Email Notifications have Stopped?

**rroselavy** · 10-10-2007, 05:28 PM

Hey all,

I PM'd Rob about this, but he may be very busy with all he does...

---

About 4 days ago I stopped receiving email notifications for my subscribed threads. I have verified that my CP options are set to "send instant email" and my threads are all labeled as "Instant". At first, I thought I was simply unpopular (and that may still be the case

), but I went back to some threads I created and indeed I saw several responses to my OP.

Is this a known problem, and how do I fix it?

BTW: I will attempt to verify that my (IMAP) email account is working as expected. I have received many other emails on this account over the past 4 days, so I doubt that the account is the problem.

Thanks!

-Scott

have you checked your junk mail, if you have a seperate folder for that ?? i know a lot of things that i am expecting go to my "junk" folder and i have to add the site to the "safe" list. just a thought.

For example, I created a thread entitled "Phosphate + Carbon Reactor?" yesterday, and received some helpful replies - but I never received notification of any replies.

This leads me to my next question:

Will I not receive any notifications if I am logged into TR and merely browse various threads through the day?

I use the "New Posts" feature quite frequently, but rely on my email notification to determine whether anyone has responded.

Thanks bobby,

Yeah, I checked my Junk folder. I have several rules that sift through emails - so I checked those as well.

no problem, it was just a thought. hmmm, guess Rob will have to check into that for you. sorry, i can be of no help on that issue.

That's odd. My notifications are working fine. I leave TR open all day at work and recieve notifications even if I'm logged into the site.

I'm sure Rob can fix it up.

Hopefully. It is definitely not working...I did not receive any notification of your post...

I just changed my email address in the CP options to my other email address. It stated that I would be send a confirmation email, but so far - nothing. I think I am being passively banned from the site... :-)

Don't take it personal, we still love you.

Rob is looking into the issue.

***Rob*** · 10-12-2007, 09:26 PM

yes, the system is sending out emails just fine. i just used it to send out a mass mailer, and i am always getting emails from the board. Carmie is having the exact opposite problem though.. she is getting emails when she isn't supposed to.. lol
i am checking into things, but so far i have no leads

Add me as another person who is no longer receiving email notifications. Stopped about 5 days ago.

Sorry for your predicament, but at least I am not alone now...

Hey-

My "Premium Member" tag is gone!

Perhaps Rob is re-conjigering things?

If you have it on a subscription from PayPal make sure it went through. I had a problem with them a couple of months ago.

To All:
I have confirmed there is a problem with the mailing of some notifications to some people
at this point it appears a few users are not getting emails and newly registered users are not getting there confirmation emails. i have begun work with the developers to try and resolve this issue.

Int he mean time i thank you all for your patience while i work to resolve this

rroselavy,
Regarding the Premium member tag, i will look into that right away

Rob -

Not sure if you did anything, but imagine my suprise when I received 10 email notifications this evening. Happened around 10 pm PST. So the problem appears to be corrected, at least for me!

The problem is fixed for me too. I did a double-take when I saw the emails. Hooray!!!

I guess we're no longer second class citizens!

**CarmieJo** · 10-23-2007, 08:33 PM

But I am still getting them for things I am not subscribed to.

Sorry Carmie, That may be my fault. See I was at the county fair... and you know how they have all those offers for "free" windows, doors, and vinyl siding. Well I couldn't help myself from giving them your email address.
