Title: Lost notifications email?
Post by: Silver on March 04, 2008, 07:16:19 pm
I appear to have lost notifications of replies to all my "notify" topics, for a while now.

I appear to recieve an email for PM's just fine - so I know my email works and forum software has my email address. But no Reply notifications are coming through.


I have all 3 options ticked:

Receive forum announcements and important notifications by email.
Receive reply notification only for the first unread reply.
Turn notification on when you post or reply to a topic.

And have replies and notifications selected in the: "For topics and boards I've requested notification on, notify me of" option.

Any ideas?

Bump - anyone else experienced this?

I've add several PM's in past 24 hours, and I get an email notification for them. But several threads I'm tracking get replied to and I don't get an email.

Is it anything I'm doing?

If you get a notification for a thread, but then don't revisit that thread, you don't get any further notifications. If that's not happening, try turning notification off and then back on and let us know what happens?

Thanks for the response.

I have tried turning notifications on/off to no effect.

Also this thread is a good example - I started it. I checked notifications are on (if I click on notify, it says "are you sure you wish to disable notifications"). But I have received no notification that you replied here - I had to come and check.

PM's are still working fine - I get email notification of those (and have done in past 24 hours).

I have also tried changing my profile options to turn notifications off - save - then on again - save.

Am I right in thinking the board software only stores one email per user?

For the record, I changed my email address in my profile, and I am now receiving notifications.

Weird how my old email would only recieve PM notifications (I checked the SPAM filter too - not that).

Anyway, I'll put it down as 'gremlins'.
