Arthur Vasconcelos Mar 14:
All recent entries have been received... including from both new and old interfaces :)

Also, it seems I've been receiving all Kudoz questions as well!
Lucia Leszinsky Mar 14:
Thanks for confirming, Maria Teresa And thanks for updating your report on the issue with the site's language. I'm in conversation with the development team to check the status of that issue. Hopefully I have some news soon. Thanks for your patience.
Maria Teresa Borges de Almeida Mar 14:
. I have been receiving notifications but my default language keeps changing. Today it was Azerbaijani…

Discussion entry posted from the old interface Sorry for messing around with this again, just confirming one of the latest fixes here.

expressisverbis Mar 8:
Lucía It seems I have been receiving Kudoz notifications (discussions, including this one, and peer agreements). Fingers crossed!
Arthur Vasconcelos Mar 8:
Update So after my last entry here (2 days ago), we got 6 new entries, but I was only notified about:

- Lucia's "Friday test: old interface" entry
- Maria's latest entry (about her language suddenly changing to Dutch).

I didn't receive notifications for any of the other entries.

And I too received yesterday, at once, all "pending" Kudoz questions that I hadn't been timely notified about in the last couple of days.

Edit: I use (and have always used) the old interface
Lucia Leszinsky Mar 8:
Thanks Maria Teresa! I (Laura Finch) also received the one posted from the old interface only. Answers are working correctly though (an alert is sent for new answers regardless of the interface used).

I will also get the language issue checked. You are not the only one who reports such a change. Can you tell me if you clicked on some email link that took you to the site in Dutch?
Maria Teresa Borges de Almeida Mar 8:
@Lucia Friday test received through the old interface (the only one I use), but curiously enough my default language changed suddenly to Dutch...
Lucia Leszinsky Mar 8:
Friday test: old interface Discussion entry posted through the old interface.
Lucia Leszinsky Mar 8:
Friday test: new interface Discussion entry posted through the new interface.
Lucia Leszinsky Mar 7:
That's right. Emails are catching up, however... ...I'm still running further tests to confirm that all alert types are being sent and delivered. I was able to confirm that the following KudoZ alerts work:

- Alert for a new KudoZ question
- Alert for a discussion entry in a discussion I'm tracking
- Alert for an answer in a KudoZ I posted
- Alert for a peer grade in an answer I posted

(and some of the forum alerts too)

If you realize a notification you should have received was not sent to you, I'd appreciate you letting me know here or via email if you want, [email protected]. In the meantime, I'll continue running some tests, so I apologize in advance if you get alerts for dummy KudoZ posts.
Yuri Toledo Mar 7:
The emails seem to be catching up now @Lucia You may be interested to know that I got all (or most) of the missing emails over the last 30 minutes. I think my emails are up to date now.
Arthur Vasconcelos Mar 6:
@Lucia, I received your "old interface" entry, but not the "new" one.

Also, please note the following:

1) All my settings are/have always been adjusted as per your instructions;

2) I should have received notifications for all entries made after expressisverbis' first entry (made yesterday, Mar. 5), but that's not what happened. After this specific entry, I was only notified about 1) your "old interface" entry; 2) Nick's "cognitive pathways" entry; and 3) the latest expressisverbis' entry made a about an hour ago -- meaning I wasn't notified about any of the (many) other entries made by you, Matheus and Yuri.
3) I've also checked and can confirm that no notification emails ended up in my spam folder.

That's all for now :)
Yuri Toledo Mar 6:
@Lucia I see. But I can confirm that I got no emails on these two KudoZ entries, not even in the spam folder. However, I am getting emails about entries to this discussion, as well as agrees to my recent proposals.
expressisverbis Mar 6:
Hi Lucía! Thank you.
Today I received notifications from colleagues on one of the latest Kudoz questions and even on this discussion.
Has the problem of not receiving notifications of "agrees" and posts in discussions finally been solved? I hope so!
Nick Taylor Mar 6:
@Lucia Thank you so much Lucia! It was driving me mad! I was working soley on cognitive pathways! :-)
Lucia Leszinsky Mar 6:
Thanks Yuri! The mail monitor shows that email alerts were sent to your email address for both questions:



https://archive.proz.com/?sp=mail_monitor

Can you checked the spam folder just in case?
Yuri Toledo Mar 6:
@Lucia Hi! Per your request, here are the two KudoZ entries I should've gotten emails for:
https://www.proz.com/kudoz/7176572
https://www.proz.com/kudoz/7176559
It's worth noting that the settings on my dashboard are just like you described here, in the discussion section.
Lucia Leszinsky Mar 6:
Good catch, @expressisverbis and @matheus! Asking developers to check how interface versions are affecting alerts then...
Lucia Leszinsky Mar 6:
A few basic settings to check... ...to make sure you should be receiving alerts that you are not receiving:

To receive an alert of a new KudoZ question:

https://www.proz.com/dashboard/kudoz/

- KudoZ notifications --> I want to receive KudoZ notifications
- Notifications about new KudoZ questions --> I want to be notified of new KudoZ questions
- Language pair-specific notification preferences --> Immediate alerts

To receive an alert for a discussion entry:

- Updates to KudoZ questions I contributed to --> I want to be notified of updates to questions I have contributed to
- Updates to KudoZ questions I have asked --> I want to be notified of updates to questions I have asked
Matheus Chaud Mar 6:
Update Old interface entry: well received
New interface entry: not received
Lucia Leszinsky Mar 6:
Discussion entry posted via the new interface Please let me know if you get a notification for this one (new interface one).
Lucia Leszinsky Mar 6:

expressisverbis Mar 5:
Lucía In this discussion board, I only received the notification from Mr Nick Taylor one hour later, the others I still didn't receive, except the one from Matheus that he sent from the old interface...
And this is the first time I've received a notification on a discussion board in a long time!
Lucia Leszinsky Mar 5:
Thanks again, Matheus! That actually helps a lot because I was also getting some, but not others, and your confirmation helped us to spot a specific bug related to that. Fawad, one of our devs, found it and he is now working on it. Fingers crossed!
Lucia Leszinsky Mar 5:
I changed it for you, Nick Next time you can change the site's language from the site's footer (right corner). Hope it helps!
Matheus Chaud Mar 5:
@Lucia You're welcome, Lucia!
For the record, I've received a notification for Nick's comment, but not for yours.
Nick Taylor Mar 5:
I received it But my page is somehow in chinese..SERIOUSLY!How do I change back to English?
Regards
NT
Lucia Leszinsky Mar 5:
Thanks right, Matheus! I (Laura Finch) just received an alert for one of your discussion entries, but not for the other two. I just told our dev to take a look. Hope you get an email alert for this one as I'd like to thank you for helping me to test =)!
Matheus Chaud Mar 5:
Discussion entry 3 Sent from the old KudoZ interface
Matheus Chaud Mar 5:
Discussion entry 2 Sent from the new KudoZ interface
Matheus Chaud Mar 5:
Discussion It has also been common not to receive notifications when someone posts a discussion entry, so I kindly ask the staff to investigate that as well.
Laura Finch (asker) Mar 5:
Hi everyone! Let me know if you get an email alert for this discussion entry.

Stopped receiving alerts 4 hours ago

I was getting email alerts about new KudoZ entries just fine, ever since I registered and set the alerts. However, there were two new entries in the English-Portuguese board in the last couple of hours, and still no sign of the email alerts for these.

agree Lucia Leszinsky : Can you contact me, Yuri, and share with me the links to the questions for which you were not notified? This will help me to look into this further. Post them to the discussion section or email me directly at [email protected]. Thanks!

Done, thank you!
agree Arthur Vasconcelos : @Lucia, I've just noticed that, like Yuri, I also haven't received any notifications for many of the Kudoz terms posted yesterday (starting at the "long and short positions" question). That's strange, as I had been regularly receiving these notifications.

That's right! "stored value" (ENG->POR) was the last entry I got an email for.

Oh, I see! I chose to be notified of questions in my specialty, working and interest fields. I didn't think of "Other" as a field. Anyway, I've changed my settings to be notified for "All fields". Let's see if it works now. Thanks, Lucia!
