You all know if we are watching a topic it comes through our email right? Well mine doesn't anymore, any ideas as to what is wrong? Thanks

I noticed mine wasn't either, but then I posted a reply and made sure I checked watch this topic for replies, since then I have been getting them, I dont know if your going to have to check it each and every time, It's seems to me it use to do it automatically when you commented on a post?

Mine has never worked right. I will start a topic and I won't get an automatic "watch post"until I've posted AGAIN. So, when I start a post, Iahve to go look for it on site to see if there have been responses. If I just respond to an ongoing post, this doesn't happen -weird!

Check about 'bugs' in the system. It might be just that. It is hit or miss with mine. Some I get some I don't....

I have always been hit or miss about getting the notifications. I also find it strange that sometimes the notifications go straight to my inbox and other times they go to my junk mail file. Odd little thing going on there.

I've been complaining about this in other threads -- some I've been watching for quite some time which had a lot of activity lately but no notifications! icon_cry.gif I don't know what the story is. Has anyone approached Heath or Jackie on this?

Is it possible that it has something to do with your email carrier? I am subscribed under a hotmail.com address and get notifications on EVERY single topic I've ever posted in or selected watch topic, even from back in November lol.

Perhaps. It's worth getting an idea on who has what and what works the best and see if there is a pattern.

I use a yahoo addy for my notifications.

Yahoo likes to spam everything!!!!!!! I had very important stuff going there from someone in my address book and it was spamming it... I'd suggest getting a free hotmail address or using your inet provider if that's possible... hotmail is a great place icon_wink.gif I have two different accounts one for personal and one for business. icon_smile.gif
