I used to receive new posts to threads I subscribe to via email. I no longer do so. Was this feature deleted?

I got a thread notification email just yesterday for the SYW Starbucks thread. These problems often have to do with with spam filtering at your ISP or some such. I'm not sure how to help other than seeing if you can turn of spam filtering at the ISP level.

Testing, testing... calling Tokyo, come in Tokyo...

Fail, no email notification.

Let me move the thread to Tech Help form, and if no one answers I'll mention it in the moderator coffee lounge.

I got that notification! Working!

And of course when I select User CP, I see this thread listed at the top, under New Subscribed Threads

Ally, I just got a notification for your reply, too, so the mechanism is working. Can't explain why it's not working for you.

Can you click on Thread Tools above and subscribe to this thread, please?

OK, I just got an email notification for your post... (just happened to look at the right moment :))

Do you get a notification for this post?

No surprise that I got another notification for your post above this. So the mechanism is working. Just not for you, obviously.

When you select User CP, do you see a notification sitting above your reputation comments?

e.g.

New Subscribed Threads: (1)
Thread / Thread Starter
Email notifications for subscribed threads not working?

And -- obvious check -- does your AW profile have your correct email address? I can't check this, member email info is hidden/anonymous.

No. I just turned the feature off completely.

We evidently have different ideas of what "fixed it" means, but OK, as long as you're happy. :)

I'm not. But if it isn't going to work I may as well not have it on at all. No matter what i do it didn't work! So I guess I am giving up for the time being. No use getting myself mad over this.

On a side note, it does not really mmatter what the heck it is set at. It isn't going to work anyway
