Popcorn Sutton Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I checked my profile settings and everything is OK there, but I haven't been getting e-mails lately when people reply to my topics and topics that I've posted in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Looks like the scheduled task system (which automatically sends out these emails regularly) crashed a while ago. I just repaired it and it should catch up shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acme Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Why do you need notifying? You virtually live here. True dat. More to the point, who needs that 'feature' anyway? It's no more efficient -arguably less- to check your e-mail as opposed to check the site. The less efficient being if you do have an e-mail notice and want to reply you end up here anyway and have essentially wasted a little bit of your precious life checking for notification that you need to waste a bit more life some place else. Just one more gizmo and doodad forum writers throw on to make their product look better to buyers. Doesn't matter if it doesn't work either because after all by the time that becomes apparent you already have made the sale. Now if you'll excuse me I have to check my e-mail to see if notification is working to see if anyone replied to this notification problem yet. Five steps closer to death.

I've killed all notification facilities on my pc and check manually When I'm ready ...they can rule your routine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Oh, I just realized what's going on. Sorry about that; that screwed up all registrations over the past day or two as well. Short version: we moved our email over to a new server (which the forums will move to soon), and IPB was trying to send email through the old server. I had to prod it a bit to get it to send email through the right system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
