    Sometime early this morning I stopped getting emails of new posts to threads I am watching. Is anyone having this problem? I would assume not since I was no able to see any new thread about it (or I'm just blind and missed it) but I did not change/update any preferences here or in my email to account for the change.

    It is perhaps something related to the recent update mentioned in a previous thread here?

    Just wondering...

    That happens to me a lot. If the thread is really active I'll get 4 or 5 notifications then nothing until I look at the thread, and than I'll see it actually has 15 new posts. Once I clear those it'll start sending notifications again. I'm betting it's a setting so as not to spam people when they're watching a particularly busy thread.

    Looks like your finger might have slipped and clicked the Spam button this morning, which automatically shuts off the forum's ability to deliver email to you. Unfortunately, it's not something we can reverse.

    Great, fat finger syndrome and premature eclickulation bite me the rear end yet again :(
    It's nice to know (not really) that hitting the spam button overrides the safe sender list in hotmail, you'd think there would be some type of prompt that pop up for that.

    Thanks for looking into that, I appreciate it. I tried creating a rule in email setting to see if it will get them back to my inbox, we'll see... I doubt it.

    I love all the technology that will make our lives so much easier :banghead:

    Thank you everyone for responding.

    No. He's talking about subscribing to a thread.

    I believe when you do that, the site sends an email to the address you gave when you signed up every time someone posts to that thread.
     
    pattyj Thanks this.

    yes, that was what I meant, sorry if I wasn't clear. Creating an email rule didn't solve the problem, so I'm chatting with support half way around the world... I should have paid attention in school when I was failing typing class, it would make things much easier.

    What do you need typing class for? Just use the hunt-and-peck method like everybody else. :laughing6:

    No kidding! It's amazing how much we have come to depend on the computer. I have to ask myself, how the hell did anybody get anything done BEFORE we all had PCs or Macs or whatever.
    Particularly you wonder that when something goes wrong with your computer.

    Yes, that is a toggle on/off in settings.

    I was gonna say something about the huntin' pecker, but decided not to.....:D
     
    KillingTime and Suspect Zero Thank this.

    This is a test, this is only a test.... had this been an actual post you would have been informed of some totally useless crap that made sense only to me.

    We now return you to your regularly scheduled lurking...
