Email Notification Failure

It been a while since I received a email from the Email Notification Option. I'm registry to a few thread (The Custom-Title Thread in Addict) and I didn't get email notification when thread went back to life. :(

I turn the option to this thread to double-check.

Boo! So, did you get the email?

I do know that sometimes, when I receive notifications for private messages, that it ends up in my ISPs SPAM filter.

No Email :( I don't have a spam filter.. Either my ISP...

I'm not sure what's going on here. SDK - have you received any notifications today? I've been meddling with the code, and after I made changes I actually received 2 emails about (what I think was) one new post.

However, I've been receiving notifications all along, so maybe now I get 2 and you get one?

I didn't get the email. I know that my mailserver was down on entire week-end a while ago, and since that time, I never received email from AO. Does AO have a feature that when a email cannot be deliver to a address, all futur email are not send at all?

Nope, no feature like that. I'd like to hear from other people whether they are/aren't receiving email notifications. That will help me establish whether it's related to the system or to your settings.

for me, at least.

I have had problems with message tracking on PM's about AntiPoints though, see here. Could the two be related?

Can you make the system send me a test email or send me a manual email?

I've been recieving two copies of the email notifications...and im not quite sure why.

I havent recieved any emails for over a week. but this could be due to the fact i havent subscribed to new threads (or no-one replied). but will let you know if anything changed :)

I'm using gmail and every thing is working fine. Except for getting two (2) emails about the same post today.

I'm also getting 2 emails per notification since yesterday.

yea, same here... system is doing funny things... i also got 2 notifications....


CTO

Yep 2 at a time for me also...

I get notifications although I've turned off the e-mail notification feature in the Site Options panel...

Allow Bulletin Board Administrators and Moderators To Send You Email Notices? = Yes
Use 'Email Notification' by default? = No
Send you an email when you receive a Private Message = Yes
Pop up a box when you receive a Private Message? = Yes
Pop up a box when your Private Message Box is full? = Yes

so the ones who recieve notifications recieve two emails? and the ones who dont want any notice (tim_axe) are getting one :p

think the mods need to have a quick look

Ok, I reversed some changes I had made while trying to address this problem, so the duplicate emails should stop now.

If you have email notification enabled, it just checks the email notification box by default in the full reply page (no email notification option with the quick reply box).

If you use the quick-reply box, you won't get notifications regardless of your profile setting for email notification, unless you have manually subscribed to the thread.

Does that clear things up at all?

Are you telling me that when someone post a quick reply to a thread and I'm subscribe, I don't get the notification?

Here's a test for you SDK, this is a quick reply.

Cheers:

Since after your post Mnstrgrl.

Are you sure you backed out the changes? Not that I should doubt you! ;)

Are posting times based on GMT or the users local time? If local that might explain things.

Still nothing. :(

Use 'Email Notification' by default?
Using this option emails you whenever someone replies to a thread that you have participated in. no

I still get e-mail notification of things I subscribed in - with this at no, I shouldn't get the e-mails right? I usually just check the "site subscriptions" for what I've subscribed to, I don't check my e-mail that often. Any clarification would help. Thanks.

BTW, I got an e-mail about this thread... ;)

Another Test for the Fun of it!

No, if you're subscribed, you will get the notification. What I'm saying is that if you use the full reply form, the option to subscribe to the thread is included in the form. That option isn't present in the quick reply form.

Tim_axe -- if you have email notification on by default, that means the subscribe option in the full reply form will be pre-selected. If you uncheck the option, you shouldn't get the notifications. I believe if you use the quick reply form, you won't be subscribed, but I'll have to check on that to be sure.

I think I found out why... Test!

More Test! :)

Ok.. I manage to found my error. The email that I use to sign to AO was no longer good. I chance email and I got the message... Stupid me! :(
