email notifications...

Is anybody else having issues with the email notifications to threads posted on alltrac.net? Maybe I'm misunderstanding the rules that apply. I assumed that:

If I start a new thread, or post in an already existing thread, I will receive an email when somebody else posts in that thread after me (and provided I'm not logged in viewing that thread). Basically, after my posting, I am automatically subscribed to that thread.

Until I return to alltrac.net to view that thread, I will receive no additional notifications that point forward. But, once I've returned and left, I would expect the same notifications rules above to apply.

Is this right? My email notifications are so sporadic - most of the time it seems I don't receive any at all.

Thanks.

Mine work just fine.

They only work on threads you "subscribe to". You're own posts in a subscribed thread don't count in the notification process.

Perhaps it's your e-mail provider?

Well, that one worked - :)

How about threads I post in that I didn't initiate? Maybe that's what it is....do I need to explicitly subscribe to these? I see the "Notify me when a reply is posted" at the base of my reply window...I'd assume this is all I need.

I'm using gmail - maybe I'm going out of my mind.

:twisted:

You must click "Watch this topic for replies" in order for it to work.

After you click that... it should be all set?

That's the ticket!

Hey Towels, where in Maine are you from? I grew up in Damariscotta - was just up there a couple of weeks ago for the 4th.
