Forum notifications don't work anymore
« on: November 14, 2023, 10:46:09 PM »
Hi,
I've just noticed that for (at least) 1 day, I'm no longer receiving the notifications I subscribed to in my profile.

Is this a problem just for me or for everyone?

I haven't noticed this (excuse the terrible pun), in relation to my Profile settings. 

Generally I just use the 'Show new replies to your posts.' at the top of the forum pages to display those topics I have posted in. 

I generally don't use the Notify button at the bottom of the topic I have posted in.  But I will try that and see if I get a notification when you reply.

30 minutes later, I still haven't received notification of your message and I'm still subscribed to the topic: there's an "unsubscribe" button.

it could also be that my address provider is blocking Avast WEBforum emails :-[

(nothing in my spam either)

It's been happening to me the last few months. Then, suddenly it starts working again, then stops. I think someone's tinkering with the servers, again. ;)

I didn't see any notification either, but the button at the bottom has an UNNOTIFY button, which I'm about to enable again.

Personally I don't really worry about this issue as I use the Show new replies to your posts. option at the top of the page.

If (for now) you have an "unnotify" button, you should be notified... if you click on it, you should no longer be notified, no?

I had it because I had checked the Notify button to see if I got a notifications.  I didn't, so I set it back to my default by clicking the UNNOTIFY button.

I just received this afternoon a notification sent on November 14 (3 days later  ::)),  so I'm more likely to think that my provider is filtering rather than an issue with the avast forum.

edit:All notifications (i think) have just been sent, including yesterday's here

Well I just got a Notification email, which is very unusual for me, given that I UnNotified previously.

So it looks like or could be a backlog is being cleared.
