Re: Notifcations/Messages not working

Probably just a small glitch. Should be fixed once the Scratch Team finds out.

Re: Notifcations/Messages not working

With me it is saying I have more messages than I really have then minues later they put those messages up I guess it is just being slow for me.

Re: Notifcations/Messages not working

This is weird. It doesn't happen for me, but I noticed that it says "messages updated every 10 minutes" at the top. Does that have anything to do with it?

I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

The same thing happens with me. But it works fine when I use my brother's account.

Re: Notifcations/Messages not working

whenever I reply to someone's comment, I get a message saying that someone has responded to my comment on that project, even though nobody commented. And now, it says "comments updated every 10 minutes", but since that has never happened before, I'm wondering why it says it now....

Re: Notifcations/Messages not working

I know that never came up before now it says I have messages but it takes ten minutes for me to see those messages it is annoying that I can't see my messages as soon as I get them like I could before

The failed message still appears and the number of messages only shows half the time.

Re: Notifcations/Messages not working

Omg that happens, too, the 10 minute thing and having it appear at random times! They are both so annoying! I prefer the old ways (aka the 2 days ago ways) better!

Re: Notifcations/Messages not working

Are you unable to see your messages all the time or only the first time you noticed this?

The reason why we did this is because the notification system is overloading our server and we storing a 10 minute snapshot helps lower the load.

Re: Notifcations/Messages not working

I'm noticing more problems. I logged in about an hour ago and saw that I had 4 messages. Then I read and deleted them all, but a few minutes later (less than ten minutes) they all came back! I tried deleting them again, and they stayed gone, and I logged out. I logged in about a minute ago and I had no messages. Then I went to the forums. But when I went back to the main page, it said I have 4 messages again! I haven't looked at them yet, but I'm pretty sure they're the same ones I tried to delete earlier, since it's pretty unlikely I got 4 new messages that quickly and that they're the same number I tried to delete earlier. (I don't get many messages, anyway.) I'll check now to see if they're any different, but this is still pretty messed up.

Edit: I was wrong, they're different messages, but that was a weird coincidence. I can only see the message bar (whatever it's called) from the main page, though!

Well, I was having that problem, and it wasn't a coincidence!  And, the funny thing was, it only showed two messages when there were three!

I haven't seen my messages since the changes. All that comes up is
"Failed to save data at the server"

Same. The notifications bar on the home page, etc. only shows half the time, as well. I click on the home button at the top, it disappears. I click again, it shows.
