For some odd reason, my email notification when I followed forum thread is not working, I'm not getting any email notifications from a thread I replied and followed and the same goes for recent thread I just followed. Yes, my Always notify me of replies setting is on "yes". However I'm still not getting any email notification, my email notification on PM/Private Messages is still working.

Did my 2-week ban cause my email notification go haywire or something?

Sorry if I bump this, but I tried using another email address to see if the email notification work on that one, and it's not even working when I put in another email address. So can someone give me any report how this issue is being dealt with?

I apologize if I'm bumping this, but it's been over 2 weeks since my last post and my email notification is still not working. Is there any progress on this, or can someone address this issue? Sad

I looked a little bit into it a week or two ago; I was able to get notifications and we're not getting any email bounces from your email address. So the problem is unclear. Didn't have time to look any further since we got 2 downtime incidents and related chaos.

Well I'm still not getting any email notifications as of now. However, when somebody PM me, I do get email notifications. But for any forum thread I follow, I don't get them at all. If the email are not bouncing back to you. What could be the problem. Did my temp ban cause any haywire with the email notification, Dan?? Sad

Well, I created a thread at 9am Eastern Time today, then received a reply 3 hours later at 12:03pm. And now it's 5:41pm, and still haven't received a notification for it.

However, I did just receive an e-mail notification for this thread at 5:35pm, which is the same time as your last post here.

This might be a long-shot, but I believe at least on some forums, settings can be "stuck" on something that it shouldn't be, like your setting for "Always notify me of replies". Your account may show that u have it set to "Yes", but your account on the server may still register it (for some bizarre reason) as "No". To "fix" that, one would just have to set it back to "No", then save changes. Then go back and change the setting back to "Yes".

Again, this is a complete long shot, but it may be worthwhile to try this.

Oh, and it seems I did receive another notification at the same time of your last post at 7:52pm. So it definitely seems to be working again for me. Smile

According to Dan42, it seems like they aren't receiving any e-mail bounces from your account. And I hate to ask this question, since u probably already checked, but just to make sure, have u checked your Spam folder? It's happened to me before on another forum where I started receiving e-mail notifications for new posts in my Spam folder when I wasn't before.
