Hey all, a couple days ago I stopped getting emails of replies to topics I've participated in.
Is this a problem on my end, or a forum issue?
Thanks!
Bob

I just went to the user "UserCP" up there in the top right corners drop down menu under my username. When I got to the CP( command Post) page I went to the left side of the page & chose "Subscriptions" , Then I went over to the right side of the page on the Subscriptions page & clicked on "Selected Threads" button & chose "Instantly though Email".

I hope that helps out. I am new here, but I tried to type how I did it. I am going to subscribe to this one for a while & see how it works. Hopefully I got the method right & helped anyway.
:)

G'luck!

JB

P.S> - When I just subscribed to this topic, the page I went to had a drop down menu under "Notifications". I selected "Notify by email" choice there also. Something to remember when ya decide to subscribe to a topic anyway. :) Once again.... G'Luck!

As we chase the filestorage.com bug around the site we will be temporarily disabling then re-enabling some site features. Hang tight!

I don't like or use this feature on other sites that have it & also never understood why folks got so upset over the unread posts glitch a while back as I never use it either. if ya can't remember where yer posts are you've got bigger problems to my eye.

Well... It's more about having a conversation with somebody and replying in a timely matter.
To add to that, I've got multiple interests other than just melting lead, so to backtrack all of my conversations across multiple forums, topics, subtopics and conversations, it's just easier for my proverbial phone to ring instead of going to look for it.

Sounds like things are in the works, so I'll not worry about it and see how things go.
Thanks all for the replies!
Bob

Just curious if there is an update to this. Haven't got an email in over a month.
Thanks!

It has been working for me, at least on most topics that I have subscribed to before. I have not paid attention to which ones though, as I come here & check a couple times a day anyway through the UserCP link up above.

I just now subscribed to this topic & I will post if I receive an email to any further replies.

Try unsubscribing the resubscribing. The system is up and running well at the moment but glitches happen sometimes.

That's weird, I wasn't given an option to "un"subscribe, only to subscribe, like I was never subscribed to begin with.
I checked my forum settings, and all of the threads I've posted in are showing as "instant" notification.
Just for grins, I did select them all and checked "updated subscription type" to "instant" for all of them.
Thanks fellas!

Hi Bob, please go to your "user CP" located in the drop down under your name. In that area you should see a couple of boxes : "new private messages", "subscribed threads with new post", and "subscribed forums" (if you have any). In the lower right hand corner of the "subscribed threads with new post" box you should see a button labeled "view all subscribed threads". Choose that button, once the screen changes you should see all threads you are subscribed. To the right of each thread is a check box to select notification - do you have any blocks checked?

In the CP panel window I mentioned earlier please open this thread then subscribe again through the thread tools. When the box opens asking what type of notification you wish to receive choose one of the notification options then let me know which option you have chose.

Thanks for the help!!!

I've checked my spam folder and it's not in there.

Ok, No._1,
None of my boxes are checked. They never have been. Multiple times, I've "selected all threads" (there happens to be 104 of them), and then chose "instantly, using email". Then clicked "Go".
But I still don't get emails. When I first joined here, I got emails perfectly like I should. But one day they stopped. I made no changed to my preferences on this forum and/or att-Yahoo email setting.
I also don't get emails for PMs.
I do get emails from all of the other forums I'm on.


Here's a screenshot, just in case it's helpful.

Bob and Soundguy,

Your e-mails addy's are with AT&T which may have been blocking e-mails from us. Willy has contacted them to straighten this out. He indicates it could take 2-3 days for things to pan out. Let me know what happens ok?

Not sure what happened there as Willy was the last one in there. If it is OK with you I would like to ask him about it before I change it back.

Off topic... but speaking of your name, I'm curious to the meaning of it.
In some circles I might be considered an audiophile and home theater buff.
Wondered if that has anything to do with your name.

Concerts, stage, sound and lights, entertainment venues, live sound, etc.

Opera tonight, got a classic rock band tomorrow ;)

Ahhh nice.
At my local small venues, I choose to sit behind "the sound guy".
Not only do I get a "50 yard line" view of the concert, but I get to watch the person in control of the sliders.
Good stuff.
