Twice in the past year I've been upgraded after boarding, and no one bothered to come back to let me know. In both cases I assumed I would not be upgraded as the front cabin had checked in full, and the door had been closed, so I didn't think to check. The flight attendants didn't seem concerned to be taking off with empty seats in F. If this has happened to me twice, maybe it happens all the time? Could be what happened in this case.
