I'm still not seeing subscribed emails from what has always been a reliable email address. Has anyone actually got emails as they'd expect?
Can you please check to make sure you are still subscribed threads and that there have been posts since you looked at them last.Quote:

Poundy I have changed your notifications from daily to instant to see if this makes a difference. elanjacobs I have left yours as it was - instant.
There are many thousands of email that go out from WWF daily, eg: subscribed threads, pm's, registrations, birthdays, contact us, admin notifications, reported posts and more.
If you have another server you can use it would be worth giving a try if the trusted list thing doesn't work.
If you are on Optus or Apple server I believe they were/are blocking emails from Woodwork Forums have a look at this post and the couple after it >CLICK ON ME< for a bit of info to do with this.
Hope some of this is of help.

Hi,
I did not get a birthday e mail from the woodwork forum for my recent birthday but I got one from the metalwork forum.
I do not know if this has anything to do with the foregoing.
Regards
Oh bummer.... Happy Birthday. :bdaysing: Hope it was a goodun for you. :bestwishes:
:cakerms:
Looking at changing the email server in the next week or so.
Yep, I'm still subscribed to threads (like this one) and no, didn't get the email of notifications either now or earlier. Hotmail.com account, been working reliably throughout all the other reports I've seen. Last email I got was actually 14th June. I can't even recall a message that was marked as spam before, and the links get a safe-link wrapper. But it just seems to me that they haven't hit the mail server. As part of this change you didn't move server IP address did you? I did note you have an SPF record with an IP address listed,"v=spf1 +a +mx +ip4:209.95.48.51 ~all"and that seems to match www's IP address, which looks right, assuming the emails originate from the www server and not a secondary one?
I just clicked on NEW POSTS and got a heap of threads from the metal work forum preceding the woodworking posts.
All my subs are still there and posts have been made, I added webmaster to my whitelist long ago when there was last a bout of no emails. I am still getting all the metalwork forum emails as normal. I'll try switching email addresses to gmail and see if that works.
EDIT: Turns out my gmail is already in use for another account. Not making another email just to get notifications from here :no:

Am not sure if this is this person's post or a new way of showing edited posts.... for example, look at
https://www.woodworkforums.com/f11/br...40#post2145983 and you'll see that there's two paragraphs of (almost?) identical text separated with what I am assuming is a forum-added separator line. Just alerting you to the fact, not judging if it's good/bad better/worse etc :)
And thanks for squizzing at email !

and hey presto, here it appears in my post !
I did a quick reply, hit "post quick reply", and then the web page re-posted and I got that phantom "you're leaving the page, think quick" message that has been reported a while ago. I chose "leave" and then this appeared
Edit: and could not repro that this time. The post happened and the ajax magic updated the page and my post without re-posting teh page
There was another lot of work done on MWF in the last day and those posts will be the RSS feeds from that forum.
They are here because MWF originated from these forums and some on here like to see what's going on over there plus they also draw new people to MWF as well as members from here who wish to join in.
No purpose would be had by having RSS feed from WWF to MWF as it would overwhelm that forum with inappropriate posts.
FWIW MWF is now a secure site on HTTPS instead of http our tests are now shoing that everything seems to be running correctly with members able to see all attachments etc.
This is what will happen on here some time in the very near future after a few hidden hard coded bits have been ironed out. Getting very close now.
Hope this sorts out the problems somewhat.
Cheers - Neil
PS for anyone who has posted and looks for the thread or their post in new posts it won't show up as you have already seen it because you posted it. That thread won't show up again until the next post is done after yours.
:doh:

Definitely not receiving emails... this is for the instant notifications and IM's.
I've checked my spam and archives. Just letting you know my experience.
Have been getting quite a few “Server is busy” notices as well

Hi there
This is a little late, we did see those and have fixed them.
There's still no change in email status for me
Recently sent PMs and replied to a PM message and they are not appearing in the sent messages box. I am receiving PMs in the Inbox but the Sent box is empty. This makes me unsure if the message has been sent until I receive a reply and I doubled up.
Is there an issue?
Please check
"Settings" at top
"General settings" down left
Sent Private Messages:
- Save a copy of sent messages in my Sent Items folder by default
- Don't save a copy of sent messages
Of course, for replying to an existing email the icon change is a better indicator, but for fresh messages the only way to be sure is memory, or changing the default option so you get a saved copy....

by the way, there is still no confirmation that anyone has seen an email sent by the system since the upgrade....
