Not getting email notifications & All folders of PM messages gone

[chopsaw]

Working . Thanks

Working here too. Although I prefer the old school settings with notification per post but a few other forums have this too and slowly getting used to it.

Yes , I agree , the e mail will say that a reply was made , may be more .
So I just got 3 e mail notifications . One for this thread . I have read the last post . So the next time a post is added I should get an e mail .
So someone , bump this .

If I get one email notification or have 100 I delete them all without reading them except for one and click the View This Thread button to take me to SMF to read this one. Now I'm on SMF so I go to my watched forums and read all them and my Alert count also drops. When all watched forums are read I go to the Alerts which are remaining unread watched threads. Done! All my watched priority stuff is read and now I can go to recents or pick a forum to read etc. To me the email notification can be a short message saying you have one or more unread messages and you only get one email notification. You need to go to SMF to read them there anyway to mark as read so I don't need to read each message twice as an email notification and on SMF.

To reiterate or in case someone is not aware..

It is my understanding that on this platform (Xenforo) you will only get a single notification per watched thread even if there are multiple replies.

Once you visit the thread again, you will once again get a single notification if one or more members reply.

Also, check spam filters to make sure the notifications are not going there.

I have been having issues with receiving notifications as well but now, they are working properly since yesterday evening.

There has not been much discussion on watched forums. When I find a forum I want to watch and select it I want notifications by email and alerts which can both be selected but you can either select it for New Threads or Messages but not both. If I watch something, it's priority and I want to be notified on new threads and messages (everything.) If I select Messages vs. New threads will that include new threads?

I have my watched forums set up for New threads. So when the watched forum is highlighted in brown there is at least one unread message in that forum that could be 1. a new thread I was notified on by alert and email. 2. a new message that isn't one of my watched threads or new thread so no email or alert notification. 3. It's a watched thread in a watched forum so I got the alert and email notification because of the watch thread designation. I'll have messages in that forum that I wasn't notified on because of #2

Give it a test and add a forum to your watched forums and let me know what you selected for notifications and the type of notification to get alerted and email notified on everything.

Sounds exactly like my ritual each time I get on here.

New forum continues to be surprising why all of a sudden today I have email notices again.

Snow is that what that stuff is Bear I thought that was power sunshine. :rolleyes:

Got your bump

No email notifications again last few days but the alerts are shown on site.

 

[wimpy69]

My notifications are now showing up in spam folder.

 

[HalfSmoked]

Same here sent PM to Jeff and he said it's my computer problem. Had it a while back it stopped and about 2 weeks ago it started again. Have been finding SMF in spam file.

Mine aren't going to spam. I'm just not getting notifications. I added the [email protected] address notifications come in on to my contacts when the platform changed.

 

[remsr]

Yah this new system leaves much to be desired. I use to be real active because every day there were new posts from new and old members now there is next to nothing. So I kind of gave up.

Randy,

 

[jokensmoken]

I agree with Randy.
I was here every day because every time those I followed posted or replied I'd get a nitification...now my notifications only come on specific threads ive chosen to follow and not specific members, forums or categories.
Like I used to get notifications when a new member posted in roll call and I could welcome them to the group...no longer do I get those notifications.
Group connectivity seemed much better with the old platform.

Yah it seem like it was designed to discourage participation. I know I sure haven’t much desire anymore.

Hi everyone, I wanted to address a few issues here.

First, on Huddler (the old platform) notifications were being sent for every single event, which is not how Xenforo (the current platform) works. Every time you log back into SMF, it will send you one new email notification per new event. If you wish to check a "live notifications" that's what this area is for: https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/account/alerts but you must be logged onto the site to see Alerts.

Second, each email we send you from SMF is evaluated by our email provider, if we send you too many emails, they will mark our domain as excessive or spammy. We have options in which we can crank up the frequency, but keep in mind, there's no controls like on Huddler where you get to adjust your preferences. For us, we're trying to be mindful that not everyone wants to get high frequency of emails and for those of us who do want more emails, there's no nozzle that you directly access at your preference) for us to adjust how much.

We certainly want everyone to be informed of what's happening on SMF. Your thoughts, feedback is appreciated and will be considered.

Under watched threads you can comment on a thread then you automatically have it added to your watched threads list that way or add it by selecting watch this thread. You can go under watched forums and add a forum to watch and select messages vs. New threads when you add a watched forum and get all posts in that forum to notify you.

I'm still not getting email notifications except one over the last few days. What happened?

 

[Bearcarver]

I must just be lucky.
I get about 10 to 15 alerts emailed to me twice a day.
I'm comfortable with that.
