Not getting alerts in from thread I posted in.

I think it has been going on a while now.
Post in a thread, I never get any notifications of new replies. Got replies from one thread that is old I think.
Also my private messages are not being sent. I sent 2 today. Nothing in my sent folder. Person did not respond.
Still getting deal alerts

Can you fix this for me?
Thank You

Hi. We don't see anything obvious on our side that should be blocking you from receiving these notifications.
Can you share a specific example of something that you weren't notified about, but should have been?

It looks like you had the setting to save sent messages by default turned off (it's an old Classic setting) so I turned that on for you so that you can more easily confirm that your messages were sent.

Thanks for the example. Do you see that thread listed on this page? Does it say "none" next to it or something else?

Thanks for double-checking. I just tested this and I'm having the same issue as you.
I was able to find a bug ticket for this issue so I just let the team know that this issue is still happening.

Until the team gets a chance to fix it, I confirmed that if you visit that subscribed threads page and manually change the notification type from None to Instant, that you should be able to get notifications that way.
