When a bookmark is removed from an article, it seems that the points for the bookmark are also removed. It's logical that the points are removed if one removes something he has posted, but if someone else has bookmarked an article, is it correct to remove the points from the author when bookmark is undone?

Yes. We have to assume that if a bookmark is removed then either it was bookmarked incorrectly or the bookmarker no longer feels the article is worth bookmarking.

The other point of view, for what it's worth, is that the user has read the article and no longer needs it bookmarked. It isn't that the article has lost worth it's that the user has read it and no longer needs to come back to it for reference.

I'm not suggesting the points be changed, just adding in a different point of view.

By accident I viewed this profile ISDHN - Professional Profile. The messages count shows 0 but the person has posted a message over here: Small Utility to Swap Mouse Buttons

Another thing. I'm quite confident I saved the settings so that I should get a notification for all new messages on that forum. However, I didn't receive any from the previously mentioned post. I saved the settings again and now they seem to be okay.

Third thing. Is there a place where I could set automatic notifications as the default? I think I have ticked everything in my settings but still new articles don't have automatic email on by default..

Regarding the second point. I just posted a small test Test for email notifications

If I'm looking this correctly, all notifications are disabled Confused | :confused:

You should see something like:

Just to confirm: You've updated the settings (and hit the 'Update' button)?

Was that fix just for one user? The issue still seems quite widespread.

For example, Member 13788937 - Professional Profile[^] :

Latest Messages[^]

I guess it's a caching issue, but how long should the message count be cached for? Smile | :)

Just noticed that if you have a look at Who's Who at CodeProject and order by reputation, the message counts are probably correct for everyone but rest of the counters are all zeroes....

We just need to let the cache catch up

I thought it might be something like that.

Any idea how long it's cached for? It still hasn't caught up 17 hours after the message was posted. Laugh | :laugh:

When we cache something it stays cached.

We'll purge the cache over the weekend.

As of today (08-March-2020) I'm forced to login every half-hour (approximation as I not really measured the time)...
It happening only on CP so I assume the problem is at your end...
Can you help @chris-maunder?

Do you have any ad blockers or tracking blockers (eg uBlock?)

Unfortunately I'm unable to replicate the issue.

Yes, but CP is an exception... And I have the add-blocker for years but never had that experience...

Same experience I had. Explicitly logout and then login again, for me it worked.
