New Push Notification System Released

Posted by Kim on March 31, 2019, 8:07pm

After another day of maintenance, the new push notification system is finally in place!

This primary goal of this new system was to address issues of reliability. Only time will tell if we truly hit that goal, but our fingers and toes are crossed!

One of the other benefits of the new system should be that your inbox message count (in the header) will auto-update every time you receive a push notification.

The downside is that you're going to have to re-register your devices for push notifications. Go here to register your device for push notifications again: https://www.rprepository.com/settings/registerPushDevice.php

I regret that this may be a bumpy transition for some of you. You may have portions of the old system cached, and see unexpected errors when trying to re-register your device. In many tests, the fix to this was just a couple of good page refreshes - (ctrl-shift-r does a "hard" refresh in many Windows browsers that's stronger than a normal refresh, and you might want to bring that into play here.) If that doesn't work for you, you may need to submit a bug report and we'll see what we can figure out. :)

Thank you so much for your patience and support during this process!

@Rose-Garden
That error means you have portions of the old system cached. A lot of the time, the fix is just a couple of good page refreshes - (ctrl-shift-r does a "hard" refresh in many Windows browsers that's stronger than a normal refresh, and you might want to bring that into play here.)
