Email notifications

[68fastback]

Seems email notifications aren't working?

I only had two individual thread subscriptions but no e-mails received for new posts since yesterday.

So I now turned it on in my profile so it will generate a subscription whenever I post in any new thread. Possibly that will work. Good test in any event.

This place is starting to look pretty awesome!

Keep me posted on this. I'll try and remember to check into this tomorrow. I'm done for the night.

[68fastback]

I added about a half-dozen more explicit email subscriptions last night in addition to having set my profile default to automatic (for threads posted in), but no notifications in my email today.

Snoop, when you signed me up did you provide my email address in the registration process or could that have been bypassed? That would do it.

Anyone else have email notifications turned on and getting them?

i dont want/need any notifications....on here to often to need them....

I know people who might be able to arrange that.

I'm getting them. Did you add your email to your profile? And make sure they are turned on in your settings?

not a bad idea...but arrangements have already been made...thx

I hadn't added it myself -- I assumed it was required when TG signed me up, but dunno. I just processed an email address 'update' (since you can't see the present one), so let's see if that works. At least if you're getting them then we know the facility is working. ...thanks Joker. I'll let you know if that does the trick.

Cool. Let me know if you still have issues Dan and I'll look into for you.

That did it -- they're working. Thanks, Joker! :tiphat2:

The email from field shows as "Forums" so that default V-bulletin field should likely be edited to something like "StangsUnited Forums." TS shows "Team Shelby" and SM shows "Stang Mafia Forums" Hopefully that's easy to change?

I'm still not getting email notifications. I think I have everything turned on. Can someone give me a step by step to double check my settings?

I looked in your profile & in the areas referring to e-mail notifications, you have 'Instant email notification' selected for all of them.

Looks like you're going to have to go above my paygrade to TG.

Alan, try this: in the upper right corner of this page click "settings." Then on that page in the left hand column under MY PROFILE click "edit profile." On that page, click "email & password" (top gray box), then enter you password (but don't change it below) and enter your email address in the two boxes (as if you're updating it). Then "save changes" at lower right.

Given what JD said about your settings, if you do that it should work (took overnight for me to start getting notifications). The notification will be under the sender name: "Forums" (until it's updated to StangsUnited Forums or such). See if that does it -- worked for me.

One other thing: when you click the link to here in your emails (once you get them) you'll get a Windows "message from webpage" warning that the address of this webpage is in a non-standard format so use caution might have a virus, etc. Not to worry. I suspect that message will go away when the address is finally changed from "...67.222.8.137/~stangsun/..." to "...Stangsunited.com/..." when we go live.

Joker/CobraDrifter: is my supposition in last sentence above correct?

[Joker]

Check your spam filter. All of mine were in my spam filer until I changed the spam settings.

Welcome Dan. right now it's the default message. It will get changed soon.

Yes. Right now it's a weird address because the forums aren't really open for business and it's the only way to keep it that way for the time being.

Joker, you rock!! I'm sure everyone appreciates all your help as much as I do ...cheers...

I'm not sure how to do that. If your talking about the spam folder in my email, its empty. FYI I don't have any problem getting email notifications from Team Shelby or Stang Mafia.

Niether do I, but with this address not being a name and mostely numbers the spam filter gets it. Which provider are you with for your email? It's set in your profile right?

[ati]

Comcast

[Joker]

Comcast

Have you gone to www.comcast.net , logged in there and checked the online spam filter? That's where all of my spam was and I had to mark it as not spam.

[68fastback]

Alan, when you start getting notifications (it took overnight for me after setting email address per post #21) they will wind up in your email 'spam' folder initially. If you select them all and then click "not spam" (not sure how Comcast will show it) they should go to your inbox in the future. Of course this assumes you start getting the notifications -lol. Did you try updating your email address per post #21?

PM sent for test of email system.

[68fastback]

I had mine set to "instant" too before I 'updated' my email addy but for some reason it took overnight before the notifications started ...that was this morning ...now they come in whenever. Hopefully they'll work for you tomorrow. If not the crack team here will figure it out! ;-)

Got the PM but no email notice

I replied. The one you sent me was in my spam filter on comcast.net. It's the way the address is set up right now and comcast. I just added forums as a contact and emptied my spam filter by marking them as not spam. I'll find out if that stops them from putting it in the spam filter now.

Nothing in the spam filter or email. Maybe it will reset itself over night like 68fastback. I'm going to bed now. Good Night all

Yep. Let me know if you still have problems.

I'm getting notifications now but their all in the spam folder. I mark them as not spam but all the new emails still go right to the spam folder.
Any Suggestions???

You need to set the spam filter to allow the address. It's pretty easy. Just add a new filter and make sure the address is included.

I found out that by just clicking "not spam" doesn't slove the problem. that just puts them back in the inbox. New messages are still spam unless you use the filter and add them.

I must be stupid, I can't figure this :censored: spam filter out.
Can somebody using Comcast email give me a step by step on how to reset it so the email notifications come through??

So Here I am answering my own post.
FYI I talked to tec support at Comcast and they told me to add the sender [email protected] to my address book and now the email notifications go to my in-box.

See that wasn't hard now was it...hehe
