    Glad it's not just me! I have switched my notifications off and then on again and that didn't seem to help.

    ...I'm not getting emailed notifications for posts on bookmarked threads either...

    No notifications or emails for me too and if I go to all notifications the last notification I received was on 13th July. This makes it hard trying to keep up with competitions I have bookmarked as I have them set to also receive an email. It also means I could miss if someone has commented on a comp that I have posted. Bookmarked threads are also showing incorrect number of bookmarks.

    I posted the question here and am informed that "they are aware of it and apparently working on it."

    Hello @MSE_James is there any progress on this because I am still only getting notifications for any thread I posted on before the latest update.

    And apparently have 455 new notifications on one thread. 
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    I'm only getting forum notifications (as in a number against the bell icon) for threads I've started ... i.e. this one. This is the only notification I've had since 20-Jul (which was when this thread was previously posted on). I have had NO notifications for any other thread I've contributed to since 13-Jul.

    It is worth checking "Home › Profile › Notification Preferences", where you can, for each type of content you want, set notifications (a) in the "bell" and (b) by e-mail - even though the latter doesn't work at the moment, and hasn't done since a few days after the new-style forum was introduced. But if you make sure you are specifying what notifications you want to see, you should be able to see them in the "bell".

    I have ticked both boxes beside each of the following:

    • New comments on my posts
    • New comments on my bookmarked posts
    • New comments on posts you participated in
    • Rank changes
    • New comments on my profile
    • New badges
    • Private messages
    • Notify me of new posts
    • Notify me of new comments

    All the relevant ones are ticked for the bell. Just not working. 
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
