Am I the only one not receiving notifications?

It's just started happening the last few days, but I'm not getting notifications for all the topics I've commented on. I seem to only get a limited number, and when I click on the "unsolved" folder, I see several more topics I'm following with unread replies that don't appear on my notifications page.

I noticed it too. I was wondering if it had anything to do with spam. It appears that I no longer get notifications in the topics I've flagged for spam. There may be absolutely no correlation at all. It just seemed to start happening when I started flagging. and there has been boatloads of spam lately.
Glad it's not just me! It's still happening, unfortunately. Not sure if it's related to flagging for spam. I've reported spam for ages, and this problem has only surfaced within the past week.
Notifications have always been extremely unreliable for me, but they're worse than usual lately. Running many many hours behind the comments that generate them.To the point that I'm now getting notifications for the first comment in new threads where I subscribed after it was posted (with no other activity since) and then five or more hours later I get a notification of that first post that was made before I subscribed to the thread.
I'm also getting some notifications twice for the same comment. Once when it posts, and one 18 hrs later, but the notification implies it's a new comment "Amelia commented 2 minutes ago" but really it was 18 hrs ago.
Same here! It's happening both to my GR notifications and my email notifications.It's actually really annoying! I've never had this problem before.
It looks like they're running exactly 20 hours behind. I just got a notification now for Aerulan's comment.
It's been a week now! This is getting aggravating. I thought the delay was getting better, but I just got a notification for something posted 8 hours ago.

when it comes on you get ones from the on time but the ones from the off time never show up.
(Well, i hope that's not too confusing .)

Still wonky.

I haven’t received any for group discussions since last Wednesday afternoon, but receive notifications for people liking book updates. Weird much?? Wish they’d get this straightened out already!
They’ve started filtering in again over the past hour, starting with notifications from the 11th. So...how long do we think it will last this time? 😐
I think notifications are down again. I looked around a bit and see some that i wasn't notified about.
12 hours none.
Anyone else not getting notifications? I haven't had any since the middle of december.
Who does one turn to about this issue?

I'm getting them at the moment. But I had a stretch of about four months where I didn't get any notifications. I looked around at the time and it seemed to be a just me problem. I didn't want to deal with GRs shitty help system (I've had notification problems before and they always just blow me off and claim it's not happening) so I just waited and eventually they came back. Which isn't very helpful I know.
I hope you can find a better/faster solution.
I would start by checking spam/junk folders to make sure notifications aren’t being flagged by your email service. I have also occasionally accidentally hit the “spam” button when I meant to hit “delete,” which is a major PITA if I don’t realize I’ve hit it and suddenly stop receiving notices. WHY do they put them so close together???The one thing I’ve been missing the last few months is the daily update on what friends are reading. I found it easier to scroll than checking my homepage, which I do not look at daily.
I am only getting some of my notifications, I get like 2 out of the 20 notifications I should be getting each day.
So what else is new?Frankly, it's more of a notable event when Goodreads notifications are working properly.
This hasn't been my experience . I find Goodreads excellent and have never had a notification problem .
I'm thinking the notifications, or lack of them, has something to do with which area of goodreads that they originate. I noticed that i never get notifications of comments on a friend's review. If i comment i am sure to check the correct notifications boxes but i never get them.
I do get notifications from group discussions.
