1968 Email Notifications

[stangfan]

For some reason, I am no longer getting emails when new posts are put up. I checked my preferences and the appropriate boxes are ticked off.

You mean an email notification every time a new thread is made in a certain forum? Or an email when people reply to threads you're a part of?

Pretty sure I used to receive emails when a new post was made. Maybe I am incorrect on that. I did get an email about your reply, so maybe I am just confused.

To do that you'll need to "watch" each forum you want to get notification from. And the default is to give you "alerts" when you're on the forum. If you want email you'll need to check that box.

I just set you up to "watch" the main "GT/CS and HCS Forum" with email notifications. So see if you start getting those emails over the next day or so. If that's too much email you can always "unwatch". Let me know if you need me to do that.

Below are the steps you would use to "watch" a forum or sub-forum. Go into the forum you want to watch first, then follow these steps in order:

Thanks Jon.

It could be some things changed when the new forum software went live, although that's been more than a year now.

By default you will get emails when any thread you have been part of gets a reply. But you won't get emails about other forum activity unless you specifically ask for it.

I think you went into your settings and checked all the boxes to get email notifications, but you still need to specifically tell the forum what type of content you want notifications of. (hence the "watch" instructions above)

Thanks again!
