FYI apptest , the other day this issue was fixed but today the Delete all button will not delete anything, I had to delete each one individually. I'm on the same browser as before.

TBH I haven't changed anything with notifications for a few weeks so it makes me wonder if your cache is still holding onto an older version. what I did is try to reset the cache on my side, can you try now and see if anything works?

I didn't work so I deleted all cookies, signed back in and refreshed the browser and it still did not work. I then shut down Safari and brought it back up and then it worked.  If it happens again, I have another idea I’ll try but suffice it to say the issue is not on your end :-)

Ok that means it is a cache issue, but things are much simpler. When you are on the notifications page, just hold SHIFT then click the reload icon (in the top center address bar on the right side). You have to keep shift held down while you press the reload icon. That will refresh every file. From there, the new files should be saved to your browser.

As parts of the site become complete, this issue will hopefully become less as there wont be updates. I am sending the updates to the browsers but safari loves to break the rules to make loads faster. Overall its a good strategy but it can bite us here and there when I’m doing rapid updates

Anyone else notice issues with the rep system?

Past couple day(?) I've logged on to notifications for rep/post appreciations and the rep counter hasn't increased

Last I saw, both the old and new system rep counts likely will be incorrect. Once the site is moved to the new version the rep counts will be recalculated.

Thanks, didn't know we were moving onto a new version.

Are the public profile pages no longer available? Can't seem to access them via the iOS app nor via a web browser.

As an Android user, I use the mobile web version with Chrome. I appreciate the fact that the mobile site now supports the "appreciate" button, but it's very hard for me to tell if the appreciates are from me or some somebody else. I think there's a nearly imperceptible difference between the look of buttons for these two cases. This often leads me to un-appreciate and then re-appreciate.




I'd appreciate it if my apprentices were easier to spot.

When I open a thread that I am viewing in one of "My Forums" I have to go back to the main forum page before being able to click on the "My Forums" tab on the top of the page.
It would be great if you could also show the "My Forums" tab on the top the page of the individual threads that we are viewing so we can skip that extra step if we want to switch to another one of our favorite forums. 🙏

So since this new interface has been rolled out, the menu bar at the top says I have 1 new unread notification. But when I select that, it takes me to my notifications page which is completely empty. Any way to reset this?

I have this issue as well. In the old forum, sometimes you get a notification for a post in another forum (like you're in iX and you have a post in e9x for example) and it'll show empty when you click it. This time I went through all the forums I used/posted in before and they all turn up empty. Wonder why?

Update: Since getting additional notifications this has cleared itself.

It's already fixed!

Edit: it's not fixed. It's just inconsistent. It seems to work well in a quote, but not a direct post.

It's definitely broken but not a priority. Trying to make it one.

Good morning.

I was unable to sign back into my account. When doing a password reset, it had said that there was "No User Specified" and to contact an admin. I sent admins a note on two separate occasions. I created this new account/handle in order to get back in to at least get this far. Anyone available to assist?

Do you mind sharing the link with me for the password reset you got? (in PM!) or if you lost that email generate a new one and share it with me in PM. I can probably get you back up and running on your old account

It's a MIRACLE!!!!!

Alright, sent the PM. Thanks for looking into it.

On the BMWi forum persona, the buttons on top of the Notifications page both have transparent backgrounds in dark mode. Depending on what random image is rotated into the header when viewing the Notifications page, those buttons are more or less invisible:



Don't know if this also impacts light mode or any other forum persona.....

A better example of the transparent button backgrounds making them difficult to spot:
