I am not receiving forum notifications

Post by Amazone »

For months now I receive no notifications from the forum.
I think others have the same problem.
I would really like that solved!

I’ve checked emails from the forum, and they’re definitely sending. Could any of the notifications have gone to your spam folder?

Today I received notifications but I wonder if it is only when I posted in a thread.
As one cannot post in announcements this means we never get to read these.
Could you put a test message in announcements?

Ok I posted in Announcements. Did you get a notification?

No I did not.
When I look at notification options I see this:
Your topics/posts are approved or disapproved by a moderator
Someone replies to a topic you have bookmarked
Someone replies to a topic to which you are subscribed
Someone quotes you in a post
Someone creates a topic in a forum to which you are subscribed
Someone replies to a topic in a forum to which you are subscribed
Miscellaneous Notifications
Someone sends you a private message
Your report on a private message is closed by a moderator
Your report on a post is closed by a moderator

So I will never see your announcements.
Also I do not see what others post.
I like to see everything.
I think others have the same problem

So do you have this option selected:

And have you subscribed to the Announcements forum? It will say "Subscribe forum" if you haven't yet subscribed, and "Unsubscribe forum" if you have:

It's at the bottom of each forum section. So for example, click on Announcements. At the bottom of that screen you should see the option.

OMG. I have checked "subscribe forum" everywhere.
That seems logical
Will change it now.
