Is this a new bug?

Not a rant but a question. Has anyone else found that "Works Activity" notifications have gone away? I used to use it when traffic was busy to figure out if I'd missed a notification, but I haven't seen a count there in a couple of weeks, even when I've seen new traffic in the category.

Mine appears to be current - someone faved a story last week.

The feed itself is current, but did you see a notification when the favorite was added?

I've noticed that as well. If you refresh, new notifications are shown, but you no longer get the count of new notifications, telling you to refresh.

Yes.

Yeah, that's what I should have said. The notifications are there, but not the count that indicates the number of notifications since you last visited the feed. It was a good indicator of how far down to read.

I noticed earlier that my page no longer shows the count for new activity. There was a thread in the last few days from some people whose counter climbed to 200 and stuck there. Taking the number down might be an intermediate step in fixing the problem.

I didn't notice that, but I'm definitely seeing it.

Other people are reporting their alert count frozen, sometimes at 200.

Count me as one of the "200s." Feels we're part of some subset in an experiment.

My All Activity count is stuck at 200, but I got alerts just a few hours ago.

@Manu: this is kind of a mess.

I know there's a lot on your plate. But.
