Does this forum send email notifications?

@amityweb:

P.S. Dont you hate it when forums by default do NOT subscribe you to forums you posted in? Had to enable this in settings.

No; I subscribe via RSS, and prefer to not get a lot of mail. So, I'm OK with the default.

Yes but you can turn it off if you dont want email. I find it quote bad I cant turn it on even! Have to keep checking back to my own posts, and I would not want RSS of all posts, nor individual topics I subscribe to. I dont check my RSS often anyway, too busy!

It sends email notifications when I subscribe, check your spam.

So it does do it then… Yeah have checked my spam, nothing. I use Gmail for all my mail, noting in there. Strange.

I use gmail too, try poking linode support.

they recommend I try a different email, hence me posting this. I wonder if I get a notification of my own post. :?:

Sorry if this is going to annoy anyone but this is me, I want to see if I get an email

Not yet!

What about now?

Nope

..

Uh oh.. me neither! Thats 3 different emails, a Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail. Something must be up.

Linode responded with this
> I contacted our system administrators about this issue and they have indicated that our forums are correctly sending emails at this time. I would recommend reviewing your mail filters again and placing emails from linode.com on your whitelist.

So this is completely bizarre why 3 of my email accounts would not receive email notifications. Am I missing an obvious setting somewhere in my profile settings!?

I just subscribed try posting I'll see if I get it I know I've had emails come through from the forum before

Well I just got spammed I think something got fixed.

Found something that was gumming up the works when it came to e-mail notifications. I addressed it (when the large number of emails rolled in), and it shouldn't be an issue moving forward. As it should have been, you'll now receive your e-mails in a timely fashion.

Sorry about that! :D

You might need to be patient!

No joke, I just got a forum reply notification for a post…last activity was a month ago. Not sure what happened there, but it just suddenly appeared in my inbox today.

So, wait a month, let us know if you've got one by then :D

EDIT: I can't read all the way to the bottom of a thread apparently, please disregard my attempt at witty humor :) :roll:

Support replied and said they fixed it and I had all my previous notifications too, so YAY! Its working for me now. I did wonder if if it happened to everyone else and all of a sudden everyone will get loads of notifications!
