    thread subscription problems

    I have subscribed to a lot of threads with notices going to my e-mail on a instant basis.

    But I just now noticed I have gotten any kind of e-mail post messages since yesterday.

    The threads are still active and receiving posts.

    I wouldn't even no where to begin to guess what the problem is? Is there a backlog some where? Is there an error in some kind of setting?

    For some reason, my notifications started going to spam in gmail yesterday. I had to teach it that it's not spam. Have you checked your spam folder?

    I hadn't thought of that. I checked. Nope not there.

    It's like I've never received them.

    ADDITIONAL

    I think I figured it out.

    maybe. kind of. some kind of going to the wrong e-mail address kind of thing.

    additional part 2:
    I don't know what's going on. I'm getting mad and need to step away.

    You'll want to log into your he-fans.com account and train your spam folder that Org messages are Not Spam.
    One you do that for a few notices, you shouldn't have any problems any more.

    I think with the upgrade of the forums, the header info may be different on the e-mails, and gmail filters may be more sensitive to it.
    I have a feeling other fans with he-fans.com and she-ravers.com may have this problem too. So I'm going to leave it open for them in case there are any other questions.
    Thanks!

    I'm having problems again with my he-fans.com email address.

    This time I'm getting nothing. Nothing is arriving at that address when I know there should be.

    I'm suppose to get the notices instantly.

    Did you check your spam folder on your he-fans.coms account?

    Hmmmm... so is it a matter of it nor forwarding from your he-fans to your regular e-mail? Are you checking the he-fans account directly? etc.

    There's nothing to forward because I'm not receiving anything at my he-fans address. I was but not now

    I have stopped getting notices altogether as well, so I went and checked my he-fans.com e-mail and sure enough my messages had started going into my Spam. Thanks to this thread I am hoping the problem is now solved.

    you're welcome.

    Your problem maybe solved but mine isn't.

    I'm still not getting any e-mails at my he-fans address.

    just to make sure, do you have them set-up to go to your Email?

    i think these are the correct instructions (not completely familiar with this function - i prefer to just check them every so often):

    go to your subscribed threads page
    select your subscribed threads
    click Selected Threads
    choose the appropriate option under Update Subscription Type

    It's almost always because the notices are going into the spam folder. The forum is definitely sending out the notices. So they are being intercepted somewhere. This sometimes happen when there is an upgrade to the forum and something changes with the header/e-mail info on a forum notice.

    Make sure you login at server level and check for filtered e-mail. For example, if you're a he-fans.com subscriber, login at mail.he-fans.com and go specifically to the Spam folder. Then mark all e-mails in there that are valid as "Not Spam." After that, you'll get the notices again.

    I had 17 He-Man.org e-mail notices (that should have arrived across the last week) ALL arrive overnight, so not sure what is happening.

    I was just now just checking my e-mails and noticed a mega slew of he-man e-mails.

    It appears everything is ok.

    Thanks to whomever.

    The queue was apparently just back logged after the 4.2 upgrade.
