Archived Notification Feed

None of the videos or photos ever surfaced on the internet

It is a free site. Having alpha and beta environments is expensive
 
Things settled down for me. Two things I noticed. The new version is slow to display both the current and archived lists. The second is... well... I don't get many notifications to begin with. So with the current page blank, when do I determine it's the normal state or it's SNAFU again? And how often are notifications archived? Is it automatic?

The old way was much better for my particular UI at that level.

I assume it was done for reasons other than an enhanced user experience.
 
"no results" isn't a no-op, though.

The rendering of the results might be a no-op, but there's still a search op.
Bad phrasing on my part. A well written SQL query against an optimized database will have minimal search/week time regardless of data load. Any delay will be in moving the data to the front end or the front end massaging it to meet its needs. Of course this is all meaningless as we have no idea what tech stack Manu is using behind the curtain.
 
If you go to the bottom right corner of the now empty activity screen and find the language box, scroll to down to other and select. The you will see the possibility to view your archived activity. Please don't ask me how this works. It's the computer equivalent of hitting a car engine with a hammer, but it works
Looks like it worked for some, but no change for me.
 
It’s really super-flaky, keeps alternating between showing stuff and:

Unfortunately, we can not display Activities due to a technical issue right now. Please try again later.
 
I have a couple of new updates, but some seem to have slipped through the cracks. I have two new followers, but there's no mention of them in either the new Activities list or the Archived Notifications.
 
I’m starting to think Manu has a quantum processor. Sometimes my activity is there, sometimes it’s not. It seems to be in both the new and archive unless I look at it, then it’s just gone. Maybe it’s not where it is, but when, and that’s not now.
 
Even notifications from this morning are showing up in the archived side of things for me, so it's not like they drew a line at sometime yesterday and everything older than that is archived. And it is reporting a new story as getting an Editor's choice, which I do not think is true. I see no indication of it on the story or the listing of the story on the author;s page.

OMFG 😢

They might have another bug. My story has been published and although the number of votes changes, the number of view is stuck at 15.
 
Might? Another, as in singular?

Sorry, I am a little skeptical of the status of the site right now.
 
I'm so happy this can be happening just as I have a new story out. BTW, does anyone know what having your story marked as "Editor's Choice" means?

Normally it would mean that Laurel (or the cats) really liked it. Now? Probably means a bug.
 
As a professional engineer, this is the kind of release I read about on TheRegister, wincing frequently.

sorry to harp on, but it's really shocking how badly this was 1. announced and 2. implemented.
I’ve been in situations where I was product owner, architect, lead design engineer, programmer, QA, and User Acceptance. It makes for fast lean development and delivery, but if you miss something, you miss is six times. Just saying.
