Nobody can help me ?

[enoch85]

I can confirm this.

Tripple-checked all the settings, tried with AJAX instead of CRON, nothing works. No error logs either from what I could see.

[eht16]

To me it seems this feature was removed in #565 and #572.

What is wondering me, that there seems no ChangeLog entry about the feature removal except the two mentioned PRs.

@nickvergessen @ChristophWurst were self notifications removed and was this intentionally?

[nickvergessen]

It was removed as a design decision in #481

The PRs you linked just removed visual parts which had no functionality anymore

[eht16]

Thanks for the clarification.
I personally will miss the self notifications but I see your point.

The more important point might be to document this fact somewhere, I spent some hours debugging my instance because the notifications were missing, I didn't find a note in the ChangeLog nor in the net (except very old and therefore unrelated threads in the forum). And the existence of this issue strengthens this.
