I've been experiencing this for a while. Sometimes, (oh, I mean always), when you are on a certain tag, for instance sql, and you keep on waiting, an instant message displays 1 new question(s)..
or X new question(s)...
automatically if a new question has been asked. But now, they won't show until I click F5 on my keyboard or the refresh button on the browser.
What could be the possible reason(s) for this?
- Do I have a slow connection?
- Is that feature currently disabled on StackOverFlow?
- Is there any system maintenance?
UPDATE
Also, when you are talking for a certain user, the comment cannot be seen or even a notice that there is a new comment. Also there is no RED
circle if a new message has arrived in your inbox.
