Hey All,
Just over the last couple of days, a number of threads that I've subscribed to with a 'instant automatic email' option when the thread has been updated hasn't been working and I haven't got any emails. Just curious if anyone else is having any of these problems....or whether it is just me :B It does seem sporadic - sometimes I get some emails, other times nothing.
Cheers,
WILL

thanks for the info Steven. It's probably just me then :B haha. Though I'm sure I've got multiple notifications for some threads when I still haven't visited the website? Again, probably just me not taking much notice.

I'm experiencing the same problem now that you mention it. Used to work, now not.
hi there
Goto your usercp and then to the List subscriptions link. This page will show a list of your subscriptions and and notification type. they should be instant, daily or weekly.
regards
yeah mine are all set to instant. No worries on this end, it seems to be going ok now, but yeah, was a little sporadic for a couple of days.
Cheers,

I noticed the default thread subscription was set to: do not subscribe.
I've updated it to instant subscription.
Mine is set to instant email (manually)
As I never subscribe to threads but use the "New Post" search and rely on my memory of interesting threads I've had to reset it to Do not subscribe.:~ :UQuote:

Edit: Ok, I've just checked mine and found it was set to Instant, so I had to change it back to Do Not,otherwise my box would get flooded :doh:
i used to get a list of all the threads i had posted in in my usercp and only set it to instant email notiforvcation if i wanted to know sompthing quickyl but now i get emails all the time for every thread it is getting really anoying.
i am getting 10 or so emails every few ours cloging my inbox. i dotn want to tell it every ime not to send me emails. can i change it?
Yeah I don't reckon this is the way to go as generally everyone would want to control their subscriptions based on threads they are interested in.Quote:

Have asked Admin to change it back to Do Not Subscribe, in the meantime you can change it via your User CP via the Edit Options then scroll down to Default Thread Subscription Mode and select the option that you want from the dropdown box.Quote:

About half way down the page you will see an options called Default Thread Subscription Mode. The option you select here will always be your default setting.
