Notifications arriving late

Options
Good afternoon,

Apologies if it's been mentioned elsewhere already but has anyone else found notifications on the forum are now arriving about 15-30 mins late?

Over the past couple of weeks I've noticed when on the forum a notification will pop up telling me there's a new comment on a thread I've bookmarked. When I click on it it takes me to a post that was posted about 15-30 mins earlier and in many cases is a post I've already read in the last few minutes, with no new posts appearing on the thread.

I appreciate it's probably not a major issue but it is starting to get slightly irritating clicking on "new" notifications only to find it's for something I've only just read.

  • Yes same for me, possibly related to the Cloudflare/Vanilla issue.

    Possibly, though I've been having having the vanilla issue on and off for many months now, it might even have been as long as I've been on the forum. The notifications delay seems to have been a more recent issue.

    I came here to start a new thread about the same thing; saw this thread and decided a reply was more relevant.

    I posted a comment on the thread below - I am now getting notifications about thread replies that were already there when I posted!

    I've noticed the same today. Whenever I comment on a new thread I then get spammed with the last 4 or 5 messages which were posted before I commented. 

    Obvioustly these are useless to me as I just read them before I commented!
    • The rich buy assets.
    • The poor only have expenses.
    • The middle class buy liabilities they think are assets.

    The search function also seems to be running a bit behind:
    Take a recent post in The Top Easy Access Savings Discussion Area thread

    If I try searching for it it doesn't seem to appear.

    Yet the post in this thread by @vacheron, which I have now received a notification for comes up straight away:

  • Notifications now appear to be back to normal for me again.

    Notifications are all over the place for me that I no longer take much interest in them. 

    Mark all as read, refresh the page and still there 

    Just get on with it
