I have subsription notification turned on on most of the threads I reply to and as such get email notification when somenoe has posted a reply. However, since yesterday no notifications of posts have been emailed even though there have been replies to several threads I'm subscribed to. Is anyone else not getting notifications emailed to them?
Same here. Last notification was Sunday evening. Thought the none yesterday just meant I was online too much.
Where it the forum content physically hosted? Time is still set to GMT +11. Looks like a manual DST fix.
I received no email notification to your reply. Hmmmmm.
Yesterday I was unable to email a thread to my son - have not tried today.
Solved the problem another way as it was about a youtube video.
No problems sending or receiving emails, just not getting the thread notifications.
Test.
Nup, nuttin'.
I'm having the same problem. All notifications have stopped.

In fact I had just notified about how do I get rid of them?
I really don't see the sense in them, as they just fill up my Email Section.
If you all want them, pray tell why?.
I like to be notified when someone posts in a thread that I'm watching and especially for threads that I started myself. Gives me a heads-up without having to regularly manually check them all. Sometimes I forget that I was following a thread, too, but the notifications remind me.Quote:

I'm still not getting any at all.....

I keep missing posts in threads I'm interested in.
I'm still not getting emails from the forum to my telstra.com or bigpond.net.au accounts but they are going to my gmail.com account.
The first two are working for email so its not the servers themselves. While they are obviously related and part of the overall telstra/bigpond cloud at some point they are distinctly different destinations. While I've heard anecdotes of email sometimes held up in transmission even denied delivery to bigpond I have never experienced it before (maybe I have now).
I am not getting:
email updates of thread subsciptions
email "suggested reading" of threads
requests for verification of user cp changes
The gmail.com address seems to work for all above.
The problem is deeper than just "the mail server stopped". Presumably it's logs will be stuffed with undeliverable lines.

Still no notifications coming my way either :C.
Interesting. I am with BigPond. Don't have another account to test.Quote:

I'm outta here. Might check in a week ot two and see if it's fixed.
You can check your subscriptions via you user cp.
I've never used the email notification after I found that it lagged behind (sometimes significantly). If you use Firefox in conjunction with the "Reload Every" add-on you can just have your User Control Panel opened, set the reload to 5 minutes, and Bob's you uncle.
Other than that if you use the iSpy feature (to the right of the UCP link) you are supposed to be able to set it for subscribed threads only.
HTH, Brett
I don't use Firefox, (tried it a few years ago, but preferred IE), so that's out.Quote:

I'll wait until the email notifications are fixed, I reckon.
Meantime, I'll get more work done if I stay away from here. When I get my next email notification, I'll know it's fixed and get on with my threads.
Go to user cp not ispy, that shows your current shows your subscription list
I have uploaded an image of my user cp with the bit circled to show you where to click to open all your subscribed list once you've opened your user cp

Still no forum email to bigpond or telstra emails but do get them on gmail.
It's not just thread reminders its all email from the forum.
I sent a message to the forum webmaster using the contact us link below but no reply to that either. I realise the admins know the situation, my info in message didn't suit a post.
I think most of us know there are several ways to manage thread subscriptions. I just find email more convenient for the job. And like I said, all notification emails from the forum whatever the purpose seem to be affected, so discussions on alternatives is just part of the story.
Yeah. The reason I like email notifications so much is that I've set my PC to make a nice loud noise when email arrives and I can hear it from the work room without regularly dusting off and coming out to check manually. I don't get a lot of other emails in the course of a day, so the system works well.
Suits my lazy nature.
Testing.
Nothing
Another test.
Still nothing :no:.
For those that are wondering what is going on, suggested I try clearing the cache, which I did. I asked him to send a response to this thread, still no email notification. He suggested I try Firefox which I downloaded and installed then asked him to send another post and again received no email notification. I did a reboot after clearing the cache and after installing Firefox, just in case anyone asks :D.
- who gets the webmaster emails/PM or whatever from the contact us link below.
I used it to send some info that may be relevant.
Neil generally.Quote:

Using a gmail account for this username, but will log this username off and subscribe to it with my DJ's Timber username as those notifications go to a bigpond email.
Ok, now subscribed with both usernames.Quote:
