No email alerts to thread updates

steeljack · 26-02-2009, 22:33

anyone else noticed they haven't been getting 'email alerts' when a thread they have joined is updated ? is it a problem at "my end" or a change to Accy web , other emails seem to get thru ok
thanks

nothing in the spam box either

If you go onto your profile on the left hand side "Settings And Options" there is a box in there to say whether you want notification. Check it is set properly

not sure what you are going on about , maybe if you respond to hundreds of threads you will get hundreds of replies .

the way Accy web was working for me ...was ...( read slowly and don't move your lips) if I replied to a thread, I would get an email notification if there was a reply ( there could be 20 other replies behind that one, but would only get one notification, i.e. overnight hours/different time zones) Why would someone want/have to trawl through all the "new posts" to find the one thread in you had a particular interest in , that can be done later .

hope this makes sense to someone
thanks

Well theres an easy way to test, somebody reply to this thread now I've turned on notifications.

BERNADETTE · 27-02-2009, 12:41

Ok testing for Steeljack

steeljack · 27-02-2009, 17:03

Good morning (8 hour time difference here ) nope, no overnight notifications of any additions to any thread I have joined , and scrolling thru the new posts there are several postings .
thanks

Strangely enough, I have just changed my I.P. & my alerts have started working, I switched them off years ago. Well I'm off to my profile to get rid of them again, I don't need telling twice I've made a fool of myself.

Less · 27-02-2009, 18:03

I've tried but still get notification, can't wait until BT cancel that email addy, start afresh with the virgin.

It's working for me, but seems to be playing games for you and Less. I'm off out in a moment but will have a look when I'm home (or possibly tomorrow if its late!)

jaysay · 28-02-2009, 15:36

emamum · 28-02-2009, 17:07

i turned mine off ages ago, i reply to a lot of threads and it got really annoying!
