote', so that I get notified". So the notification must be something to do with how it parses? This is why I have been asking whether just writing "@JonB ...." at the start, which seems to be popular atm for whatever reason, has ever worked or whether it's in the same category as "Quote" which I don't think has ever notified?

                    @JonB But using quote does put your name at the top, can you screen shot your notification settings in the profile and send me it via PM?

                      I don't know if this was mentioned before, but one curious thing about the notifications is that I seem to be getting the right amount of the notification sounds and right about when the changes happen. It's just the notification icon and list that don't update.

                        It has always been correct for me at least, but I noticed there is some difference if you are on the page already or something so the icon may not update as it counts as you already seeing it

                          I was on another page and got 4 sounds, then a popup on the lower right corner but no new notifications on the list or count on the icon. When I refreshed the page the icon still showed nothing but there was notification on the list (but not highlighed, as if I've already seen it), and when I clicked it it brought me to this topic and there were indeed 4 new posts I haven't seen.

                            Its possibly related to the same unread issue then in that case, we are not sure why that happens but it does depend on the same process to update it so odds are that the cause is the same so once we are certain that is taken care of then we can see if the other issues are solved as a result.

                              @AndyS The latest status quo for me is, that I get notifications for upvotes and chat messages, but not at all when I'm mentioned.

                              So I may already missed some topics because after 3 or 4 other answers you likely miss the message that was directed to you.

                              Regards

                              Qt has to stay free or it will die.

                                Have you tried resetting the options in your profile? If I recall correctly I had that problem, but after deselecting, saving and reselecting and saving the notification preferences it sorted itself out. Worth a try ...

                                  @kshegunov good hint. It seems that setting got disabled somehow. I swear it was working before - let's see :)

                                  Qt has to stay free or it will die.

                                      I stopped receiving email notifications 2 days ago. I still receive (some? all?) web notifications.

                                        Did you try to disable and re-enable them ?

                                          @SGaist said in Known issues with Qt Forum:

                                          Did you try to disable and re-enable them ?

                                          I did ("None" -> "Save Changes" -> "Notification & Email" -> "Save Changes"), but I still didn't get an email for a thread that got a reply after that (https://forum.qt.io/topic/107356/ ).

                                          I'll try to subscribe to a new thread and see what happens.
