Hello!
I wanted to let you know that the topic reply emails are getting sucked into Yahoo Mail's spam filter.
I work at a pretty big company and we learned that the same thing was happening to our mails, because there was an exclamation point (!) in the subject line.
While your emails don't have one in the subject line, they do have one in the sender name, "avast!WEBforum". I might recommend removing it to make it easier for folks to know when their topics have been replied to.
Also, your "hide email from public" option doesn't work. All you have to do is mouse over the mail icon to see the address......but maybe this is a known issue.... [Edit: I see now I was incorrect about this 2nd part]

1 hide email from public perfectly works, you can only see yours and the ones from those who decided not to hide it
2 tell your spam filter to exclude avast! notifications ;)
hope that helped

#1 did. As for #2, I'm trying to help Avast and its community. I already know how to help myself.

sorry I don't get it, I just showed that your two statements where not justified, so who did you help ???

How is my 1st statement not justified? I'm telling you for a fact that Yahoo Mail considers Avast email to be spam, and how that might be corrected, and you're giving me snarkyness. Not everyone thinks to check their spam filters every 5 minutes.
Say you're a mail carrier, and your customary method of entering yards is by screaming and waving your arms. My dog bites you, and I advise you, "Well, maybe you shouldn't enter by screaming and waving your arms". You, in turn, advise me that my dog should've been expecting you.
Maybe that's true....but if you continue to go screaming and waving your arms into other peoples' yards, whose fault is it, really, if you continue to be bitten?
My point being, "drop the stupid exclamation point".

what the hell are you talking about ??? :D ...bye :D

Clearly you're incapable of grasping logic and simple analogy. Maybe next time before you try to be sarcastic, you make sure that you have the mental acuity to deal with the potential response. Or better yet, don't respond if you can do no better than state the obvious.

Your email is hidden, see image.

I got that part! I was incorrect about that. My apologies. :)

It is clear who it might help:
1. having added avast to his personal spam filter settings (helps himself).
2. by pointing out why it is flagged as spam, the exclamation point in "avast!WEBforum," if Alwil/forum software change that to "avastWEBforum" as the sender, it would help all avast/Yahoo users who contribute to the forums. So the reply notification emails don't get flagged as spam.

No problem, you should have heard me squeal when this changed occurred after a forum software update. I simply couldn't see the logic in hiding the email in your settings when you the user can see it, you don't know who else might be able to see it.

Thanks for that. :)
It sucks when you're trying to be helpful and you just receive attitude in return.
Also, I'm glad you understood my confusion about the email icon. :P

You're welcome.

it took a second poster to explain you things and now you finally got it ? fine, good guy :) ...what were you talking about again, mental acuity ??? ;D
ps: if you ever need help again >>> 911

Wow, you really are dense. He was explaining to you, not me. You must be a truly valued contributer around here, what with your insight into matters.
Besides, I indicated I understood about the email icon the first time you mentioned it.

He was explaining to you, not me
and what? how to use a spam filter ? ::) or underlining your "modest" and "proud" contribution?

Due to your lack of literacy, I'm done conversing with you.

That was the part where he owned you for being a smartass, but you're too thick to realize it.

Your command of the english language is obviously not as good as you think it is, but I hope it's warm and cozy in your blanket of ignorance. You're the only one who doesn't realize the joke is on you.

Well, who's trolling here, and who created a thread to offer legitimate feedback? Lest we forget...

Good grief, are you guys trying to get the General categories buried like Off-Topic was?? Methinks it's time to lock this thread.

It's ok, I think I've made my point (and worn it to a dull nub....ha!). At least as much as is possible under the circumstances. I should've stopped after the 2nd post on this page. ::) My friend can argue alone from now on. I'm done.

Logos,
Discretion is most of the time the better part of valor.
Therefore, I suggest that you discretely stop replying in this threat.
Throwing water on a grease fire never helped the situation.... ;D
billkwando, welcome to the forum. :)
