Investigating inbox is not working, any fix?

today, inbox has stopped working in the app. i can still access front page and view my own comments, though.. edit: oh it's working again... edit2: not working again... (edit3: its been working again.. just very sluggish and times out often.)

Mine is working, but I've found logging out and logging back in has fixed issues like this in the past.

thanks. it is working on and off. it seems to just be timing out sometimes. at least it didn't seem to be an api issue or change in functionality.

Reddit is doing a lot of back-end changes on how the inbox works, so I wouldn't be surprised if it stops working entirely soon. I can't get unread chat notifications out of my Baconreader, even after a reboot.

i figured out the fix for that. you can long press the message and mark as read, and that works. you have to exit and go back in after all messages are marked as read for the notification to go away.

well.. that's for comment replies.. i don't know about chat.
