Forum email notifications glitch
« on: September 01, 2023, 03:07:16 PM »
 Folks, several members have expressed concern that they are no longer receiving email notifications of new posts on the Forum or of PMs waiting for them when they log on.

Our apologies for this issue. We have no idea why the email notifications have stopped but the forum software is rudimentary by modern standards and there may be a glitch that we have yet to identify.

It is important to remember that this problem does not affect forum posts, only emails about posts or pending PM's.

We are looking for ways to fix this issue and in the meantime we apologise for any inconvenience. While we do this, we recommend that you utilise the "Show unread posts since last visit" and "Show new replies to your posts" functionality at the top of the home page; this will allow you to keep abreast of updates to all of the threads. 

Please bear  with us while we seek to fix this problem.

Hello!
I have had this issue regarding notifications of PMs. In my case Google started to send these to the junk mail folder. So, it might not be the forum but the email providers.

I have been experiencing this too. Initially they were going into my spam folder but now I receive no notifications at all. Not a huge problem as I can always just scan through the site to see what's been posted.

I am still having this problem. No PM notificatins, or topic replies or new topic notifications. For a while they were redirected to my spamfolder, but not anymore. I use Gmail, same as Fredrik. I wonder if other forumites using Gmail experience the same problem.
