    e-mail notifications

    I no longer get notifications of posts to subscribed threads. My settings are correct, no changes have been made and I can't fix it. Been going on for quite a while. Anyone else have this happen?

      My PM email notifications started going to my spam folder about a year ago. Even added the forums email address as a contact and they still go there.

        Hi Nate,
        Same thing happened to me. Right after a Windows 7 update.

          No notifications for me, either. I wish it worked as I'm not able to keep up with the site lately.

          The option is go to Quick Links on the bar and click Subscribed Threads.

            My e-mail has also tagged the e-mails as spam in the past and I've needed to pull them out of the spam folder.

              Spam folder looks like a good explanation. I have no idea where it is! Never had to deal with it. (Eudora).
              There's a mailbox with a cryptic title and a bunch of cryptic stuff in it. That mailbox has somewhat recently just appeared.

                Remember that, depending on how you retrieve your email, you may need to go to the actual email website to add the ForumAdminXS11@hotmail.com address to your "Safe Senders List". The fact that it is a Hotmail address is one thing that adds to most email servers' chances of flagging these messages as SPAM. If you don't usually use a website to get your email, and instead use a client (like Outlook), adding the address in Outlook will do absolutely nothing to prevent the flagging.
