I'm not mad, lol. I apologize if I gave you that impression. The entire situation is just perplexing since I can't replicate any of your issues so I'm not sure what's going wrong.
I don't understand the difference between a "comment post" and a "comment on an activity post"
There's 2 types of streams in CB Activity. Activity and Comments. Notifications in the Comments section apply to all Comment streams. Activity streams use Comment streams for their commenting.
The Comment notification under the Activity section is just to enable a notification strictly for activity comments. There isn't a comment reply notification strictly for activity. You can have enable comment reply notifications globally, which applies to all comment streams including Activity comment streams, under the Comments section if you want comment reply notifications. I'll review adding a parameter for comment replies exclusively for activity posts in a future release.
If CB Activity > Notifications > Comments > Replies is not sending notifications for replies to comments for you then that's a different issue. If possible can we please focus this topic on a single problem at a time as it's getting too hard to follow. Lets make 1 notification, that isn't working, working again.
I should also mention that comments on your own posts will not send notifications. So if you're testing this with a single user that maybe why you're not seeing a notification be sent. So for example if User A makes an activity post then User A comments on that activity post it won't send a notification.
