Not getting pm notifications

Postby jaggedjagd » Sun Mar 08, 2020 3:26 pm

I have settings set to receive an e-mail whenever I get a pm here, though lately I've not been receiving them reliably. I checked my spambox, not in there either. Just not getting any.

Weirdest thing is, I changed my e-mail address here recently because this was happening on my previous e-mail as well. (I thought the problem was the mail server itself, it used to be a gmx mail.) I've since changed it to my g-mail address and that worked fine at first, but now it's back to the same problem: Not getting e-mail notifications for pms.

I don't check here daily so it can sometimes take weeks before I see pms I get here, particularly bad when it's about commissions... Any idea how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

I only get email notifications for post replies, and as far as I can tell, it's always been that way...

Generally speaking this forum has no problem delivering to gmail account. Though gmail still filter based on individual preference with their spam and there really isn't a straight forward way to figure out what exactly happened. Check the whitelist instruction in the FAQ would be one of the first step. See if that help. And if it doesn't you should just PM me for extra instruction that is specific to your account.

No that is not true. It is in your setting under user control panel at the top left. You can set "Notify me on new private messages" to Yes, and that is by e-mail.
