Notification with WPCentral app 7.8

Hi, so I use the WPCentral app all the time, but the notifications on the tile have stopped working for months. There's a couple times where if I restart my phone for an unrelated issue it'll show up on the tile, but it doesn't update regularly. I know Jay has addressed this, but is there a fix in the works? Has the cause even been discovered? I'd love if my WPCentral tile rejoined the ranks of the the living tiles.(

I have a somewhat serious error with this app on a Lumia 620 running WP8.

On a wireless network the app runs perfect with no problem at all. If you switch to your 3G connection and try to log in, the app triggers Three UK's anti-tethering system and causes the entire data connection to be blocked until the phone is restarted. I contacted Three and they don't seem to care.

I have been able to reproduce this bug.
Rikev, that's concerning as i intended to switch to Three shortly, but there's nothing the app does which should be viewed as tethering and without knowing which web call is causing this behaviour there's not a lot I can do?unfortunately.
Even if I did know I don't expect there will be anything I can do, but if you can give me more information I will try

Question: Was the phone on wifi first, then switched to 3g?
Was it plugged into something using a data cable? Or charging when the trigger happened? Look under settings, and see if internet settings is turned on. If so, then turn it off. Also, turn wifi off, but leave 3g on. Restart your phone and see if it happens again.

Internet sharing on plus WiFi on can trigger an anti tethering alarm.

Jay, would you ever consider changing the icon used for the LIKE button? It just feels weird to tell a fellow forum member, "hey, I really HEART your comment"! Maybe a smiley face or an exclamation point would be reasonable alternatives? Just my unsolicited $0.02.

Chris, I've tried but tapatalk keeps throwing errors when I go to use likes, it's a complete pain but I'll try again :)

Love the app but new feature ideas.

I think notifications when updates to stuff you post or paired on(customizable) would show up for lock screen and start.

Jay, I'm unable to open any image from forums in the app. It says failed to fetch the image, tap here to open in the explorer. Any trick to solve this problem? I'm on Lumia 820.
