Have Email Notifications Been Disabled Again?

[Votan]

Yes, I have been having the same issue with instant notification but I did get a newsletter as well. I have checked spam a few times and no luck. I have not tried the Daily subscriptuion trick, yet, but I will let know know how it goes.

Yes, Nonei's trick with Daily subscriptions is working but the instant subscriptions are not.

Strange!

Agreed. The Daily notifications work fine on the threads I have added them to so I can be pretty sure it isn't a spam filter problem on my end.

They're not turned off. We don't know why they sometimes stop sending.

Ah, a gremlin it is.

I appreciate you looking into it for us. I'll update the thread if the instant notifications come back at some point just in case the timing is informative.

FYI I tried deleting the subscription on one of my threads and re-subscribing to it as instant, and that didn't fix it.

Didn't the last time the notification stopped, something cleared the "blockage" and a like a dam breaking, a flood was released that nearly collapsed the ENWorld computer. Is there a possibility there is a build up of notifications waiting to be released and could take down the server again?

Perhaps the server needs more fiber in its diet?

Good point... maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to actually really disable email notifications for a day or so (I'm assuming this will delete the backlog, but it may not) and then re-enable it again. There's a slight possibility that this will get it working again, but I don't know enough about the forum software to know for sure.

I do know, though, that I've gotten used to going into "My Account" when I get to EN World because I'm so used to email notifications not working.
