Email notification

Just would like to note, "Notify me on new private messages" and "Notify me upon replies by default" seem to have stopped working. This has been since a few days ago, when the game and forum went offline for about half an hour.

My guess would be that the email server being used to forward the emails has gone offline.

Checked them already, tried changing them then changing back. And didn't get a email reply to this one either.

What're you checking his emails for him or something? Making sure he's getting his CatFacts weekly newsletters?

Re: Email notification

the email server is often a bit wonky.

It used to be fairly consistent up until the other day.

Re: Email notification

over the years, it has been wonky more than a few times... but yes, most of the time it behaves nicely...

Re: Email notification

Last one I received was from 11- hours ago; I have since not received a PM (which is odd, I usually get about 60 per day), but the system seems to work. Maybe just not for you, Haz. Did you check your Spam folder? :P

*checks junk email folder* how the **Filtered** did they get in here?

Not sure why it is suddenly placing all the notifications in junk email now :/ fail on me for not checking it.

I suppose this can be closed now >_> thanks Juliette lol.

well, if the email,
or the email server's header details changed even slightly,
to say, oh, fix the problem from a few days ago,

that could have A) triggered your personal email filters to stop delivering it to the proper folder,
or B) somehow triggered your email service's spam alert settings. :smt056

More likely to just randomly dump mails into spam is Gmail, as part of the incredibly poorly managed and completely cut off from their customers Google consortium. :)

Could be true for all I know, I just posted that because that (and other things...) happened to me with Hotmail.

I've never had trouble with those just with the email that's given by my IPS few years ago. I've lost all my email when changed abos.
