To update my status, today was the first day in the last month that I received all my daily subscriptions. I always received all instant subscriptions and some daily subscriptions, but not all of them. I made no changes to cause this.

As there were no spamtraps received past the 26th, I requested removal myself which has been done so it's now working again for me, I am receiving FT emails.

Why are some E-Mail notifications from sender "FlyerTalk" and some from "FlyerTalk Forums"? Both mixed within minutes.

(Setting up filters.)

I've posted elsewhere - with the same lack of feedback - to report that my e-mail notifications are generally arriving so late that they're simply a nuisance.

I'm a Comcast subscriber and have no doubt that it's possible Comcast is creating the problem but the e-mail notifications are generally worse than useless for me.

Email alerts are a sitewide issue that we've been tracking for quite a while. I wish I had news, but we do not know exactly why some emails get delayed or prevented from arriving. We do know that FT is generating them, on time.

Thanks for the response. FWIW some are now coming through almost immediately and others up to two days late.

I changed my email address today and suddenly I'm receiving notifications of new PMs and responses to threads I'm subscribed to, even though my settings are set to no email notifications. Any ideas on how to turn them off?

Assuming you've tried MyFlyerTalk, Edit Options, Messaging & Notification, Default Thread Subscription Mode = No email notification...

Out of curiosity, without posting your address, what email host did you change from and to, if they were different (i.e. yahoo to gmail)?

I checked and it was set to No email notifications. However, I went in again and clicked on "Save" without changing anything and I haven't received any further notifications of responses to subscribed to threads. So, maybe that's all I needed to do, but it was strange since the only thing I did was change the email address. I am continuing to receive notifications of PMs, however, that's not an issue since there are few of them, relatively.

I changed from hotmail to me.com.

OK, as long as it's working right for you now.

Maybe just a glitch where switching email addresses causes that notifications setting to flip, without telling you.

Paul

Thanks for the rapid response. :)

I get a small fraction of notifications for threads I am subscribed to. No idea why. Really stinks. Might move over to that "other" forum for this reason alone (though Wiki posts might keep me here, if they ever roll that out for all forums... FT moves slower than a Fortune 500 company innovates...)

Yes, I still get notifications of about 10% of the threads I'm subscribed to. I don't want any, but it's not enough to bother me.

Where are all those instant email notifications?
 

This little tech issue can be annoying: I post something in, say, this thread. I set it to get email updates. I see an email come to me indicating there has been an initial response/first poster. But then, nothin. Nada. No more.

I come back in here to find that like 15 people since replied.

This has been happening to me on nearly every thread I am on lately. Old and new--ones I have started and ones I have joined. I know there can be a delay to see replies via email and I know Yahoo mail (which I have) can stink but something seems different and no, nothing is in the spam folder. I just dont get FT updates.

Is it a FT thing?
An email thing? (Should I like set my FT emails to go to gmail and if I still must use yahoo, simply forward my gmail to yahoo?) or is there something else going on?

Thanks

:) mm

Are you logging on to FT after first response, or in your example, only after the 15th one has happened?

That makes a difference, as at the end of the subscription email it says "There may be other replies also, but you will not receive any more notifications until you visit the forum again."
