waltmail Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Call me dumb, but I can't seem to activate "instant e mail notification" for my thread starts. Any ideas if it is an option and how to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machiner 55 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Walt,I'd call you that but then I'd be a Liar.Try this...Once you've logged in, look at the upper RH corner where you'll find the words "Sign Out". Just to the left of that you will see your login name. In your case "waltmail". Click on "waltmail" and a drop down list will appear. At the top of the right hand list will be the words"My Settings". Click on "My Settings". That will take you to a page of options.On the left hand side of the page, there is a list starting with "Profile Settings". Second from the bottom of that list are the words "Notification Options". Click that. That will open a page that will give you every possible way to be, or not to be, notified of everything on the Forum.Hope this helps.John F. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Call me dumb, but I can't seem to activate "instant e mail notification" for my thread starts. Any ideas if it is an option and how to? Hey dumb, this is Dumber, I am not getting notification emails either and I have signed in and out, tried every type of "setting" as John F spoke of and still don't get them. Have posted for help in the forum software help and moderator section to no avail. Anybody else down here not getting email notifications. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltmail Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 I followed John's suggestion. Now it is time to wait and see. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Dumb, I sent you a pm to test to see if you got an email notification of having received a PM. Let us know.Best regardsDumber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machiner 55 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Just so you know...I haven't tried to change any settings anywhere on this new Forum including anything in the "Notifications" section.So, I don't know if selecting or deselecting any check-box changes anything or not.Frankly I'm afraid to change something for fear that it's not what I'd intended and won't be able to change back.Hopefully you guys and gals will get it all sorted out and we'll all learn something.Anyway, good luck.

Ronnie Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I think you guys might need to setup this page in your personal settings. However, there is a known problem with this forum software not working with Hotmail accounts. Maybe there are others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Ronnie, thanks. I've done that exercise several times. Not to say I'm not doing something wrong but danged if I can see it.... I have not received any emails since the change over. And I didn't make any changes until I tried fixing the problem. and I have checked my spam box...

Guest Corvanti Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 still nothing showing on my yahoo email - running Firefox - on threads i've responded to and new posts. i don't think it's "us" - it's the new Forum software that needs tinkering with... in the meantime, i suppose i'll check for the "Dark Star" when looking on this forum for responses.

Ronnie Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) The email notifications work with my Comcast email account just fime. I just tested it again to make sure it is still working. Below is a copy of what I received. You do have to click the "Follow this forum" or "Follow this topic" button in the upper right hand corner of the page to get the email notifications started. Are you guys doing that?

Guest Corvanti Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 got yours on my email Ronnie. Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I said in my last post "Also, I found that no notification emails are sent when I'm signed into the forum.". That was incorrect. The email I was expecting finally did come through after a delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 got yours on my email Ronnie. Thanks!!!What did you have to do to get it to start working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Corvanti Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 What did you have to do to get it to start working? i went in where John F. (Machiner) suggested and started clicking anything i could find that might help. one of check boxes somewhere wasn't clicked. ok, i just looked again, and it was in "Notification Preferences". i clicked on all the email boxes., since my e-mail address was still listed. the first row of check boxes, "Notification List" i think is for folks that have instant messenger services like msn messenger, skype, etc. hope that helps!
