Hello Ryan and admins,

I am still not receiving any subscribed forum notification emails. I DO get emails when subscribed threads have new posts, but the emails I used to get showing new Forum activity have never returned after the server upgrade.

I have confirmed that I am still subscribed to all of the forums in question.
I have unsubscribed, and then re-subscribed to all of the forums - no change.
I have logged out, flushed the cache, and logged back in several times, to no avail.

Last night, in desperation, I burned Mark Zuckerberg in effigy while reciting the software licensing agreement to Windows 95.
No dice.

I am posting a new thread about this problem to see if there are any updates.

Thanks again for all of your efforts.

Another question, after I click on New Posts, the previous read threads disappear, which makes sense. They used to just show in a different color.

Is there a setting to get that feature back?

Try to unsubscribe then start a fresh with a new subscription. Also check how you have your subscription set.

OK, done. I unsubscribed from all forums, logged out, cleared all cookies, logged back in and re-subscribed. Emails are to be sent daily.

Let's see what happens; usually would receive the emails shortly after 9PM PDT, so we'll see in a little over an hour if it works.

I'll keep you posted on the results.

I don't think so. Ryan didn't seem to interested when I was trying to explain it to him. after all it's his board. 'I have started using "todays posts" if I want to re read a read post .

Worth a try for a start. Otherwise it could be in how you have the notifications set.

I have one last suggestion. If you have WiFi re boot it. If that is not the issue we will will have to ask Admin - Ryan and see if he can advise. It will improve once we move to the new format.

Done. I power cycled the router, no change.

Give my best regards to Ryan. :beer:

I'm still trying to figure out what's going on... In the meantime, I've reset your subscriptions... Let me know if you start to get the emails.

I have no idea why it would suddenly start working. We are still trying to figure out what’s broken! Strange.

For what it is worth, I am experiencing a very similar issue lately. I have all my subscriptions set for weekly notification. Only one recent subscribed thread sends the weekly updates now. I have tried un-subscribing and re-subscribing to several threads, but still no notifications to those threads. If there is anything that I can do to help troubleshoot the issue, please let me know.

Hell no... I'm now trying to hire someone to fix it while I continue to work on the redesign and move to xenforo.

Sometimes 'taint no fun being the Boss:eyecrazy:
Just FYI I subscribed when I posted earlier and I have received a notification, which wasn't happening before, so I shall unsubscribe from some of my other threads then resubscribe and see what happens.
I will report back here if there is a positive result.

There is no need to unsubscribe from the old threads/posts, they should work fine once the email issue is resolved on the server.

Due to the server misconfig, some of the emails appear to be non-deliverable due to the emails going out from the wrong server, those wont ever be delivered.

Ken and Seagoon,
I am getting extra notifications at this point and would be happy to share a few. :D
Ryan, thanks for sorting this stuff out in the meantime.

Unfortunately, still no forum notification emails as of this morning.

To be clear, I am (and always have been) receiving notifications for subscribed threads...it's just the forum notifications that went away.

As always, thanks again Ryan for all of your efforts. :beer:

You're subscribed to over 1400 threads alone & from what i seen, every forum on the board, so im not sure how you would differentiate from them?

Simple.

Even though I am subscribed to over 1400 threads, most of those have died a peaceful death. In reality I receive thread notifications from only about 15 or so active threads at any given time. Thread notifications arrive AS SOON AS a thread has a new response, i.e. anytime throughout the day.

Forum notifications, on the other hand, only arrive once a day, right at 9PM PST, and are always grouped together. For some reason, all of the forums I belong to (including GJ) send out their daily forum notifications at 9PM, so if I haven't received any forum activity notices by then I know they are not working (for whatever reason).

PS I may be subscribed to all of them right now; I believe I did that in an effort to determine if the problem was with one forum or all of them. I'll correct that.

I hope that answers your question...
