Anyone else having this problem? I exchanged a PM with MKVIIST and he suggested that a change in mail servers could be causing the glitch. I stopped getting mail notifications, I don't know, a couple days ago maybe. Just curious as to whether others are experiencing that. User CP is set up to get them as far as I can tell.

Mine are working fine. Notice sometimes the server does have a lag issue.

Forgot to mention. Check your spam folder. I saw a few times the notifications ending up there. I'm using google mail if. It is worth anything.

Nothing in my spam filter. Maybe I'll switch to my gmail account and see if that has an effect. But I'm definitely not getting any email notifications. I did have one instance a few days ago of a pile notifications coming many hours after they should have (after I'd already seen them or responded), but nothing since.

Strange.

I had a similar issue a few days ago.
Make sure you enter the forum's address as a trusted address in your email settings.

I switched my target email account to my gmail account and it appears to be working again. Comcast was misbehaving I think, but I could not find the emails in a spam folder and could not see now the fiestastforum.com server emails were being blocked (not setup up block as far as I could tell).

And now, stopped working again. I need to dig a little into what going on with comcast.net and check my gmail account to see if any of the redirects are coming.

I actually have the opposite problem. I started receiving email notifications of new thread responses (didn't receive notifications for the first two months on here) and I don't want them. How do I fix that?

Mine has stopped too. Just today. I switched every thread from daily back to instant to maybe reset the setting but still nothing.

Any updates in your end yet?

I gave up with this. It returned for a day when I switched to my gmail target account, then stopped.

Found them in my gmail spam folder...need to figure out how to make gmail recognize incoming as valid from fiestastforum.com. The other forum emails land fine.

Seems to be mainly a gmail issue.

Ok, the people that emailed me so far were mainly gmail users.

So what did you do? Just got a flood of emails, most backlogs.

Same here. It's working, that's for sure. Ha.
