Problem with community notifications?

[Bill Sheboy]

Greetings, community!

Has anyone noticed that the community notifications (i.e., under the bell icon at the top-right of page) seem incorrect today?

Specifically, when an article (or question) has a new post, the notification shows the date/time of the original article and links to the top, rather than to the latest post.

Thanks!

A bug has been generated for this.

Hi @Jack Brickey 

Have you seen any forward-motion on that defect?

Thanks, sir!

Greetings, community!

In hindsight, I should not have marked this as answered as it is still "broken".  This issue makes it quite difficult to determine what content needs follow-up.

To any community leaders or Atlassian peoples seeing this: who knows if this change is intentional, broken, something else?

Thanks for your thoughts!

[Jack Brickey]

They are aware of the issue and TBH I would have expected it to be resolved by now. I will ping them again.

Hi, we have a bug for this internally.  I don't believe this change was intentional, but it appears to be grabbing the original post date/author when it should be grabbing the user/date that posted an update to a watched thread.  I can see this issue has been planned for a future sprint at least, but I don't have a clear timetable on when it might be fixed. 

I'll try to keep an eye on it and let you know when a fix is planned to ship for this.

This appears to be fixed.  Thanks, Atlassian team!

Now if we could improve the feed so all the updates show the actual date/time of the event, rather than some showing "yesterday", etc.  :^)

Yes!!! For example, these two notifications came up today right in the middle of several other notifications from today and yesterday. 

 

[Jack Brickey]

@Bill Sheboy , no and it is frustrating. Let me check with the Atlassian team.

[Jack Brickey]

Yay! There seems to be some new features add as well but could be mistaken. I don’t recall seeing my replies listed in the activity feed. Oddly these notifications appear out of sequence with the notification from the other party. 

More observations and analysis is needed here.
