Title: Not recieving notifications of replies to topics!
Post by: DUCMONROB on July 22, 2008, 03:43:06 AM
Hi all,

I have of late not been receiving any email notifications for for replies to topics.

I have checked my profile email address, turned down the spam filter on my isp supplier and no change! ???

I recieved one new topic notification this week and that is all.

So what do you think is wrong???

Have you tried resetting the notifications?

Turn them off and back on and let us know.

Tried that!

I have also noticed when I first load up the board the profile button is not showing, the new post tab on each thread(in blue) is missing until I post something. I have posted new topics a couple of days ago and still nothing. One thread I started had 12 replies, nothing!

Email is so boring these days.

Have you updated your browser so that you're coming directly to ducatimonsterforum.org?

Perhaps your spam filter is a little over-enthusiastic?

Rob
The board software is an open source free to use deal. None of us designed it

Nothing was modified except for adding videos, the tiny portal add on that gives us our enhanced sidebar navigation, and the 'skin' which gives us our look.

I get my topic notifications, and no one else seems to be having an issue, which leads me to believe it's something on your end.

The notifications come from my yahoo mail acct. Does your spam filter have provision for exceptions?

If so I suggest you add nh_painteratyahoo.com to the safe list. (address slightly modified)

Let me know.

I would say this is most likely an SMTP deal.  DP, you might wanna drop goddady a note letting them know of the issue and see what they think.  Sometimes what happens is people will dismiss emails as "spam" instead of deleting it (cause they're lazy), then the from address (in this case ours) gets placed on a spam list.  Now, if someone else who has the same provider tries getting email from that same address previously marked as spam, it automatically rejects it and the user never sees it.

So, just drop GD a note and see if they have any ideas to fix this.  Like i said, could be as simple as some SMTP settings.

Would that be a godaddy issue or a provider issue?

Maybe he should check with his provider to see if my nh_painter addy is on the list?

I am starting to have these same problems as well.  I first noticed it yesterday morning when I was trying to see if a local ride was happening.  There were several posts in my local sub-forum that I did not receive any emails about.  I checked my profile, and it is set up to send email alerts, but it says at the bottom that I am not receiving any email notifications at this time.  Anyway, time passes and I start to receiving the emails as normal last night, but have found myself back in the same position.  No email notifications at all.  Any idea?
Title: Re: Not recieving notifications of replies to topics!
Post by: Monsterlover on September 24, 2008, 07:54:19 PM
I also am now plagued by this.

And yes, I tried shutting off email notification, saving, then switching it back on.

Didn't help. . .

This trouble has returned.

It resolved itself eventually last time- nothing I did seemed to fix the issue.

Any ideas?

Yeah...It appears that topic notifications is busted. PM notifications seem to be working.

The times threads are posted is wonky too.

I'll come up with a plan to see if we can get things squared away.

It won't happen overnight.

Well, at least it's not just me then.  I feel a bit better given my love/hate relationship with the technology I own.

Fix it when you can.  I'm starting to like the "show unread posts" button.

I've always gotten notifications from PM's, other than a short period after the recently attempted migration.

I don't receive notifications from topics or boards, and they do appear on the "notifications and e-mail' page of my profile.

I'm going to try something else to see if I can get all notifications to work.

I don't get notifications for boards.

If anyone loses functionality for topics or pms let me know and I'll go back to where it was this am.

I just got two notifications from TOSAT, so that's working for me on 'topics'.

That's the only one I've got selected.

I just got one for the for sale board, so I think that things might be back.

The only thing is is I didn't really 'change' anything. The SMTP mail I tried to set up didn't work so I went back to the old php mail with a new admin mail addy and things seem to be working.

I dunno...these things are smarter than me.

Try setting up notifications on a new thread...like this one.

I got a notification on your post in here.

I'm going to turn them off soon...clogging up my inbox. :P

You might have to go visit them again to reset the "unread posts" parameter... like when normally receiving notifications, you only get one until you visit the thread.

Some of mine were stuck for a little while until I did that.

Im not sure I understand this.  In the past, if I posted in a thread, I would get notifications.

Since I've posted in tosat before, simply visiting that thread should turn the notifications back on (that's how it used to work)

I've also tried disabling then re-enabling notifications to no success

Edit-

I got this figured out I think.  Lotta dmf shit in my spam folder from, im guessing, the new email address.  Sooooo we'll see if it works now.

If you have your profile configured to turn on notifications when you post, it will do that. It will not notify you of your own posts.

Checking your profile...you have 188 pages of notifications. I'd unsubscribe to them all and then resubscribe to the ones that you still will post in...

or put the new admin addy in your safe list and see what happens.

Board notifications don't seem to be working.

I think something may be up again.

I'm not getting notifications for truckers monster build thread despite posting in it a couple times these last couple days.

I just clicked notify and nothing happened. Normally it asks to disable notifications but didn't this time.

I think there may be other threads. I'll pay more attention and post here if so.
Title: Re: Not recieving notifications of replies to topics!

That's because you are signed up for notifications on 2,835 threads...give or take, many of which you never bothered to read as they have new button next to them.

You're past your limit.

Clear those old ones and start again.
Title: Re: Not recieving notifications of replies to topics!
Post by: Monsterlover on June 03, 2014, 03:07:40 AM
