Multiple users have reported that they either didn’t receive a notification for replies to their topics or that it was turned off.
- (05 Sep 2020) [Segmentation fault running Picard](https://community.metabrainz.org/t/493337/5)
- (31 Jul 2020) [Completely frozen on "Save"](https://community.metabrainz.org/t/488241/4)
- (28 Jun 2020) [Single file "Pending" during lookup MusiBrainz Picard](https://community.metabrainz.org/t/482954/3)
- (19 Jun 2020) [[SOLVED] MusicBrainz Picard doesn't work anymore with Ubuntu 20.04](https://community.metabrainz.org/t/480975/4)
I have email notifications disabled for myself since I pop in at least once a day. But when enabled they worked as expected.
Additionally to the reports above I have also noticed some users requesting help but to never hear back after:
- (04 Jun 2020) [I'm trying to add a release](https://community.metabrainz.org/t/480052)
- (13 May 2020) [Encouraging Adding Edit Notes](https://community.metabrainz.org/t/435823/39)
Not to mention that we haven’t heard much from @lukz for quite a while which worries some as [AcoustID is breaking apart in the meantime](https://community.metabrainz.org/t/492674). He might have his reasons though.
Since this Discourse instance seems to be updated regularly, incl. beta versions, might this have affected the configuration?

Discourse was upgraded to latest stable (2.5.1) 2 days ago and no obvious misbehavior was observed.
I checked most complaints and it seems the lack of notifications is mainly due to user preferences, not sure if upgrade affected them though.
About luks & AcoustID, no news from him yet ☹
