Have you checked your settings page? There are ticks for what you want to be notified about.

Differently, I just got a notification that I mentioned myself in a comment when I quoted a post that had an @reply directed towards me.

@corruptedevil: Just in case you don't know, what you're setting to " immediately " are email notifications, not on site ones. On site ones are just the check boxes.

Anyway, I've had this problem from time to time in the past. I never change any settings or anything, so I dunno. Hasn't happened to me recently (well, at least not that I know of!)

I'm currently experiencing this as well. I cleared my browser's cache and logged in and out but for some reason I don't get notifications in any form. All of mine are set to immediately.

I get notifications but they are hours after I get replied to or mentioned. By the time I get the email I've usually already seen the reply because of the notification in my Giantbomb mailbox.

Yeah, I've had this problem since the site relaunched and kind of just gave up on it.

Same here too, when opening my Notifications page, there is only a single notification there, from yesterday (there were quite a few there two days ago). No @'s since have given me any notifications or emails.

@corruptedevil: You wouldn't have gotten them for old things. Let me know if you get this, though.

My notifications area is blank, they all gone.

@vuud HI PAL I'M TALKIN' TO MYSELF!

Yeah so all my past notifications have been erased, my reply to myself showed up on the list but I didn't get the number next to the red flag at the top.

@rorie: I've always had emails disabled. I feel like I get notifications for name mentions sometimes but not all the time. (for example in the bounden quick look comments someone calls me out and I didn't get a PM for it)

I got an email notification for a mention, but it doesn't show up on the site. All my check boxes are checked.
