As of last Sunday the notification setting did not reset to 'no' automatically. It looks like they've finally been fixed, along with the view counters coming back and the 'last active' section on the profile being properly updated once again.

I'm not positive, but I think you might need to change your notification setting back to 'yes' one last time, if you haven't been on top of it from week to week. You can do this here.

Did someone go and fix them, or was it the vagaries of the system, which could come back again?

Your suspicion is correct. I didn't change mine back until the fix came in, and yeah, you do have to change it back this one last time (fingers crossed).

Now do something about the Spammers and get back news up to date.

Neat? I distinctly remember turning them off in the first place. Do quote notifications greatly benefit the forum experience?

At the very least it lets you know when someone replies to something you say. That way you don't just have to go through page after page of every thread you've ever posted on to see if anyone replied to you.

I think the views bug (where all new posts would forever have no views, even if they had comments on them) has also been fixed!

Huzzah! Here's hoping this isn't just a last breath from the site before perma-dying.

I still believe that this is all due to the site breaking even further. So broken, that it fixed itself.

Makes me wonder what the hell is going on. I've been ready to say my goodbyes for awhile, and now this is all happening. I mean, I'm grateful... But this is so weird. Wish we knew who was behind this

Clearly the site feels it's taken enough abuse and has had enough of being ignored that it has developed sentience and started fixing itself. You heard it here first, Skynet was called The Escapist before the robots attacked!

I don't think I have that particular problem. My saved url for the site is to my profile page, and through that I visit my "Recent Comments". There is also the thing where I don't post all that often. I'm running a great streak here in 2018.

Thank you very much for the post and the link! Please imagine that this site had a like, +1, thumb up, karma or other similar thing, and that you just got one of those :)

As a favour, would someone mind quoting this here post of mine just to test it please? If you would like to make some sport of it, please feel free to change the words to make me say something I didn't. :)

I'll quote you!
Though you'll not find me changing your quote. I only do that for fun in the WW. ,)
