why do i not receive notifications ??

[40427]

On all the other forums i take part in, when i post something I get a notification when ever someone replies to my post automatically.

That does not happen here, wondered if maybe i have something not set up correctly or is that just the way this forum works ??

Thanks, Doug

Doug -

Go to the User CP at the upper left of the screen. Click on Edit Options. Under messaging and notification, there's a section on Thread Subscription Mode. You should be able to change the messaging through that setting. Let us know if that doesn't work for you.

Thanks Kurt, I think I have it set right now.

By the way, i am not sure if my apology for my previous mistakes ever got through to you. I appreciate your help .

Got your previous PMs...no problem. I hope this change in the settings does the trick.

Doug:

You may want to consider doing subscriptions without notifications, to reduce your e-mail volume.

Then, when you go onto the Forum, just hit Quick Links, and Subscribed Threads, and check if there are new posts. I always go to Subscribed Threads first and then to New Posts. Then I can quickly check for new stuff on the three boards that I belong to.

There may be something more than just "user settings" going on here.

I used to get notifications on all my subscribed threads. Settings have not changed, and i have gone in and reset to exactly what they had been (no change involved, just repeating the setup). In the past month or so, i have only received notifications very sporadically- last time was a flurry of 7 or 8 all in a burst about a week ago, then back to nothing.
