I can't recall seeing posts in those sub-forums though, so that might just be because there was no update to give you?Quote:

Poundy,
I look at my Settings page, which shows my subscribed forums and the last post to each. It tells me I should have received at least 3 other updates due to posts yesterday.

No I haven’t received anything, still get emails for PMs.Quote:

That's right, you are only supposed to get updates for forums you haven't looked at.Quote:

Steven,
I have now tried 6 email addresses through 3 email providers, and am only receiving daily updates for 3 of my subscribed forums.
I can only reasonably conclude that for some reason the other 5 are not being sent. We don't know the extent of this problem, since few members reach this thread. But since at least some members are receiving theirs, my suspicion is that some part of the subscription service has broken down.
Is there any way of checking to see if my missing updates were in fact sent?
Chris

thanks
please see post 35
no updates today
It remains the case that I have not received updates from the following subscribed threads:
Woodwork Tools & Machinery last received 14/6/2019
Swap or Free last received 21/2/2019
Triton/GMC last received 14/6/2019
Furniture, Joinery Cabinetmaking last received 15/6/2019
I do receive updates from 5 other subscribed threads.
No explanation has been forthcoming.
ok so the difference is that those are actually forums not threads. Perhaps the team can see if the logic or method of triggering those is different between a thread and a forum?
I may have used incorrect terminology. The ones I do get regularly are
Bandsaws
Wanted & wanted to buy
For sale on ebay etc
Plus Member's transport but that is only infrequent because of few postings.
I get all threads when I post to them, plus PM's.
I take it that after many months there is still no explanation as to why I receive daily updates for 5 or 6 sub-forums, but not for others that I am subscribed to?
See post 89 above.
Why don;t you just check those forum when you log in, problem solved, bigger things to worry about than your personal notifications at the moment
Throughout the lengthy period that I have been missing daily updates (see earlier posts above) for most of my subscribed forums, I have been regularly receiving three. Now they appear to have stopped:
Wanted and Wanted to Buy - last date 3 July
For sale on ebay etc - last date 25 June
Bandsaws - last date 3 July.
Have there been any system changes that might have inadvertently caused this?
My ISP denies any blocking, and since iinet is a major supplier any blocking by them would presumably affect lots of members.

Thank you for the thoughtful reply.
I got my first daily update today since 3 july, (but only for one forum). Did something change in the system?
Been a ship load of shifting and changing in the back room. But not sure what in the last day or so.
Don't get too carried away Chris. It could all go back to the way it was for you, without any notice. :dunno:
Just had a look and nothing has changed in the last month that would effect the updates.
Maybe it's just a lucky one that squeezed through your service providers security.
Nothing we're doing over the weekend will have an impact on email. Will be in touch @Chrism3 the blacklist issue you're having is a bit odd, i'd still like to get to the bottom of it.
My service provider is iinet - not exactly a loner.
I've also used them for 10 or 12 years, I think Neil also does They're a pretty rock solid ISP. The forum email is sent via Amazon SES, most days 96-97% is delivered which is quite good for a site this size. I'm hoping to get a chance to look into this again on sunday arvo.Quote:

Well time passes and I still have no explanation as to why I regularly receive 3 daily updates for sub-forums that I am subscribed to , but not others since about June last year. Could it be that there is a volume limit placed on the more popular subscriptions?
