PM notifcation email not working
« on: June 10, 2010, 05:43:37 PM »
I've stopped getting emails when I get a new PM.  I did check the settings, and it's still set up to email me when I get a PM.

At first I thought it was because I was over the limit, but it happened again when I got down to 2 in my inbox.

Any ideas?

I think we're experiencing a mail hiccup following the site transition. I'm not sure WHY, precisely, but I'm inclined to give it a couple days before deciding it's something I need to call support about.

Mine does that to me all the time.  It'll work for awhile and then stop.  If I go in and reset all my preferences it'll work again for awhile, then stop again.  I always just assumed it was me.  :D

That said, I have been getting "notify" emails, so it may be on a case by case basis -- mail provider not believing that the address the message says it's coming from is actually that address, that sort of thing.

I was getting them up until late last week.  When I get home I'll check my SPAM folder to see if they're being routed there now.

Mine's still not working. I've reselected notification threads and subforums, so I'll let you know if they suddenly start working again for me.
