Sooooo..... please excuese my layzniness- but I've come to love the email notifications, and I've become too forgetful to remember what threads I've been following.... I'm only getting some notifications! Even my own recent thread "Not what I expected" I've noticed posts being made, and i'm not getting an email most of the time. This has been happening in many other threads I've noticed too. I'm bummed! I've checked into my "manage bookmarks" and ALL of them say notify to email, and most of them arent!  Just wondering if this is happening elsewhere. I liked being lazy.... now I've got to remember things....   |

bookmarks? you mean bookmarks in IE/ Firefox/ whatever browser you're using? or is there a cool bookmarks feature on this board that I don't know about?
sorry I can't help about the notifications, I don't use that feature.

yup, there is a bookmarks feature on the boards ;D at the bottom of each thread, is a little button that says 'bookmark'. basically, you get an email notification if someone makes a new reply to the thread (i'm guessing  )  sorry i don't know how to help you Ritz (i'm a complete idiot with computers lol) |

I love the notify option.... and then you view your profile, then view your bookmarks, and click "manage bookmarks" and then you can chose to have 'no' notify, or a PM notifly, or an email one.... i like the email ones. but lately they've been hit and miss.... it scuks...

I don't know why the notification won't arive in your mail box. Don't they arive in the spam box of Yahoo? Likely not, because you do recieve some. Sorry, but I don't know the reason of this. Someone else also having trouble?

I don't have email notifications, but I do have several bookmarks on threads and I've noticed that I'm not always getting notified about updates on those.

Hmm, I will see if I can find out what the problem is. Will be continued!

I think I figured it out! I'll bookmark a thread, and then get a notice, then post on it, and then I never get a notice again, because it removes my bookmark.... or at least that's what's been going on with my thread "Look what I've just done..." Hum.... EDIT: I was RIGHT! I bookmarked this before I posted, and then after, my book mark was gone- it just said "bookmark".... but now in the 'modify' window, it's not giving me the option to bookmark it.... What ever, I guess! |

Neat-o. Learn something new every day.
Ok, let's test this...
---------------------
EDIT:
So, the problem is that when you reply to a post, it automatically erases your bookmark.
I guess we'll just have to remember to re-bookmark on posts that we want to have bookmarked... unless it's like a master setting that can be changed.

This is what has been said on Proboards Support:
The email will only send once per vist. i.e. if their is a reply since they last visited the topic, it will send an email. However, if they are viewing the updated topic when not logged in, it will not reset this. Could that be the case?

Nope. totally different. If I post, then it deletes my bookmark almost every time. Sometimes it doesn't. Like, I got the notify this time, but not last time. I never get a notify if I make a post on the thread- that part is ok, but even when Pep just made that last comment, I got NO notify, but this time I did.

Personally I do get my notification and experience no problems. It is normal that you don't get a notify for each post, just one until you visit again. But you're saying you don't get any.
And when you reply, is that the box (below in reply) checked? (Bookmark: Check this box if you wish to bookmark this thread.) If it is not checked, than the bookmark would be deleted.

Yup! I don't get any! And it's about 50/50 if I do get a notify or if I don't. And yes, the bookmark box will be checked when I send it- it was last time, and I did not get a notify. It's weird! Oh, and kind of off topic, I was at a friend's house 2 days ago, and it would NOT let me log in! I even clicked on "forgot password" and had it emailed to me, and it would still NOT let me log in.... maybe the forum just doesn't like me! lol So, technology isn't always teh best thing in the world, is it? ;D |
