Trouble with notification of new posts?

Chris, what you say may be true for some, but my ISP is not my e-mail provider. In my case I have received e-mail notifications for well over a year at my yahoo business account and suddenly it no longer worked.

Now *that* is very strange. Thanks for pointing this out... could be an important clue.

Jeff, good to know, misery loves company. Could be a broader problem with the forum software itself (vBulletin). We'll try a forum software update first -- the process usually doesn't require much downtime; usually it's less than an hour. One way or the other, we'll get this resolved -- thanks for hanging in there fellows,

Chris? Do you think this is "linked" to me NOT getting the "New Posts" Button to work?

I am getting Forum notifications through to my email.

Grazie

Chris Hurd · November 18th, 2008, 11:04 PM

Grazie, to be honest I have no idea what's going on. But then I don't even remember breakfast.

Can y'all please clear cookies and test drive it now, as we've just updated the forum software...

Keep your fingers crossed,

Chris Medico · November 19th, 2008, 07:30 AM

No change here. The return email is still an invalid address. (chris@hardy2)

Chris Hurd · November 19th, 2008, 08:06 AM

Thanks Chris, that's helpful -- we're still chipping away at it,

Chris, I've done that, and still no notifications at all.
By the way, I got 3 notifications a few days ago, but that's all.

Looks like you've got it fixed. The email is now the same as it was.

Everyone should be able to get notifications again.

Good job Chris H.!

Ervin Farkas · November 19th, 2008, 08:37 PM

After almost a month, I got two notifications today at 7PM.

Thanks Chris! Is it safe to switch back to "instant notification"?

It took us a while to find a celestial virgin to sacrifice. Texas, you know...

Chris Hurd · November 19th, 2008, 09:55 PM

Thanks a bunch for sussing this thing out, Jenn... I was beginning to lose some hair...

Jeff Harper · November 20th, 2008, 02:32 AM

Still nothing for me.

Hmmm... I thought this place was politics and religion free... I suppose it's fine if the young girl was *digital*, hehehe...

It has been definitely a good time for me... by far my most popular post.

Chris Hurd · November 20th, 2008, 06:57 AM

Who says it's a girl... heh heh heh.

Anyone still not getting notices, besides Jeff H.?
