Users th21 and Ed_S reported not receiving notifications for recent release notes despite watching the #announcements category. sam acknowledged the issue and confirmed the team would investigate. david later explained that the problem stemmed from the “disable category edit notifications” setting being mistakenly enabled on Meta, which suppressed notifications for published shared drafts. The setting has now been corrected, and future release notes should trigger proper notifications. Additionally, the team plans to update the setting description to clarify its impact. JammyDodger responded with a humorous GIF, likely expressing relief or approval.
I would like to get notified on release notes so set to watch the 1st topic under the announcements category
It worked fine before but I didn’t get notifications from most 2 recent release notes. No emails and they didn’t show in my user panel either.
Is it expected?
Same for me.
Thanks for the report, we will investigate this week
Thanks for raising this @th21 and @Ed_S. Looks like we had accidentally left the disable category edit notifications setting enabled here on Meta, which meant that publishing shared drafts didn’t trigger notifications for people watching #announcements.
We’ve updated the config now, so the next batch of release notes should create the correct notifications. We’re also going to update the setting description to make it super clear that these settings affect publishing of shared drafts.
