Problems with email notification

I've had some problems with email notification since yesterday. Either I don't get any mail or they arrive long after a new post has appeared in a subscribed thread. For example, the HDRAGC thread in the Avisynth usage forum got a new post earlier today but I haven't received any email yet.

I am having quite the opposite problem. My 'Default Thread Subscription Mode' is set to 'No email notification', but I have been getting emails for every reply in thread I that I have subscribed to. :rolleyes:

I had the same problem as Boulder yesterday... It seems to fixed now though, as I received all of yesterdays (and todays) e-mail notifications today. Cheers

I think I may have spoken too soon! I'm not receiving any e-mail notices again :(

I've been getting them all right, things have worked fine since a lump of notification emails arrived yesterday.

I have not received any e-mails today either! I'm still getting them from the other forums I'm registered to. And nothing is being dumped in my MSN junk folder (the very thought). Cheers

I have an easy solution for all that: let's stop the spamming server in its track. I see some people here that visit every day anyway so email notification is really of no use.

Email notification allows for more lively discussion. With it, you know immediately when somebody answered, and you can answer back. Without, you will wait your daily visit to answer all the threads you've joined in. Imho, that's not as good, because you have to take care of all the threads ( lest you forget one ), which takes time. Moreover, somebody will most likely already have answered, or deviated the subject, which makes it more difficult to read. Imho, email notification is a major feature of the forum ( I'd say it comes in third, after the search and the highlighting of not up-to-date threads )

I completely missed the RSS feature. So that makes my previous post completely bogus I guess :p

The anti-SPAMing software has become more of a problem than SPAM ever was. I'd much rather just delete mail I don't like than not get something I wanted... I just wonder how long it will be before they start filtering on political content?
