Phantom notifications **Solved**

Been plagued with phantom notifications for the past week or so. My avatar top right shows 1 or 2 new events

and if I open them it shows, e.g.,

Of course, if I click on them nothing new has happened. . . :confused:

Is it possible that a message in the thread has been edited/changed? Wim has been making a number of changes, e.g. editing old messages/splitting threads prior to Nov 1st so perhaps you’re being notified of those changes?

I don’t think it’s that. For example, here is how I was notified on site of your reply:

I got an e-mail for your reply, but not for the phantom.

There are only three members and two topics involved: the two topics about Meteoalarm shown in my first post, and members @pwsdashboard, @ktrue and @Cavaliere89. I am “following” two of these, but not the third.

It’s almost as if I’m getting a notification every time the thread is read.

Idem me concernant.

On reflection I think I got one from @hcorrin too; so that means I got them from all the contributors to the “area codes” topic and all the recent contributors to the “translation” topic.

I’m investigating a clue. I need to do a forum rebuild…back in 10 minutes.

Rebuild complete. Hopefully the weird notifications won’t happen now.

Reckon 24 hours without a phantom deserves a Solution, but I can’t find one :confused:

What was the problem, or is it too complicated to explain?

It looks like it was associated with a plugin I was experimenting with, or at least it stopped happening when I removed the plugin. I don’t think the extra functionality would have been very useful to us so it’s not a great loss.
