Hello, I am using 3.2.0.beta4-dev version (self-hosted) and at this commit. After the updates users have started experiencing double/triple notifications on the UI. (I am talking about Discourse UI not e-mail etc.) [image] Even after you click and read, the notifications sometimes come back. I am having those issues as well. I don’t know how to troubleshoot this or provide helpful log. I wanted to share this maybe if this is a global issue or on my instance?

Thank you for getting to the bottom of this! It was indeed a problem in my private topics plugin that only happened when the follow plugin is enabled as well. I have pushed a fix. Sorry for the traumatizing experience :wink:

[image] Yusuf: (I am talking about Discord UI not e-mail etc.) I’m assuming you mean ‘Discourse UI’?

Okay but this server has been active for almost 2 months, this issue didnt appear before. Right now on my server we have 4 Gigs of Ram and half of it is empty. 2 Gigs of swap is empty as well. I am thinking maybe the update did it but maybe the extensions did it. I am not sure. I guess next step I am going to take will be disabling all the extensions and see if it helps. [image] JammyDodger: I’m assuming you mean ‘Discourse UI’? Yes I have included a picture in my first post. I mean Discourse UI notifications.

I have disabled bunch of extensions and still the problem persists. Any thoughts or is it possible I can downgrade to the 3.2.0.beta3-dev version? Thanks.

Hello again, I know nobody has to help and this is a community forum and of course I am not a paying customer but this bug is getting really frustrating both for me and users. We have created a community 2 months ago thanks to Discourse where we have 458 active monthly users. But ever since this bug happened to us (20 days ago) I tried everything I can. It’s quite bad for user experience and now I am trying to find scripts to migrate to Flarum or some other forum platform. Just look at this: [output] Users get the same notification again and again and again. They get the notifications from 20 days ago, 5 days ago or whenever really. Even when you dismiss all notifications you’ll get same notification again after a couple of hours and there is no way of fixing this! Again I know where I stand, this is a community platform. I don’t have a right to complain but if nobody will help after this post even if it means all of our previous posts and topics will be deleted (1.2 thousand topics and 12.7 posts) we’ll have to go elsewhere… Just as a note I was an advocate of Discourse. I have created videos about it on my YouTube channel. Turkish communities usually use outdated forums and I had great experience using Discourse before so after opening my own forum I wanted people to know this software. Anyways I really don’t want to lose all other people’s solutions and work on our current forum. So I kindly ask for your help again. Thank you.

Just out of curiosity, can you find anything in common between the posts that have repeating notifications?

From what I understand it is different for each user. But they repeat. On my account I get the same notifications again and again. Although this doesn’t happen on posts before 21 days ago which we did an update 3.2.0beta4 and also I have added extensions to our forum. Initially I thought extensions triggered this so I have disabled all extensions but it didn’t solve the problem. On a side note maybe I should delete them and rebuild completely? I don’t know. Then I thought it was because of the beta4. Then I downgraded to beta3 where we didn’t had the problem but it still persisted.

Unfortunately, we haven’t had any other reports of this so it’s difficult to pinpoint what’s happening on your site. Do you have a standard install? Is there anything in your /logs or /sidekiq page that may provide more information? [image] Yusuf: Initially I thought extensions triggered this so I have disabled all extensions but it didn’t solve the problem. On a side note maybe I should delete them and rebuild completely? I don’t know. Yes. Disabling may not completely remove the problem piece. But which plugins did you recently install? We may be able to tell if one has had problems reported.

Yes I understand it is hard to pinpoint. That’s why I hoped it would go away after a while but it didn’t. I think I am having the same problem as this: Users getting notifictations from long ago [image] JammyDodger: Do you have a standard install? Yes I have a standart install but only difference is I am behind Cloudflare. You might think this is because of Cloudflare but before we didn’t had such issue. I don’t think it’s likely. [image] JammyDodger: Is there anything in your /logs or /sidekiq page that may provide more information? I couldn’t find anything related to notifications but I am not an expert on this so let me share a quick bit of it maybe your eyes will catch something Warnings: MaxMindDB (/var/www/discourse/vendor/data/GeoLite2-ASN.mmdb) could not be found: No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - /var/www/discourse/vendor/data/GeoLite2-ASN.mmdb Deprecation notice: `SiteSetting.anonymous_posting_min_trust_level` has been deprecated.

I suspect that’s a ram issue, how much RAM does your discourse instance have?
