PM and topic reply Email notification

[Jibgolly]

i'm only getting some notices about replys. not every thread i post in turns up a notifying email. which is ok in some cases, but if i want to watch a certain thread i have no idea if i get the reply's.

(YES....I HAVE THOSE FEATURES CHECKED in my profile)

over the weekend i recieved a couple PM's but never got an email saying so.
plus i have a pop-up blocker so my pm window doesnt open and half the time i dont think to look up top for a new message.

dunno whats up with all this. i know you dudes have been working your tails off, and its certainly appreciated.

Have the same problem as Jibgolly...

And, YES....I HAVE THOSE FEATURES CHECKED in my profile as well... :wink:


Anybody knows what's wrong?

[mario belter]

yeah, me too :cry:

I've notice another new problem, a lot of bounced back errors to my admin account....... it could be that our ISP is blocked by a lot of ISP's as being on a spamming list and so notices of watched topics are bouncing back to me,

where's shep when you need him?

Could be a good explanation admin...

What I don't understand is that I always used to get the notifications on the same email address... Did my provider suddenly change and put your IP on the blacklist? Or did you change your IP?

Just wondering, as I'm really missing my email reminders - it helps me to keep more in touch with the community....

well we changed WEBHOSTS and the new one is black listed. Another thing to do would be to make sure you click on WATCHED TOPICS everytime you return to the site where all your watched topics are listed, that way you can see all the topics of interest even if you dont receive emails.

Re:: PM and topic reply Email notification

could be due to the fact that some isps and specifically mails servers, deny connection (and ultimately failure to deliver email) by ip address. phpbb uses this type of connection in conjuction with sendmail and is a problem for some users on some networks. i myself have seen this problem with some users on my forum; i'm getting their activation emails bounced back to me because of phpbb and how it uses sendmail. this may be causing the problems you are having... i dunno for sure tho, could be wrong, i did minimal research about this when i discovered similar bounced emails myself...

also, keep an eye in your junk email folder, a lot of my reminders ended being thrown into the trash bin + junk email folder

i get the first few replies to topics i start, but after 5 or 6, the notifications taper off.

[Kamal]

Jib do you use the "WATCHED TOPIC" link on top ?? That is an amazing alternative to missing emails

[Jibgolly]

you're right again -e
is there anything you dont know? :P
never bothered with that function before.
guess it is better than emails in a way.
