Topic update emails failing

Post by **foggyjames** » 17 Jan 2006 01:13 am

Howdy folks. In the last couple of weeks I've noticed a significant reduction in the number of thread update notifications I'm getting through. It's probably down to about 1/2 of the threads I contribute to. I've not got anything from 'the family' for a LONG time now, but apart from that, this is a new problem. Any thoughts (especially if Aymat is around!)?

cheers

has this only started happening since the moderators covered all the forums instead of just there own ? it seems pretty random , sometimes I get 8/10 emails regarding new posts other days I dont get any

It probably started more recently than that Mick.

When you press "watch this topic for replies" at the bottom, it subscribes you to it and sends you an e-mail if anybody else posts.

I think you can also set it to send update emails for the whole forum too. EDIT: you can't but you can set it to update you for any topics you've posted in.

Guess what - I haven't been getting update messages in this thread now. Typical...
