    I'm not getting email notifications

    I have posted on 3 different forums here and I'm not getting email notifications when someone replies. I went to User CP and Edit Options and it is set to Instant Notification.

    Also, I clicked on Subscriptions and it's showing none. How do I subscribe to a thread I started?

    Thanks.

    Try a Gmail account this time since your Yahoo didn't work and apparently neither does your Hotmail..

    Your friend is using a Yahoo account and should try a gmail account too.

    I've setup a notification on this thread to test...But I've never had a problem with my Road Runner account through Time Warner.

    Steven, I thought you said I was using one of the bad 4 and I forget what they are now and one of them was AOL. I thought Gmail was one of them also. So I swtiched to hotmail.

    I went into my blocked list, but that's for email addresses, not websites, have to put in a @ sign for safe list and blocked list. Can't find a place to add a safe website.

    This is happening to me as well. Sharkys is not in spam, or inbox, or as a blocked address. I'm just simply not getting a notification.

    I didn't get any emails either... Have reported the issue to the IT department.

    Steven, I know that. Just saying that in my hotmail account, when I go to safe lists and blocked lists, there is not place to put in www.sharkyforums.com. I am only allowed to enter email adddresses. Can't even put in a domain.

    And still not getting any notifications when others had problems here and now they are getting them. Did IT fix this issue yet?

    OK, I will change it to Gmail.

    You can't test with your own post. The system is a bit smarter than that and is pretty certain it knows you know you just posted

    The correct address is-> Forums@Sharkyfourms.com
