All of your subscriptions are set to "Daily" notification instead of instant.
I would recommend you change them to instant or weekly.

Did they just stop, or did you just notice that they had stopped? According to tech, we have not sent out daily notifications since 2012.

Your subscriptions were set to daily notifications (you have 3000+ of them) which is the issue. Tech re-set them to instant notification, which means as soon as someone posts in there you will get a notification (but ONLY 1, until you check the thread). Let me know if this solves it.

If there is now a system limit on subscriptions, please let me know the number and I will cull through the older ones and remove the subscription to certain threads.

I can imagine that many 10+ year active members have that and more. Nevertheless, still nothing. By the way, changing all the threads to instant notification would blow up my phone, if it worked, so I'd appreciate it if you could have tech reset them the way it was before.

It's possible that your internet provider is denying them as spam.
Did you also check your gmail spam folder?

Had you visited the thread since your last notification? I find that I will no longer get a notification until I visit the thread after a previous notification. The system will not send you a notification every time a post occurs until you visit the thread (it is a kind of reset).

1. What type of notification do you have set for that thread?
2. Wharvey is right, if you have it set to "instant" you will only get 1 notification, regardless of how many posts were made there since you last checked.
3. Have you recently changed your email address on FT?
4. Best to use gmail and avoid AOL or yahoo, which sometimes block FT emails.

Old thread....
Ive always had instant notification to all subscribed threads...worked fine.
However I went on a month vacation and decided to stop notifications...so I went into control panel (my flyer tak) and from the ntofiication pull down selected "no email notification"
this had no effect- still getting instant emails to the 1300 threads Im subscribed to.
HOWEVER. is this the wrong setting??? Does this setting only control NEW subscriptions?
Should I instead go to the subscription page, select all, and change them all to 'no notification'???
Sorry if I missed this above....
