Topic: Is anybody else not getting e-mail notifications of thread updates?

[Obsequious]

I've noticed that I haven't received one in several days, I think.

Check your spam folder and make sure you haven't accidentally marked one as spam - that's happened to me a few times.

I'm receiving all my updates via email since the DNS/IP issue got resolved. I have had the updates get shuffled into my spam folder before, though, so I second what Ben said.

[Citizen Skeptic]

Yeah, I've had the spam problem a couple of times with gmail.

I've also noticed though that I don't always get notifications of new topics although I have notify enabled.

And what happened to the SGU forums the other day?  I couldn't access them at all for the whole day.

[Citizen Skeptic]

Yeah, they were down for a couple of days it seemed. I just assumed we got attacked.

Not so much attacked as our IP address was changed, and the change didn't propagate everywhere it needed to propagate.

I think it only sends you one or two a day--I have that notification enabled for several boards, and I definitely don't get notified of every single new topic. Granted, as busy as some of the boards are, I'm grateful for this.

Nothing in my spam folder. And just to be clear, I'm not looking to get notified of new topics; I only want to be notified when there's an update to a thread I've posted in.

Hm. I'm definitely still getting notifications. Maybe just reapply the settings? You should be able to retroactively apply the settings to the threads that you've posted in previously. I say should. Let me explore.

Thanks! I just clicked "unnotify" on this thread and then clicked "notify" again. We'll see what happens.

Is it working?

I've tried that a few times thinking that maybe a cookie got eaten but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

I just checked science / science talk threads and low and behold, I have not been notified about infographics and how they explain evidence, which is one I would have hated to miss.

CS: Like I said, I think the notifications for the boards (not the threads) only give you one or two per board per day. That's just how the software is, I think. Let me monkey around with some settings tonight and I'll see if I can figure out something for you.

Not kevetchen. Just checking and reporting to help you with your investigation.

No, still not working.
