Re: "Notify" working intermittently?
It's possible that this could have happened to a few topics when I was checking notifications with my phone, since the phone browser did log off of the forum unexpectedly last week. I usually notice right away if that happens, though, since the theme changes from green (my theme) to blue (the default). It hadn't occurred to me that being logged off would have that effect. Thank you!
One change I made around the time the problem became apparent was to switch to using the new Google GMail app on my phone to follow the forum. It saves a "tap" or two for each message, because it shows the browser inside the app and a single tap returns to the message list. I will watch it more closely to make sure that I stay logged on to the forum.

A tentative explanation I've constructed for myself based on several observations would be that one has to be logged in when inspecting notification links in order for later notifications for the same thread to be send to you. Being logged in while reading other threads is also helpful especially when your own posting has been quite a while ago in any particular thread.
There may be other explanations and/or strategies involved of which I have no knowledge, so fwiw.
Just read the posts of Jason(ocean59) while typing and concur with him.
