I am not getting the instant notification emails for replies to threads or pms. never had any problems before, but the last 2 days I have noticed I am not getting notification. I checked my spam blocker and blocked addresses and 3geez was not in either of them.

How longs it been since you've been on? Sometimes it won;t send a new notification on a thread you haven't checked, even though you read the email.

Sorry I meant to post in here sooner. I ran diagnostics on the mailing system and everything ran ok, so the email system works. And I did a database repair on the mailqueue tables in case it was a system-wide error. Finally, I reset your email notification settings, but I don't know how helpful that will be.

Occasionally I'll get emails from people saying that they never received the activation email, and usually it's because it winds up in a spam folder - but sometimes I think the system messes up because of the sheer volume of emails that is automatically sent out each day from things like instant notifications. I do know that the instant notification is working because once in a while an...inexperienced user will reply to the email instead of the thread and it gets sent to the main 3geez email address.

^if your referring to me, my stupid phone likes to send emails back to people that email me. I usually catch them, but occasionally i get undeliverable notices in my inbox.

Wasn't referring to you or anyone in particular at all. I was referring to users who actually are inexperienced with the forum system and think that replying to the email will somehow get the message to the original poster.

Oh ok. I always catch my phone doing stuff like that, irritates the buhjeezus out of me.

I got a notification for this, but not for a PM which prompted me to post this
