Description Melos 2008-08-24 17:07:47 UTC
When an user edits the talk page of an IP, doesn't appear to the anonymous user the "you have new messages" alert.

I was told that when non-registered users (anons/IPs) are messaged on their
talk page, they do not see the "new message" notice. The warnings to them are
not getting to them.

I tried this independently and failed to get a "new message" notice when my
talk page (anonymous IP talk page) was edited.

This is a critical problem because if anons do not get notifications for posts
to their talk page, they have no way of knowing that they received a waring and
continue their problematic conduct and get blocked.

I conducted the test on tr.wikipedia as I was told of this problem exiting
there first. As I can see from the above post, this isn't unique to tr.wikipedia.

should be fixed in r40461.

Doesn't seem to be fixed? I left a message on my IP talk page on nl.wikipedia, opened a different browser but: no new message notice
Comment 5 Alexandre Emsenhuber [IAlex] 2008-09-11 21:09:04 UTC
that version is not live yet, so it's still broken until somebody sync it.
Comment 6 jeroenvrp 2008-09-15 02:25:26 UTC
Can someone please sync this version or a newer version? This issue is extremely important that it should be fixed! 
Comment 7 Vituzzu@it.wiki 2008-09-17 14:19:01 UTC
It's really serious, we can't send any kind of message to anonymous users
Comment 8 jeroenvrp 2008-09-20 16:41:13 UTC
1.14alpha (r41053)

Should work again now.
