I no longer receive thread replies, even though I have multiple replies . I was wondering if this is a glitch or something of a shadow ban ?
Are there other members who experience this same problem ?
I have a theory as to how & why this happens.
I will wait for feed back from the body & mods before discussing this any further.

This would be something you'd want to use the Complaint form for so we can address it properly.
I suspect that there are gaps in response from the servers ?
It was strange that people were posting on my OP & I was getting no respond messages. It’s working now & assumed it was a glitch , being on ATS I thought mentioning “ shadow banning “ as tongue & cheek … only lol thanks for the infom

Two possible long-standing issues;
Sometimes the system deletes "reply" notices if it thinks you have already seen the reply, because you've already visited that page.
Also there is an occasional glitch by which a "reply" notice is accidentally received by the wrong user (probably the next poster on the thread page), who clicks on the link and fails to find anything addressed to himself. From the viewpoint of the intended recipient, this is a "missing" reply notice.
You may have been hit by a combination of these two problems.
P.S. You can test the system easily by using the "reply" button on one of your own posts. Even those should generate a notice.

Just to remind you (looking at this sentence again), we don't get response messages every time somebody posts on our threads. Only if they click on the specific reply button attached to an individual post.
However, we are automatically subscribed to our own threads, so a glance at MyATS reveals how recently they've been updated.
