Not receiving notifications on some posts

Post #1

Post by Tcg »

I'm not receiving notifications on some posts. This seems to be limited to replies that don't include a quotation. I'm not sure if others are seeing this or if it is related to something specific about my account settings or setup in general.

For example, the post I have copied below was a response to one I made earlier in the thread Belief in The Resurrection - Faith, or Fact Based:

What would you accept as evidence that a God existed?
I have highlighted the post number in red. My post that Zerilos was replying to was actually #272.

It seems that we now get [Replying to Name in post #2] regardless of the actual post # otseng. Sorry.

Can you provide a link to where this is happening and I'll then investigate it.

Funny thing is that it worked correctly here.
Give me a minute to find the thread,

Eloi was replying to post #7

In the next post it said [Replying to Tcg in post #3] when it should have been #8.

Then, on the next page we get:

Possibly something Eloi is doing?
