I just got my first notification in two days from your post, Brenda 😊

Yay!!

How odd. I signed out and in and fixed my profile the last time I wasn't getting notifications, and I have been getting them fine ever since. But when I saw these posts, I checked my profile and it said last active in January. So... I fixed it again. Just another glitch to keep checking!

Yes, annoyingly, its going to be something to have to remember to check.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm only receiving "likes" notifications at the moment :(

Me too.

Grrr!

I'm still getting notifications :)

Mine is fine this morning

Mine are still only likes unfortunately.

Very strange!

That's GR for you. Much more erratic than the olden days.

Yes Sandra, and that is really sad :( And mine are still only likes..

A lot of people are reporting notification issues - mine, for a change, is behaving itself.

I don’t know if this will help, but last time my notifications stopped I cleared the history cache on my computer and they started again.

Thanks Sally, you could be right!

I just checked my profile and it said I hadn't been active since March. So I signed out of my laptop GR as well as my phone, then signed back in. Then I discovered - according to GR - I've read 186 books!! There are around 50 included in there with blank covers and "author not available" which I'm now in the process of deleting. There are also some duplicated books!!! This last thing has been going on since the beginning of the year at least!

Thank you Sally - I just received the last two notifications that weren't likes!!!

Ah, yes. That work around is still working, it seems. Good to know.

And I received yours Sandra!

I have six notifications after not managing to be on Goodreads for about a week....

Have you tried the work around Leonie? I can't see when you're last shown as being online as you're an author, but if you completely log out of GR on all the devices you use, then log back in again, it helps. I'm not saying it'll fix your notifications - though it did mine - but it could. I think there are also constant problems with GR anyway...

I've taken to pulling up 'discussions' and working my way down them in the groups I'm most attached to. That would be my work around, I suppose. It seems to work OK.

That works for me too Leonie

I don't know if this is affecting anyone else, but I'm only getting "likes" notifications, not any new postings :(

I just got this notification, only just turned the computer on :D

I have only been getting likes notifications for several days now

Checked and my profile said I was last active in May 2025. Just signed out and in again and it now says last active this month. Hopefully that will fix notifications as well.

I'll try that, thanks Phrynne 😊

I’m also getting issues with notifications again.

I’ll try signing out and back in!

At least I’m not the only one with this problem.

I signed out then in again on both devices, and think it's okay again now!!

On another issue, I just noticed (when signing back in again) that my reading challenge showed I'd read 345 books out of 350! Which of course is incorrect. I went through them all, and there are double ups, plus in the "kindle" shelf (not GR) there are blank covers with authors unknown. So I've deleted all those (a slow process) and am now 7 over, which means I deleted 67 "books" and the 7 left are double ups! Not sure which ones to delete of those as they are all showing GR shelf!!! It'd be a shame if everything was right in this jolly system!

For the double ups, go by asin or isbn. Keep the ones you actually read.

Thanks for that info Sandra. I saw I had double ups a few weeks ago was unsure how to remove the right one!
