email notification of PMs
 

I am no longer getting email notifications of private messages sent to me. My preferences are OK with that function checked. I have not made any changes to my email.
Any thoughts?

Thanks

Everyone hates you ? :-)

Re: email notification of PMs
 

I love you too Charley https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif
I'm still getting PMs but I don't know they're there until I log onto the site....

Re: email notification of PMs
 

Do you have a spam/junk mail box in your email account?

Re: email notification of PMs
 

Yes I do Rob. I just checked it and they aren't there.

Re: email notification of PMs
 

Just coming out of a similar problem.
Apparently I couldn't log on here,or more importantly receive any email notifications from sYc with a temp password...Maybe the computer wasn't ommiting "removemefirst" from my email?
I notice most everyone on here has an email formatted like RedL78@_removemefirst_juno.com
Where as mine is being displayed as smooshed together [email protected]
Could that be why?

Thank's to Charley & Rob who bypassed it.

Verne,

I would think that Rob is on the right track as far as why you aren't getting the notifications that you used to get Verne. I would think it would have something to do with your SPAM email account. Have you updated/upgraded your email account lately...or has your internet provider done this?

You can also try and restore the defaults in your internet property settings (Right click on internet explorer and choose properties)...or as a last resort (if it bugs you that badly...) you can restore your computer to an earlier time frame where you weren't having this problem (not recommenrded https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif ).

Good luck! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: email notification of PMs
 

Bruce,
I'd rather not revert to an older setting since Explorer automatically downloads updates to solve problems. I did check my McAfee spam settings and they're set to place anything that seems like spam into my Inbox with a (Spam) prefix. The only ones that don't get through at all are ones where I've blocked senders.

Don't knock yourself out on this one Rob. I'm usually on the site every day anyway (when I'm home). It was convenient however to have an email pop through when I received a PM. That way I could reply more promptly, which I think is a benefit to the sender.

Re: email notification of PMs
 

OK, forgive an old man but are we talking about e-mails or PMs? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Are you saying you receive an e-mail at your home account when you have a PM here? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif I get the pop-up notice about PMs here (NOT the damned horn that stopped my heart the first time! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif ), but only if I'm logged on.

Re: email notification of PMs
 

Yes you get a email.....

Hey Cumby. Go to "My Home" and click on the 3rd edit down, then you'll see this choice

Do you want email notifications when you receive private messages?
No Yes

I don't know if someone pressed the magic button or not, but it's working again. I can feel the love........ https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Re: email notification of PMs
 

Dennis, you got that horn thing too? I changed my to a whistle, unless there is more than one PM, then it's the sound of an angry mob. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

I am still getting emails for PM's so maybe it's just your settings Verne. What,if anything, has changed recently? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

woops, just saw it's fixed, I'm in my own time zone, everyone else GET OUT !! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

Out of no where and changing nothing I am now also no longer getting email notifications. It has always worked before and I have changed nothing...... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif Just starting acting up over the weekend and I was not even on line.

Re: email notification of PMs
 

MAybe something to do will all of the scammers signing up? Maybe they have manipulated the email system somehow?

Re: email notification of PMs
 

Rick,
The only thing I did was open my McAfee and page through my settings and click "OK" again. I really don't think that fixed my problem, but it couldn't hurt to try.
Remember, we are all merely "permitted users" of our computers; they are all really controlled by others.... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

That's why I have all my REALLY important stuff on an old Mac which is not connected to the internet. Safe and secure from Bill Gates, IBM and other hackers.

Well, it's doing it again. No email notification of PMs. I recently "upgraded" to Explorer 8. BTW, every "upgrade" only presents more problems.

Verne: do you still have the "visual" notification when you visit the forum (the flashing envelope next to your login name) as well as the "audio" notification (the car honk)?

Re: email notification of PMs
 

Yep, I still have the flashing envelope but never had the audio. Haven't had a pm since your last test. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif
