Thanks for your report, that was helpful.

I'll implement automated resubscriptions, but I don't know if it will fix such problems in the future, because it can be browser's/system's fault - if they decide to wipe cache for some reason, there's nothing I can do. Did you ever had problems like that on that device - you are suddenly logged out of some accounts, your settings on sites are gone, etc.?

If you'll encounter same problem again, go to the site and see if there's any subscriptions displayed - if not, it means your subscription has expired and you have to subscribe again, otherwise it might be a problem on my side.

Got it, i had cleared browser cache few days ago, that could be the reason.

Edit: cache on android is usually safe to delete so I don't give second thought.

Update: I cleared browser cache again and subscription is intact, so last time clearing cache was not the cause of the problem.

Feels like it automatically removes subscriptions, I have done nothing to the browser and still my subscription is removed ( (checked minute ago).

Tried subscribing again, says — Error: Registration failed - permission denied.

I saw that your subscription expired a few days ago, and it even happened to myself (but without dropping permissions) on my Firefox browser, while on Chrome everything is smooth. I'm still working on a fix, as it turned out to be a bit harder than I thought, because it's hard to reproduce this problem and test a solution.

Possible to show recent quotes as list (or something similar) rather than notifications, this would avoid browser problems and user will be able check at his own convenience.

It can be done, but it's not really a solution, since the whole point of notification is that they tell you when something happens, freeing you from the need to manually check things. I've created this service because I myself wanted to know when someone quotes my posts, as previously I was checking it by searching for my name on forum.

Overall it all works well in Chrome, but Firefox and mobile browser seem to be very inconsistent. This is due push technology still being experimental in browsers.

I get that, what I mean is, you enter the username >> site will fetch recent quotes to particular user and show it as a list (and not as notifications, or have both) — this will still remove the manual labor.

It's suggestion of course, you have to manage your time as well, so do as you please.

I can add this to Viewing unedited posts and deleted posts if there are more people who want to see it. It'll be one big and forever growing page that shows all posts that mention or quote your username. The easiest implementation would include deeper quotes too (that makes searching the post for a certain phrase very easy).
If I do this, all you need to do is manually check that page, or set up something like Check4Change to do it for you.

I find this hard to understand.

@op do you have any updates planned or have you abandoned this?

Also, why am I getting this error these days: "Error: Registration failed - permission denied"

This wasn't the case before.

I'm currently testing a fix for this unsubscription problem, but as for "permission denied', I don't even know, cause I never encountered this error on any of my browsers. That error means that you should manually give permission to show notifications to this site in your browser. Like I said previously, push technology is still experimental, so it's expected that it won't work perfectly in all browsers.

I also plann to add a new feature after I will fix this problem, so I'm definitely not abandoning this project, I just don't have much free time currently.

I have deployed a patch that should fix the problem with expired subscriptions, all current users might want to visit the site so that a new version of service worker can get installed. Hopefully it will solve this problem.

Also, thanks to LoyceV's suggestion in another thread, I came up with idea of implementing merit notifications - you will get a similar message whenever someone merits your post, with a link to the merited post on click. Stay tuned.

Thanks, I deleted and re-enabled site notifications, it works fine now.

Wondering if this includes notifications for replies to your threads?

Regarding merited post notifications, I personally don't care much as you will see it on your profile anyway.

It does not seem to work with nested quotes (for example, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5192560.msg52765744#msg52765744).

Please correct if wrong.

Yeah, this is intentionally, because why would anyone want to be notified when someone quotes a quote of your post? It's a reply to some other user, so it doesn't concern you directly. If I allowed it, you'd be bombarded with these nested quotes, as many people here just hit "reply" without bothering to clean up the quotes a bit.

[libert19]

If you have time, could you work on notification for replies to user topics?

[hatshepsut93]

There's a forum function for that, so I doubt that many users will be interested in it. Besides, this service has very little users, so I don't think I'm going to be adding new features anytime soon.

You mean email notifications?

Fair enough. I appreciate you for making it thus far, it's helpful.

I have deployed a new update just now which comes with new major feature - merit notifications! If you are subscribed to quote notifications, you will also start receiving notifications when you are merited. The notification tells you how much merit you have received, from whom and in which thread, and as usual, when you click on notification it will open the thread. If you are already using this service, you should probably visit the site to receive the latest update.

Also, I have made an improvement that should help with the expiration problem on some browsers.

Next feature - subscribing and receiving notifications via Telegram!

giammangiato's telegram bot already does that, is there really need for that?

[libert19]

Is merit notifications working fine! Cause I am not receiving it for like past two days.

I just tested merit notification and it works, I also received some yesterday and I checked my logs and see that notifications about your merit were successfully sent. The next time you will send merit to someone, could you please for a moment subscribe to that name and see if you'll receive a notification? Could be some problem with frontend, or with the browser.
