Not getting email notifications

As above, I don't seem to be getting the usual emails when a thread gets updated. To start with I thought I'd forgotten to subscribe but I've been more careful since and still not working Any ideas?

Cheers,

Pete

Hmm, looking at my subscriptions list the ones I recently added aren't in the list, could it be that I've filled the list up and it won't add any more?

i've already mentioned this under the thread subscriptions.


I've deleted loads of old threads and still no joy. Seems favourites doesn't work as well.


Can someone give Chris a prod ?

I bet your firewall is blocking them--assuming you're behind a firewall...

Nope not firewall! None of the threads I have subscribed to in the last week have appeared in my subscription list

Yeah I haven't changed any of my firewall settings and they've just stopped. Plus, my emails get sent to my hotmail account, and my firewall has no access to that...

I got no emails for days, then I got four emails relating to just one thread, but none relating to the many other threads I subscribed to that saw recent action.

I haven't had anything for days, it's making it very difficult to remember what threads I've subscribed to!

I'm having the same problem.... Maybe it was a small site upgrade that has broken the feature? Is anyone still receiving notifications?

Problem's still here for me to.
I find it quite a pest - I use favorites to note all threads of interest - then I can pay attention whilst they are active.
I also use favorites to note any thread that I have contributed to, so that I can see if anyone has replied

Same problem here - it seems to have happened in the last week. Is there a maximum number of subscribed threads or something?

Chris obviously has not been on here as the date is stil wrong too apparently. Maybe someone aught to drop him a line or give him a call.

This has gone on long enough. I don't enjoy Locost Builders as much any more, but I'm afraid of missing something!
It was much easier when I received email notifications.
I bet the advertisers and sponsors aren't too well pleased with the state of the site.
Anyone with some web space fancy starting a new forum and setting it up properly with all the esential bells and whistles?

This is why I posted a thread named "Chris, where art thou?".

Summary: Chris is very busy with his fledgling ISP business and hasn't had time to check into the issues outstanding on this site. Ned passed a message saying Chris would try to catch up soon.

This has been annoying me for a while too.

I notice this host is running MySQL 4.0.20 which whilst not new, certainly isn't as proven/stable as 3.x was/is. Perhaps this was upgraded too recently and is what kicked off the subscriptions/favourites bug.

I'm guessing there's not much Chris can do about it if MySQL is the issue, unless he can change host or [up][down] grade the MySQL install. The other option is to find the dodgy query(s) and change it/them.

Bit of a bummer though

I'm tipping the problem is Chris. He hasn't been around for ages.

I'm not getting emails either and it's a PITA!

Also, couldn't access the site for a few days due to a routing issue

If there is enough demand I have the resources to setup an alternative forum.
