Discourse showing users notifications of all users

[rschanzenbacher (Ryan Schanzenbacher)]

Hello all! I have a question brought up by one of my users. They just signed up, and appeared to have many notifications, however trying to go to most of them gave them a 404 error. This is to be expected, since 99% of the notifications they see aren’t meant for them.
Here’s a screenshot of a test user I have on the site (level 1 user, never been suspended nor a moderator):

Any ideas what could be causing this? Probably a misconfiguration on my end. I thought it was maybe because the reverse proxy wasn’t sending individuals IPs correctly, but I’ve checked and no users have a registration nor last login IP of anything that would be local to my network, so that’s working as expected. Also, dismissing notifications doesn’t work, even though a HTTP 200 is returned when clicked. Any ideas are appreciated!

Can you share your list of plugins?

[rschanzenbacher (Ryan Schanzenbacher)]

Sure thing:

The only two I still have enabled is my SSO (we use a mix of native and SSO signins, this issue is present on accounts linked to our SSO or not) and the docker manager I cannot disable. The rest are present, but have been disabled in an attempt to rule them out.

Babble is not maintained anymore. I would uninstall it completely (ie remove the clone from app.yml and rebuild)

[rschanzenbacher (Ryan Schanzenbacher)]

Yeah, that did it. Thank you! I figured that it being disabled would have fully removed everything, but apparently not. TIL. I think my next step will be to try and get the rocketchat integration plugin running, as our use case it a bit peculiar (we’re going to be hosting a video player on a post that contains a live stream, and we’d like a chat to be present on the side. We use post replies for “comments” after the stream is finished.)

Thanks again

Discourse Team’s chat solution is currently in Alpha, I’m sure if you ask @erlend_sh very nicely he could add you to the feedback group

[rschanzenbacher (Ryan Schanzenbacher)]

Ohh, this looks very interesting, thanks for this. I found it on @erlend_sh’s profile, and will add it to my instance shortly. I’ll do some testing with it before we have our event, but hopefully I’ll have some feedback in about a month and a half or so, assuming everything goes as planned and we get an actual turnout with a “decent” amount of people xD (Decent for us is around maybe 20-30, so not big by any means, but I’ll give any feedback I can).
