Go to MyFlyerTalk, then click "List Subscriptions" in the control panel on the left. Check the notification type in the list. It may be set to "no email notification." If it is, check the box at the top right of the list, to check all the individual subscriptions, and change the notification type via the "Selected Threads" pull-down menu at the lower right of the list. If you don't want the same type of notification for all your subscribed threads, check them individually or in groups and do the same.
A second possible culprit is that FT has an old e-mail address for you and it doesn't work any more. Go to "Edit Email & Password" in the control panel to check that.
If the notification type is already set to something else, you're sure there have been posts in at least some of your subscribed threads, and your e-mail address is correct, please post here again. Someone will think of more possible reasons.

I deleted 4 threads and am down to two threads, and changed it to daily notification...we'll see if that works!
Thanks, Efrem, for you suggestions, I truly appreciate it!
Anyone else wanna offer anything up?

Your problem might be with the @yahoo.com email address you're using. Gmail really upped the bar with its spam protection and other email services have been trying to play catch-up for a while. One of the things they have been doing is aggressively blocking auto-generated emails-- like the ones that this forum sends. Gmail's approach is to let everything in and then intelligently filter them into your spam box. Yahoo (and others) approach has been to completely deny emails coming from server blocks known to send large volumes of auto-generated emails. We have had problems with Yahoo in the past, along with Verizon and SBCGlobal. We are obviously at risk because of the number of large forum sites that we own and operate.
I will inform our network people that we are having another problem with Yahoo and they will investigate it. Hopefully, they will be able to make some progress on the issue.
From the tests that I've done, the mail queue is otherwise working properly.

I'm not getting them and I've rechecked my settings. I notice that I lost one subscribed thread (Travel Buzz) at some point as well.
