Are there any errors being throw?

No

We are getting complaints from users that watched blog entry comment notifications don't work (especially for users who were the last to comment on a blog entry and didn't view the blog entry again after posting the comment).

Looking at the code it seems to me like the notifier loads the wrong read timestamps:

$readDates = $db->fetchPairs("
        SELECT user.user_id,
                GREATEST(
                        COALESCE(blog_entry_read.blog_entry_read_date, 0),
                        ?
                )
        FROM xf_user AS user
        LEFT JOIN xf_xa_ubs_blog_entry_read AS blog_entry_read ON
                (blog_entry_read.user_id = user.user_id AND blog_entry_read.blog_entry_id = ?)
        WHERE user.user_id IN (" . $db->quote($userIds) . ")
", [$autoReadDate, $comment->blog_entry_id]);

As far as I understand the code, this gets the timestaps for the blog entries, not for blog entry comments.

So shouldn't this be smth. like

$readDates = $db->fetchPairs("
        SELECT user.user_id,
                GREATEST(
                        COALESCE(blog_entry_comment_read.comment_read_date, 0),
                        ?
                )
        FROM xf_user AS user
        LEFT JOIN xf_xa_ubs_comment_read AS blog_entry_comment_read ON
                (blog_entry_comment_read.user_id = user.user_id AND blog_entry_comment_read.blog_entry_id = ?)
        WHERE user.user_id IN (" . $db->quote($userIds) . ")
", [$autoReadDate, $comment->blog_entry_id]);

instead?

comment notifications don't work

I don't know whether this statement means that alerts are not being sent or if the alerts are being sent, but are being aggressively marked as read before the user actually sees them. I had someone just the other day say that users were not getting comment alerts, but it turned out they were getting comment alerts and they just didn't notice them because of the alerts being marked as read and the users didn't notice them (the alerts didn't stick out as unread).

Could you please clarify which one it is? Thank you!
