Well, I'm getting email notifications once more, if that helps you guys to diagnose whether it's correctly fixx0rated or not yet. :D

Last couple of days I've not been getting an e-mail about Private Messages... no big deal as I log in most days, but it is nice to know.

Ditto. I was waiting for a certain someone to contact me in a thread, and he replied to me personally - but I only found out when I logged in. As for Merman, I log in three or four times a day so it's not a problem, but not a dickie-bird in my email box.

Not only have I not received any email notifications lately, but all my thread subscriptions are gone. Plus I don't even see the "subscribe to thread" link at the top of any thread.

Did I miss something?

Yeah, same here.

It's been happening since, a few days back, the forums logged me out and I had to log back in again (on my home machine, I just stay permanently logged in and, thus, whenever I'm made to log back in again like that, this usually signals that something's been changed or has gone a bit funny somewhere).

I see the same symptoms that you do - not only a lack of email notifications but the "subscribe / unsubscribe topic" options on the threads have disappeared.

As if the feature has been turned off altogether. It hasn't been accidentally knocked off, has it?

It's all off for now as it's suspected that this feature has something to do with the recent down time.

I'll be able to have a proper look at this next weekend to see if I can fix it :)

The email notifications seem to have stopped again.

I'm seeing replies on threads I'm subscribed to, but I'm not getting any notifications of this. I tried the old "unsubscribe / re-subscribe" on a few of the threads, but that's not doing anything.

Has anything been altered recently?

This time I didn't notice.

I've turned them off (for me, not the site!). They were making me visit the site too often!

Okay, email notifications have resumed in the normal fashion and all appears well in the Kingdom once more. Thanks for sorting it. :D

Did no-one see my last post that I made about a month back?

The email notifications stopped in November, Misfit fixed them and they were back. Then they stopped once again on about the 5th December and they've still not returned since.

Is it some kind of phpBB default to turn them off?

Because every time there's a change or update, the bloody things seem to stop working again.

Yeah I saw it but I'm not sure what I can do.

The email account used to send mails is a google one and if there's a load of traffic it just stops sending them for a bit.

It's not my email account and I didn't set it up. I'm kind of loath to set up a mail server on the LS hosting and send it from the LS domain as it's a pain in the arse to do :D

Maybe no-one got an e-mail notification of the new post...
