XF 2.2 Is there a known issue with megathreads and notifications?

So I'm Watching a megathread (on my site) and the settings are correct but it's the only thread I don't get notified for. It has about 16K posts.

The biggest mega-thread I have going is at about 12k posts and I get notifications for it.

I found one with 33k, another with 67k, another with 52k. No reports regarding Watch issues.

Figured it out. You won't receive the inline notification until you have marked the thread read or read the page with the newest reply. Is this normal? EDIT: Yeah okay I knew this lol. But for some reason thought it pertained to emails and the bell always lit up.

Is this normal?

Yes.

Once you have received a notification for a thread, it must be read before any further notifications are sent.

And there's been many threads about this. I'm actually surprised you didn't see them.
