not receiving emails from subscribed threads

[ericg]

Hi,
I subscribed to a couple of threads but have not seen any notifications come through, I checked my email address and that is correct, I sent myself a couple of pm's and they arrived OK but no notifications on new posts.

can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong or whatever, I use gmail.com for emails.

thanks in advance

Eric

Did they (based on content perhaps) end up in your junk mail folder?

[ericg]

No, I check the junk/spam boxes and nothing there.
cheers...

First thing that comes to mind, is what frequency did you set the notifications to.

Cannot remember the exact frequencies available, but you may have them at weekly.

[ericg]

I set them to daily, but I'll double check that, however it has been more than a week since I set them.
I was hoping that an administrator could check that they are not going to my old email address.

Automatic Thread Subscription Mode was set to Do not subscribe.

I have changed this to Daily email notification.

If you still have a problem please let me know.

Hello Rob

Can't find a problem. Have reset your notifications to Daily. See how that goes.

Couple of questions:

• Not trying to be smart...
  
  • But have there been any new posts in the subscribed threads since not receiving notifications?
  
  
• Have you had any recent upgrades to your computer eg: windows update or similar?
• Are you running any blocking programs like adblock, VPS or similar?
• Have your spam filters been updated recently either by you or your service provider?

Currently waiting on a forum upgrade to latest version but haven't been able to get it done due to time and space constraints. Hoping to be able to get the guru to do it over the Christmas break but unable to get hold of him.

Give it a couple of days and let me know if the daily notification works. Please be sure there have been new posts in the subscribed threads before contacting me.

Cheers - Neil

Just checked notifications to daily and it was off . I remember setting that On weeks ago ??
Ill see what happens now.
Edit 11.07 In My subscriptions ,Subscriptions , Notifications are now ticked on . Below that some are ticked daily some ticked instant. They are all ticked though. all that was off.


Edit 11.37 PM Problem ?
In My subscriptions , subscriptions , I just went back to that page and checked since 11.07 PM, its all un ticked again !
There is no save changes option that I can see there either.

Edit 11.57 PM just went to General settings then to Default Thread Subscription Mode , then changed that fom Daily using email to instantly using email.








Thanks Neil.
yes there has been new posts in the threads.
No upgrades
No Blocking programs that I know of.
And no updates to spam filters that I know of .

I posted something on the Metal Work Forums recently and an email notification came through when a reply was posted.

Im still getting nothing from WW forums . Its been a while and Ive been lazy 1 , and the settings part of the forum is something I wander around in a bit lost sometimes . Getting a little better at it tonight though .

My guess is I may have accidentally pressed the "unsubscribe from all threads" option doing something on my phone while reading a forum email.
In settings, what do I look for to check that.

While checking my settings weeks ago I thought I ticked that on? Or turned it on somehow?

When I used the computer my emails come to, I had a blocking option with that email software. I dont use that computer now , much , so WWF emails were not blocked on that.
I haven't touched that computer for months.

And I don't know of any options for blocking emails that I open on my phone .
I can unsubscribe from some emails with that option , on my phone . But no blocking or bouncing that I know of there unfortunately.

Rob, in your Subscriptions, after you’ve ticked the boxes, you have to scroll down and click on “Selected Threads” select an action then click Go.

And in General Settings, once you’ve selected an action you have to scroll down and click on “Save Changes”

Hope this clears it up for you

[auscab]

DJ you rippa .
I just went into selected threads and did that .
These things seem so obvious after your show a way .
Thanks . Hopefully that gets the emails going again.

I did the save changes in general settings last night .

Any idea if I send myself a PM as a test whether that will send an email out to me ?
seeing that I’m sending and recieving while I’m on forum ?

If any one reads this can you reply to this thread . Just write test .
So I can see if my email notifaictions are working .
Thanks

Rob I'll reply, but the 'thread information' window says you are still viewing the thread. I don't think you will get a notification if you keep the thread open in another window.
