push notifications no longer working?

starting today (Monday July 20, 2020) push notifications stopped mid-day (USA time). On all 3 of my chrome browsers (desktop, android phone, and android tablet)

going to

https://boardgamearena.com/preferences? ... ifications

all boxes are checked "yes" but I'm no longer seeing any browser subscriptions. I tried turning off then on the top "Enable notifications?" radio buttons.

I also checked my settings in chrome and I am "allow" notifications.

Am I really the only one? I hope this is the correct forum to post this?

ps: I am a premium member so it can't be that this feature is now limited only to premium members

Just checked it for Chrome and Firefox and it worked well for me (from the preferences / push notifications / send me a test notification)

thanks for the info. interestingly I had subscribed to my own post but didn't get notice you had replied!

I came back to report it looks like for some reason BGA lost all 3 of my subscriptions...

on desktop w/chrome browser I had to go back and change site setting for BGA to "ask" (from "allow") for notifications then go back to preferences/pushnotifications to re-subscribe and thus have chrome ask.

on android phone in chrome I couldn't go to "ask" and it was "allow" but going back to prefs/pushno... turning off then on did get that one back

I haven't tried on my stock android table but I assume it's same

hope this helps anyone who runs into this in the future!
