I can;t recall what was done exactly but I think the app needed to be refreshed to show notifications or restarted, I may be wrong as I only skimmed the thread. Worth checking on the group thread first for clues that may help your member and also to report the similar problems to Chris in there.<br>

	'''Sheila''' I don't think this has been resolved. I still don't get notifications on the app unless I open the app and start using it. Then the notifications show. Mine do appear when I log in, others have said they actually have to enter chat to get the notifications showing. By then you don't need a notification. It is something being looked at currently as far as I know. I'm just telling people to log in and check chat rather than rely on notifications. Members can now also set up text messages so they get a text message if a chat is waiting, so if people are having problems, maybe suggest they set it up. its free to the end user.<br>		'''Sheila''' I don't think this has been resolved.

			I haven't hunted for answers or done any testing as I'm still sore! I have asked him if he's using the app or website.

			"Hi, I am very grateful for the service you provide especially for finding volunteers. My only comment would be that when I receive the emails asking whether a post is still active or not and once logged in,that when I click the still active button it doesn't give a positive response so sometimes I am not sure it has worked and I maybe then click it again and you maybe get more than one response, for which I apologise. Is it possible to amend the click buttons so that a positive response is shown? Thanks again for a great service. John"
