Here's why the EMAIL NOTZ are not always sent out.

It's a new way of doing things in this new version. Please read on.
Email notifications are not sent to yourself, as you would know you have posted. If you subscribe to a topic then email notifications are sent for the first time someone replies going on the last date of your last visit to the forum, another post notification for that topic will not be sent again till after you have re-visited the forum.

To test to see if post notification is working you need two accounts. With the first subscribe to a topic and then logout the forum. Then with the second account login to the forum and post a reply to the topic the first account is subscribe to.

The report post feature will send a report to moderators and admins, but not to yourself, again as there is no point in reporting a post to yourself.

If you still don't get email notifications check with your mail server admin what requirements are needed to send emails to remote mailboxes as you may need to use authentication settings.


Please comments, but think and take a deep breathe before posting, it may be a wise solution ? Share your toughts, constructive please.
Prog On !

Sometimes these "loading..." placeholders appear because the page attempted to load content from the server and failed, in which case sometimes the spinner (loading message) remains.

Yep, I've seen it too. Is it auto-refreshing?

I took your advice Wink

Cool! I guess the reason that you leave the feature there - apart from not alienating those who got used to it - is that it helps getting new topics to be scanned by search engines fast?Big smile

I guess it's to limit the notifications sent, some members are not even active and were sent out notz.

Sounds interesting for this, but ... i'll wait comments from active members.
