[Acknowledged-resolved] Flickr notifications not working

pkefali (Relatives visiting - Will be On/Off) says:

Seems on top of flickr being very slow today, that notifications also are not working.

I'm not getting any notification messages from comments left on my photos, or when any of my contacts upload any new photos..


Please see staff comment here:

Maybe the issues reported in the following thread (and now possibly fixed) were the cause of this problem.

Contacts new photos not showing up on my contacts page since yesterday here in the southern US....hello Flickr, anyone reading this? I haven't even checked out the email notifications but since I had NONE overnight, I would guess that is also an issue. '
Edit: So I see someone is fixing it...know it's not any better from where I am and apparently from where a lot of people are.

I'm receiving email notifications, but don't want to. I've always set this preference to "No", and it has set itself back to "yes".

I am getting Contact (photo updates and contact requests) notifications atm but have not had a comment or favourite notification for 2 days now :(

I have set and reset all the appropriate options but it is still not working.

I have seen a number of threads on this issue but they all say the issue has been resolved. I even added to a thread last night saying it wasn't but I am not able to find that thread again :(
