I am seeing new posts in threads that indicate I am subscribed, but I am not getting email notificaitions.

I am not a new member and nothing has changed at my end

Is there a problem with the subscription service? Is there something I should check (I have double checked my profile settings and the subscription status of the threads I am trying to watch)

Thanks for any help or attention you can give

Well poop ;(

I thought that the spam filters were going to be the answer.

I went directly to the Comcast mail tool and took a look. There are no emails from the forum in my screened mail folder (that's where comcast usually puts mail it thinks is spam)

I have tried the option in comcast to disable spam filters (and am assuming this will solve it), but could use help with a reply to this thread to verify).

Thanks for the help so far

I have comcast for my ISP

I went to their mail tools and disabled spam filtering and also checked the screened messages folder. There is no idication whatsoever that any email was sent from anandtech.

It is disappointing that help is not available for our problem. I have no solution in mind.

I have tried the comcast mail client (from work and from home)to ensure it was not something in my PC that is filtering (I use outlook).

I suspect a cookie issue, but with no help from the people who run this place... I guess I am just screwed. At least the PM notifications seem to be working.

Thanks for answering Homerboy

Like I said, I had the EXACT same issue before and it seems to have reared its head again. The old issue I had was that the Anandtech servers did not have a valid PTR record listed and thus RR server (and maybe comcasts now too?) started to block the emails. Jason Clark the AT forums sys admin if I recall had to step and resolve the problem. All was fine for a few months until jsut recently.

Regardless, we are screwed until we hear something from a mod.

One thing I noticed in the thread notification message is that you MUST go to the thread once you have been alerted to new messages before a new notification will be sent.

Homerboy,

I don't know if you are watching this thread or not, they locked the one where you asked if mine was working yet....

Not that I know of. I'm using PM notifications for now to give them a chance to fix this (If they can... assuming they are going to try)

This thread will probably be locked soon, but it's OK.

I (always looking for the silver lining :) ) think it must be their way of letting us know they are aware of our concern.

Not that a posted acknowledgement wouldn't be much more gratifying ;)

I think it's their way of telling you they don't need 56 topics on the same subject.
You might also read the disclaimer at the top of this forum.

Cheers :beer:

I have no idea. I didn't do anything at my end to get it going.

???

Do you know something I don't?

From the look of this thread, the mods had nothing to do with it.

But they're swell anyway :p
