Re: Email notification not working
Fwiw, it was only down for about 12 hours for me. I usually never go more than 15 minutes without at least one notification. Perhaps it was a yahoo glitch.

Re: Email notification not working
I was starting to wonder if I was the only one getting email delays. I have been having the problem for over a week now. Initially I was getting emails about 8 to 10 hours after a post. Now it seems the emails are getting slower and fewer.

I got one for this. Haven't had an issue. Sure you didn't accidentally hit cancel all on that link in an email?

But I don't think I did. Subscribed threads still show on my user CP page.

Trevor, I checked your account and the category "Automatic Thread Subscription Mode" is set to Instant email notification. I would check your spam. One of my emails is a yahoo account and yahoo likes to throw some notifications into spam randomly sometimes. I tell it not spam and it's ok for a while, but then it changes it's mind again.

i don't think the iOS mail client has a 'not spam' button. I'll have to turn on my PC for a change.

I'm not getting emails for most of my subscriptions now. Just recently started happening. They're all "Instant", and they aren't being sent to my spam folder. Worked like a champ a a week ago.

Also, if you are using yahoo or AOL they will sometimes block out emails...

Re: Email notification not working
You have been sent test emails. Do you have them?
Keep in mind there are about 100 places between our mail server and your eyes where email can slow or disappear, and it's not always going to be possible to find out why.
I recommend you switch to a gmail address and see what happens.
