Not at all. We have not touched or changed the notification phrase.. but what template would that be in? Maybe I can take a look for a spare anchor tag.

I'm having an issue with the @username tagging.. .When you click on the speech bubble it's redirecting to the forum. what should this be changed too?

[CrypticGTX]

Updated from 3.2.1 to 3.2.2 with no issues. Great fix on the "#26: Action dropdown menu cut off short" All the menu options now also work for me.

Thanks!

Many users are reporting in the new 3.2.2 that when someone posts a new thread or answers a thread, it no longer shows up in the chatbox.

This is new with the latest update.
