Subscriptions to threads

If subscribed to a thread, should we get notification by email that a post has been made ? I dont get any emails - I just search the threads i posted in or started to see if there are any replies. I have all subscriptions listed in settings to get ' instant ' notifications

Perhaps it's going into your spam or junk email folder - have you checked there?

Also, if you use more than 1 email address, check your other addresses for the notifications (I had that happen before! :))

Thanks guys - only one email address and thats the one i registered with. Nothing in spam box. I didnt even know yourself and James had replied till i logged in and physically looked at this thread

I checked my subbed threads and all are ticked for Instant Notify - but.... I've just seen an extra action ( drop down box ) for instant email. So i i have checked that, and see what happens - Cheers for the help !

Nope ! Nothing - should have had 2 emails, since 2 of you have responded, but still nothing.

I guess the Subs Thread action is as stoned as the Search function :cool::cool:

I have subscribed to a few threads and only get emails like the next day. It's not like instant messaging I would guess. It doesn't bother me too much as I've set my preferences to go straight to threads that I haven't read or are new so I can pick what I want to follow.

Okay, dumb question here. When you updated your subscription preferences, did you click on the "GO" button at the bottom of the box?

If you don't click that button, nothing changes.

Just a thought.

yeah i ticked that little GO box - every thread in my Subs list is on Instant. But i wouldnt mind if it took a day to notify me. I just dont get any at all

Maybe i should set my prefs as Marcel does. It still means i wont know if i have replies or posts till i log on. I'd log on sooner if knew there were new posts in my Subs thread

Hrm, I found this in the logs:

SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<your e-mail>:
host gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com [173.194.66.27]:
550-5.1.1 The email account that you tried to reach does not exist. Please try
550-5.1.1 double-checking the recipient's email address for typos or
550-5.1.1 unnecessary spaces. Learn more at
550 5.1.1 'This Gmail user does not exist...' - Gmail Help

Double check your e-mail address and change as necessary.

Actually, the e-mail confirmation is turned off. I forgot for a min that I turned it off. No problem :)
