I don't get the notifications anymore, anyone else ?

Yup, it’s been broken for a while now.

The load times for messages are still really bad, too. This was first pointed out in August.

yeah the loading time sucks but I was still getting notified 2 weeks ago

[quote]but I was still getting notified 2 weeks ago[/quote] Really? Because those have been broken for the rest of us since August, as mentioned in the thread I linked.

ye

I checked my DMs after reading this post and it turns out i had several month old DMs that i never knew existed lol

The long load time is also baffling me - it was an issue when the rest of the site was responding at the same speed but it's stayed just as slow, more so even.

nah Garsh, I only have 7 DMs across all convos and it still takes 1min+ to load every time

Yeah, I also don't have a lot of DMs myself, and it still takes ages to load.

My guess is as good as any, but I think that:

• The reason that DMs still take so long even after the site improved dramatically in performance not long ago is because the DMs themselves are the root cause of the problem and they merely made them load separately from the rest of the site, isolating the issue.
• It's probably not because of a single user's DMs, but rather it's probably having issues reading the whole table of DMs for the entire site every time you load that particular page.

I can't imagine there'd be so many DMs for it to get this bad, but with a site with such a large audience such as this one having 1 or 2 DMs per user would really start to add up I guess. Then again, notifications and other user-specific functions work just fine, which would debunk this idea, so I don't know.
