What happened to my email notifications? Under subscriptions it shows what i'm looking for but now I get no email notifications.
Did the maintenance over the weekend lose them?

Curious.

 

Same thing has happened to me. No emails about new post or pm's. But in the user cp, everything is checked like it's suppose to be. Adam :-)

 

Same here.

theres all kinds of things missing or not working lol

 

Same hear and also on pm's.

 

Yep. PM's, old threads, and new threads. Nutin's workin'. I did check my CP like Charlie and found the same deal. Everything's the way it should be.

 

Same here

 

Yes, the email notification is currently not working due to a mail server issue, from what little I know at this time.

 

ok, glad to know i'm not the only one.

 

oh ok, I was about to post the same thing.
As long as it's noted. I guess i'll know when it's fixed when I start getting emails again eh?

 

That's what I figure.

 

Seems to be working now. I had about 6 emails for this site this morning. A few from new post and a few from new pm's. Adam :-)

 

 

still no notification on anything

 

It was up for a bit.
I just noticed today that notification has been down again for the past 2 days.

 

any idea when this will be fixed?

 

I am having the same problem as you guys, and it is very frustrating!

What's going on with this?????? It's been about a month since I've gotten an email notification!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this the begining of the end? What other features are we going to lose??

 

me too

 

Can you guys break just one thing at a time ;-)

 

I'm under the impression that the email functions should get restored, soon. You will notice that the search feature was broken, and was giving a high priority over email convenience. Email features being offline isn't simply a problem to you members, it is to us staff members as well.

In short, TGO was moved to a different server, transfered ownership and has been working on some issues that were not foreseen. Transferring a large website to different servers doesn't always go as planned. People with experience and knowledge in this area will also know that rebuilding the search on a database this large isn't a trivial matter.

 

Any news on the email notification?

 

It has been another month, any update?
It work only half way, I get maybe one reply notification per day but see several replies to subscribed threads (different threads).

Thx
Lou

 

Been working for me for awhile now

 

Check your subscription levels for those threads. Also, you will likely only be notified once per thread, regardless if there is multiple replies.

 

My subscription level is Instant Email Notification, by default.
I realize that I get only one notification for multiple replies in the same thread. That's why I made the "different threads" comment.

For example, there were replies to three of my subscribed threads since yesterday. And I received only one notification, for this thread specifically.
It varies day by day, sometimes I get more notifications, sometimes less.

What could be causing this?

I see you're using a yahoo email address. This isn't the first time I've heard of a member using a Yahoo email address that didn't always get emails from the forums. Might also want to check your spam/bulk folder.

 

Spam/bulk folder contains only spam, that's what I like about Yahoo, they have good filters.
We did have some email shortages back when Yahoo was running like crap but I haven't detected a problem in a few months. Oh well, I'll just keep checking all the threads by hand.

Btw, the link that's sent in the email notification has "-new-post" at the end. I'd assume it's supposed to take me to the actual new post in the thread but it doesn't, it always shows the first post. Same thing with the little "blue down arrow" in front of a thread with new replies (in the thread list). It has the same link but takes you to the first post instead. Could you guys look into that, please?

The email filtering system is not perfect. I had a Yahoo email account as a test system that had forum notification go into the Spam/Bulk folder (without me teaching it to do so), and I've worked with some members that have had it occur as well on Yahoo. Beyond that, there were some cases where members using Yahoo's email service didn't even get emails from TGO.

So when a member reports that they are having issues receiving forum email, and they're using Yahoo's email service, I often find the two related.

 

I received all the expected email notifications today so it's all good at this moment.

Any idea on the new-post link issue?
