Thanks a lot CM2010! Thanks to your report I was able to squash another bug in the system. (Your subscription to this particular thread was an edge case that I’ve never been able to test before on my own.)
Now, everyone who has had problems with not receiving the notification e-mails, please subscribe to some threads and monitor the activity of the threads and the notification e-mails you receive. I think it should work a lot better now.
Identified and fixed an important bug that was preventing some users from receiving notification e-mails in threads with more than 10 subscribers
Identified and fixed a bug where multiple comments in a thread would result in multiple notifications being sent out if the first post was featured on the frontpage
Same thing for you too Rufus, your subscription to the above thread was also an edge case that I’ve never tested before. Should work now. Please let me know.
Hi there how2, the checkboxes under “Subscriptions” in your account settings for disabling notifications needed to be checked, so I did it for you. You shouldn’t receive any more notifications now. Please don’t mark them as Spam, that will only cause problems for all our users. If you mark a mail as Spam, that could the e-mail service to mark all messages from BLF as Spam and cause problems for all of our users who do want to receive notifications. Thanks in advance.
Identified and fixed another bug. The system was mistakenly sending a notification for every comment in a poll thread, instead of checking to see if the user already received a notification.
That has been normal behavior of the notifications. You'll get a correct link to the correct post only if it falls on the first page of the thread. A notification for a post on another page simply does as you found out - only directs to the original post. (Can't remember how the "posts per page" affects this.)
I really appreciate you offering to take a look. But basically a lot of people have tried, and failed to come up with a good solution. https://drupal.org/node/26966
The good news is that it is supposedly fixed in Drupal 7. I just need to find a LOT of time to upgrade BLF to Drupal 7 and test and fix the inevitable issues that arise with the new platform.
