Why don't I have activity notifications?

Good day. I was away for a few days because I had commitments, but I decided to stop that and show up here again because I don't want to take long breaks. What I noticed is that I didn't have notifications like before, but I had to go into my discussion to reply to everyone. Is this something new or do notifications now delete themselves after a few days? It's cold here today, but yesterday was a real spring. Temperatures change in a few hours. I don't like autumn and rain. What's the weather like there?

I know notifications disappear after awhile, but I’m not quite sure how long it takes. I’m glad you came back again. It is very rainy here, and chilly. It feels like fall is finally here.

Notifications disappear after 7 days, if you want to know.

I definitely forgot about that. I was quite surprised. And autumn is here and I'm not happy about it.

Notifications have always fallen off after 7 days. We're getting storms/showers for the next week or a little longer. It's storming right now and the rain is making it chilly outside. I hope your spring comes on quickly and you get nice weather again.

I seem to have forgotten about that. I was surprised to see that I had no notice. Will the storms be severe there?

@Nevena83 Maybe... The forecast is showing possible tornadoes across the center of the US over the next few days. (Normally, tornadoes go around my city but we can still have problems if the tornadoes take out infrastructure like power lines and internet relays.)

@DaddyEvil Oh, that sounds scary. I've only seen tornadoes in movies and I've always wondered how people survive such terrible storms. Do you have a shelter?

After 7 days notifications disappear. If you did not check during the past 7 days you have no more notifications. Today is a beautiful sunny day.

@Nevena83 - It was warm today, may be also the next two days, then the rain will be back.

I seem to have forgotten that fact. I was quite surprised to see that I had nothing. We had rain here again a little while ago, but it's not very cold.

@LadyDuck Have you heard that you will have a cold winter there?

It's sunny but chilly here today. Guess cold winter weather will be here sooner than I'd like.

@Nevena83 I'm shivering just hearing that you're going to have the coldest winter in 20 years. Gosh I hope they're wrong.

@Marilynda1225 I hope they're wrong too. I don't like cold weather. Are the winters cold there?

That's exactly what I have noticed. There are less people active here. Our posts recieve less comments. Here the weather is neither cold, nor hot. We have a nice weather.

@Nevena83 May be, but I'm talking about less responses in our posts. We recieve just a few responses. I don't know what the reason is We have cold weather, but only in winter. The winter here is not so cold as it is in Europe and America.

@Shivram59 I feel like it's not the same as before. People used to comment a lot more. I don't think the new members are as active.

I've noticed less activity too and I'm quite surprised. Although they say notifications are deleted after 7 days. Yeah, I remember you telling me you don't have cold weather there, right?

Depends on how long you were away. Notifications expire after 7 days.

@Nevena83 Yep. That'll do it. The only way you can get around this is by changing your settings to send notifications to your email. Then they never expire.

@porwest I didn't know that. Although I get some notifications in my email, I don't think they all do.

It's the best way to always stay up to date.Has it ever happened that you haven't accessed the site for a few days?

I only like autumn when it's sunny. I don't like rain.
