E-Mail Notifications

Woody

I get the daily e-mail notifications on all the thread I post too except the For Sale and Parts Wanted section. I do get them from the Parting Out section.

Is there something I need to change on my settings?

Thanks

Dan

LOL!

Forget it.

Nobody responds is why I do not get notified. It seems I am the last poster in the thread on many of them.

 

[woody]

hehehe.... now THAT was an easy fix!!

 

[ArmyFJ]

I am not getting them...but for real. I have to go and check in my User CP.

Thanks for the help.

I did not get any notifications yesterday or today.

 

[ArmyFJ]

I doubt we are the only ones. But I am wondering if its has something to do with the number of subscriptions we have...I am at about 88...you?

I did not get an e-mail notification this morning as well.


Using the Quick Links and selecting subscribed threads I'm at 5,476.

But I am wondering if its has something to do with the number of subscriptions we have...I am at about 88...you?

Yeah, so probably not that then. What email program are you using? I am using hotmail. But I don't see it in my junk and I have added woody@ih8mud.com to my addresses.

I'm using earthlink and then directs it to my outlook after SPAM has been.

I have alway received them before. Woody is in my list of contacts.

 

[ArmyFJ]

I guess it must be with their server then...oh well.

 

[woody]

add the general domain "ih8mud.com" to the list of approvals....not just the email addy

couple others have mentioned notification issues tho...need to do some more testing on it and see if I can duplicate it...

 

[ArmyFJ]

I just added it will wait for a test. My email is matthew_r_kelley@hotmail.com if you want test it directly or I can just wait for a notification.

I just subscribed to an active Chat thread and received two instant notifications on new posts...it's working fine for me....

can't test the daily one tho, since I'm online too much....lol

OK here's the thing: If you are subscribed to a boat load of threads, or if you are subscribed to TUT or some other retarded thread that gets millions of notifications per hour, your mail provider will freak out and go "Hey, this server (ih8mud) is sending my subscriber a TON of email! We'll fix them up really good." and then they add ih8mud's server to a list of email servers that are only allowed to send mails at limited rate. The result? You end up with emails that are late or never come.

I'll work with Woody to get your email addresses and check the logs for deferred mail. That is the telltale right there.

Then again I could be completely wrong and you guys are using yahoo and hotmail or aol or netzero or something and you deserve it.

 

[ArmyFJ]

Wow thats so mean....deserves got nothing to do with it.

Yes I have hotmail. This just happened two days ago.

 

[woody]

hotmail has changed all their stuff to live.com....perhaps thats part of the issue?

 

[woody]

Then again I could be completely wrong and you guys are using yahoo and hotmail or aol or netzero or something and you deserve it.

that's actually quite funny.....since rykoala uses gmail and the number of spammers on the forum with gmail addresses is just as popular as any other free service - lol

Yahoo has not given me issues, and I use my YM account on a few forums for "stealth" purposes....

 

[ArmyFJ]

Not sure. I still get emails from other sources to my account with hotmail.com. I will try changing my email address. In the user CP and see what happens.

[woody]

I just registered for a hotmail account and changed a test username in the forum to that account

the activation codes did NOT come thru, even after adding @ih8mud.com to the approved email listing

I'll check later today, in case they are delayed....but suspect I'll just need to remove ALL hotmail accounts from the forum options....no point in getting 100's of emails from folks who can't register....

Yahoo works....gmail works....

 

[woody]

FYI: I just submitted Feedback to Hotmail on the issue...with LOTS of luck they'll respond

....but I'm not holding my breath....
