Now Fodor's is down. Tough week at IB.

ETA: It's back.

Likes are working! And, NB to those still missing the quotes function: A codged workaround is to click on "My Recent Posts," which shows a listing of threads for which you have recently posted in. That's useful because if you're going to be quoted, it will likely be inside threads you have recently posted in.

Correct, but those are probably also the ones I am actively participating in and revisit when I see them having new posts (bold font) in the forum thread list. It’s really the somewhat older posts where someone follows up with a question or something that will fall through the cracks for me.

To clarify, that works if you teach people to use IBJoel style mentions in their reply - a simple traditional quote doesn’t count as a mention.

Things breaking unexpectedly does happen. When an update is rolled out without prior testing is an unforced error.

It’s a little interesting to me that the reason behind this was “compliance” with PHP 8.4, but PHP 8.4 final doesn’t get released until November. 8.4 Alpha 1 didn’t even get released until June 6. So for feature-impacting releases to be hitting prod nearly 6 months prior to GA, when the thing you’re trying to get compliant with just had its first alpha release that same day, is… interesting…

When I raised the 8.4 release date issue earlier in this thread, the reply was

Sorry, I might have gotten the version mixed up. There's been a lot of chatter in meetings I'm invited to but don't specifically involve me about 8.4. We might be trying to switch at launch. I'm not a tech person. All I know for sure is that we switched to a new PL 3 for this version of vBulletin.

How is this going? If I send a PM now, will the recipient receive an email notification as usual, or is this feature still broken? If broken, any timeline to fix it?

Post quotes unfortunately will not be coming back for the moment

Are we trying to make it harder for people who post? I like to see people responding to my posts. It first showed up under the "Welcome, teddybear99", then moved to be under the bell when clicking on it. Now it's gone all together. Thankfully, I can still see subscribed threads and see them since I last posted to know if someone replied to me.

I am still receiving email notifications when I get private messages.

I received a notification via the FlyerTalk bell about a private message this morning.

Is there any update or ETA when the quote notification function might return?

I did see that post, a long time ago. That’s hopefully not the current state of affairs anymore, as TWA884 pointed out.
