For those of you commenting on my 2026 reading goal, I'm sorry for not responding. Goodreads notifies me that you commented, but I can't actually see the comments. Way to half-ass remove functionality GR.

...and don't forget their removal of any way to see the whole list of 2026 joiners unless you catch the notice in your feed.

I did find a work around at least for now, because they less than half-assed this change. If you look on your profile, the comments will show up under recent updates. As a software engineer, GR's development team irks me to no end with their ineptitude.
I've been having this problem for a while. I check the box, then look at it again and find the box unchecked.

That's been a problem for a few years Juho. There is a place in your account settings where you can turn on getting notified for all updates. It's under Account Settings and then Notifications. I check them all under Comments. That one is supposed to supersede the individual review ones but it was broken for a while just like most things on GR.
They show up under recent updates, until you have enough updates for the reading challenge update to disappear from the list. This half-assed BS is ridiculous, and their dev team should be ashamed.
Yeah, I figured that out. Of course, GR only halfway removed the functionality. The devs don't even know their own systems. It's pathetic.
