E-mail Notifications ???

Post by BuckSkin »

I am new to this site and some aspects of it are quite different to sites that I am familiar with, so maybe I may not have everything as it should be in my user-CP.

As far as I can comprehend, I should have everything set such that, whenever someone posts in a thread that I have created, then I should receive an email notifying me of that.(hopefully an instant email)

As it is, I am only getting an email maybe one time in ten.

I check my email and there will be no site notifications; I go immediately to the site and there may be a dozen responses in my threads, some of them hours old.

Also, on the thread itself, if I click the little thread tools icon, in the flyout menu, subscribe to this thread will be checked, even though it is not listed in my subscriptions.
If I then uncheck "subscribe...", it will then subscribe me to the thread; this seems to me to be tail-backwards to what one would expect.

Thanks for any and all help.

I believe that you only get an email notification if someone quotes you in their response, as I did now, to which I hope you received said notification. Unless you were subscribed, where you'd get email notifications to all responses, so onward...

I think you may be mis-conceptualizing that check symbol as a setting, which is understandable. :) Think of the menu options as an action to do, rather than a current disposition of something.

Yes, I did receive notification for this.
Thanks.
