This has been happening to me daily for 3 or 4 days now. I keep a tab open on my notebook,

https://medium.com/me/activity

and then refresh it every so often. Nothing but the green line across the top wigging out and then I eventually get the "notifications failed to load" line.

Plus of late the comments section has been a royal pain in the arse. I used to comment, click Respond, and then click off the Comment section and back to the story. Now I have to it the X in the upper right corner to get Comments to close. More often than not this causes the story to scroll back to the top. So then I have to remember where I left off and scroll back down.

It's like having a perfectly good sex life and then your partner decides to binge-read Dr Ruth.
