It actually just happened with your #453 and #455 @Greg Bernhardt - the alert flashed up then vanished as it auto-downloaded.
Okay.Greg Bernhardt said:Someone write a reply here so I can monitor and see if I can get that to happen
I have them turned off - I get enough taskbar notifications! I have the habit of rechecking my "watched" forums most days, which let's me clean up anything I missed.Greg Bernhardt said:I will investigate this. In the meantime, are you guys using push notifications?
So this is confirmed. I don't get a visual alert marker, but I see the content generate, I get the push notification and I see the read alert in the drop down.PeroK said:Okay.
Occasionally you do get the alert marker, but only for a second. That's what I saw just now, and I'm on 3G in an area where I suspect the network is heavily used. So I guess the auto-download counts as "read" for the purposes of the alert marker.Greg Bernhardt said:So this is confirmed. I don't get a visual alert marker, but I see the content generate, I get the push notification and I see the read alert in the drop down.
I can reproduce too (??)( Last I checked).Greg Bernhardt said:Thanks for all the feedback! I understand the issue and can reproduce, so that helps!
Yes. I didn't test whether "open" in your statement has to be replaced by "focused", but I don't think so.Greg Bernhardt said:So if you have a tab open to a thread, if that thread receives a new reply, you don't get an alert?
They ALL appear orange in color (their outlines) as I view them. Orange foreground and white background.WWGD said:This is really not an issue/error but did not know where else to ask: What is it with the light bulb icons next to the questions. Some have an orange-like tone where a few have a greyish-looking color? What's the difference in the choice of coloring? As of the time of this post, Stem Education and Teaching and Topology and Analysis are the only two forums with the lighter color. All others have an orange hue. Is it to signify that posters on those sites are out of ideas or something : the lightbulb went of ;)? If not, what is it?

This makes me think the lazy image loading process is getting stuck.fresh_42 said:I observed similar effects, if the browser doesn't have enough resources to load the pictures properly. They are usually changed last, and this process can be disturbed.
But other threads are loading fine. Even the photo contest voting threads.Greg Bernhardt said:This makes me think the lazy image loading process is getting stuck.
These are two distinct software platforms connected by a bridge. Do you have image loading issues elsewhere in Insights blog?Wrichik Basu said:But other threads are loading fine. Even the photo contest voting threads.
Nope, just checked it. Profile photos of authors, thumbnails of individual insight articles, images in the articles - all are loading fine. Except the Trending Articles thumbnails.Greg Bernhardt said:These are two distinct software platforms connected by a bridge. Do you have image loading issues elsewhere in Insights blog?
Can you try in another browser?Wrichik Basu said:Nope, just checked it. Profile photos of authors, thumbnails of individual insight articles, images in the articles - all are loading fine. Except the Trending Articles thumbnails.
Can also be a bandwidth problem. The browser sometimes stops download whilst the images aren't done yet.Greg Bernhardt said:Can you try in another browser?
Issues on both these pages?Wrichik Basu said:Except the Trending Articles thumbnails.
Interesting, tried from Opera, problem is solved. Seems to be a browser-specific issue.Greg Bernhardt said:Can you try in another browser?
Only the first of the two links.Greg Bernhardt said:Issues on both these pages?

That same problem! Even upgrading to PF5 didn't solve it! And mysteriously you are the only person receiving these alerts. Paging @Greg Bernhardt...DaveC426913 said:This must must one seriously important article! I just got 38 (thirty-eight) alerts in a row about it! (And I'm not even subscribed to alerts from any media postings.)
@Wrichik Basu added the media item Operating Systems (NPTEL):- Lecture 26: Transcations and lock-free primitives read/write locks - Today, 4:17 AM
I wonder if my handle is hard-coded into some .cfg file somewhere on PF's servers...Wrichik Basu said:That same problem! Even upgrading to PF5 didn't solve it! And mysteriously you are the only person receiving these alerts. Paging @Greg Bernhardt...
No. At least, not yet.Wrichik Basu said:@DaveC426913 Did you receive alerts for the 51 videos that I uploaded after the ones you mentioned?
Problem seems to be exactly same as before. You are getting alerts for only some of the media categories, particularly the ones under Other Science.DaveC426913 said:No. At least, not yet.
Yeah this is a known issue. Not sure on solution at the moment.PeroK said:I'm not sure you can actually see it happening, but when you post the reply, the Latex gets zapped.
I'm not 100% certain, but I think it only happens to text included by # #, not by [itex]. Unfortunately - at least on my German keyboard - the sharps doesn't take any time, whereas [itex] needs a lot. Anyway, if true, it should by an important hint for the programmers.Greg Bernhardt said:Yeah this is a known issue. Not sure on solution at the moment.
