A user reports that notifications stopped working. I’m not sure how to troubleshoot this.

Hi there, has the user tried logging out then in again? Or clearing his cache? Perhaps that could help.

Maybe ask them to check [https://www.foodtalkcentral.com/my/notifications/responses](https://www.foodtalkcentral.com/my/notifications/responses)? are the notifications they were expecting to get listed there?
Safe to assume that your account and others aren’t having the problem? If they right click and visit the inspector in their browser, do they see any errors on the console tab?
It also appears that you haven’t updated Discourse in 6+ months, so getting up-to-date could eliminate some old bugs.

Seems like updates are broken.

Can you provide a little more info? are you getting a specific error message?

If you are updating via the UI, perhaps you should try doing so via the comamnd-line:
```plaintext
cd /var/discourse
./launcher rebuild app
```
That tends to be more consistent than the Admin UI at times.
