Anyone else not getting e-mail updates?

I'm experiencing the same thing as Pete--still nothing getting through, and I checked the spam folder. I am also with Earthlink. It would be interesting to see if anyone else who has this problem is or isn't with Earthlink...?

I have them turned off by default, but I've been receiving messages for all the threads I've subscribed to.

Just checked -- still not getting any notifications even with spam and virus checking turned off. So, I've turned them back on.

Maybe Charles is onto something. If no one with a earthlink address is getting notifications, then it could be some kind of problem between the dvinfo.net mail server and the earthlink servers.

Strange though, I've never had this problem with any other forum.

I just got an email notification to a thread that hasn't been posted to in months. It said Michael Sinclair posted a reply but he actually did not.

So, for the hell of it I looked up the last post Mike did make, and it was in this thread, to which I am not subscribed...

I just thought this might be related issue to others' problems. Email notifications haven't been a problem for me, but I do usually get them kind of late. My ISP is AOL.

How do you even turn email notification on by default? I've never seen that option in the CP. I have to click the option every time I post.

I do not get any notifications annymore, even though i have the box checked. I use Tiscali.

Chris, Ken, DVInfo.net team,

THANKS! I'm now receiving email notifications. Your efforts to make this work are much appreciated!

Having notifications is sooo much more efficient -- I can easily and quickly respond.

Best Regards,
Pete

We had to get the jumper cables out and hot-wire this 'ol heap.

If yer still having trouble, just say so.

I'm receiving them again.

Thanks guys.
