This was asked before too. link.

Currently I am facing the issue of appearance of reputation notification in above toolbar.

I can see the reputation notification, for every page refresh even after clicking and viewing the notification.

    Not only the reputation notifications - but also unread inbox messages

    Also mentioned on meta.SO. Seems to be widespread.

  • Can't even see reputation of other users on hover on a username's link too.

    Probably by design, they are testing stuff and test is not over yet.

    ShadowWizard they wrote it's a read-write test, I don't think it's relevant. Looks like they deployed a bug... @david-fullerton

    There's another problem with different symptoms. I suspect that it might still be related since it also started after the site maintenance completed. See meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/268978/…. I don't know if it affects sites other than SO, so I posted it on MSO.

  • It's still happening to me on Seasoned Advice. The tabs are unchanged. The system obviously still adds rep points, since I just signed up for this stack and can leave this comment. But the tab still shows the number (that actually should have changed a few times today) that it's been showing since it got stuck.

    @PatrickHofman I just came to say exactly the same thing. The upvote is tallied in my total rep and shows up in my profile, but not on the drop down.

    @alfasin I don't think it's a coincidence. Maybe they didn't intend for things to actually break but fact is, things broke.

    In my case, it got stuck there when I tried to clear it on Anime.SE. I only manage to clear my notification by opening the list on Meta.SE.

    So no solution? We only hope for the sx team to fix this?

Reset to default

This was caused by a Redis failover snafu during the maintenance on Saturday. It should be all cleaned up now, though you'll need to click the notification one last time to clear it.

  • Still not fixed on Area51. If I get rep change while there, it will show up every time after page reload, and only after clearing it on "ordinary" site it will stop showing. Should I submit new bug report for this?
