What could be a reason why I have not been receiveing the emails from pet of the day on the threads I subscribe to with instant notification??
Up until a few days ago I always got the emails. But lately, nothing. :confused:

Just to cover all bases - have you checked your subscription list to make sure they are all listed? Did you look at your User CP to make sure instant notification is still checked?
If all those are correct, then I guess you need to talk with Karen and Paul.
YUP, they still say instant.
And I m still not receiving them. :(
Have you checked to make sure they are not going to your spam or junk folder? Your email program may have started filtering them into there, but you can fix that by adding the petoftheday.com to your address book as an approved sender ...Quote:

In addition to checking to make sure they are not being filtered to your spam folder, double check to make sure your email address is current (I've accidentally changed/edited mine before...).
Who is your provider? Are you using web-based or POP3 (through a program such as outlook)? If so, check those settings as well to make sure they are correct.
This is frustrating. :eek:
Petoftheday is on my "whitelist". always has been. And now I added it to the address book too.....but still no emails. :(
How'z come??
I tried to send myself a Pet Talk generated E-mail (NOT a PM) ...
and after I composed the e-mail, I got a Pet Talk pop-up alert
saying the "the member (ME) doesn't accept e-mails" ... (or words to that effect).
HUH? ... That's news to me!
Here's what's on my CP page >>>
Receive Email
From time to time, the administrators may want to send you email notices.
If you do not want to receive these notices, disable this option.
{checked} Receive Email from Administrators
You can allow other members to send you email messages.
{checked} Receive Email from Other Members
So ... why can't I get PT E-mails from other PTers???
I *DO GET* all my post and PM notification E-mails.
/s/ :confused: Phred
For a test, I just tried to send Phred an email. Received this message -
Quote:
Sorry! That user has specified that they do not wish to receive emails. If you still wish to send an email to this user, please contact the administrator and they may be able to help.
And the exact same message came up when I tried to send myself one.
Somehow the emailing of other users had gotten turned off, we just turned it back on.
That, however, doesn't have anything to do with Jen's original problem!

THANKS, Mayor Karen & Side-Kick Mr. Paul!

"There may be other replies also, but you will not receive any more notifications until you visit the forum again." ...
BUT I also get STRINGS of e-mails reporting each & every post to a thread
without me ever visiting the site to read any of them. :confused:
I've sometimes thought I hadn't received a posting e-mail because it's been LATE arriving -
sometimes it's been 10-15 minutes after I've seen & read the post on Pet Talk
that the e-mail arrives - but that's probably a hang-up out in cyber-space where the
message went 'round the world a few extra times before it hopped off in Ohio. :p
Long way of sayin I don't have a clue whe she doesn't get her notices! :(
Maybe the system draws straws on e-mails ...
*Long Straw = Ya get LOTS of alert e-mails
* Medium Straw = Ya only get "some"
* SHORT Straw = Nuffin!!
:D
Well, for whatever reason, today I recieved the 2 "pet talk mailers" on the threads that my user control panel state had new posts. Could it be working again?
It's MAGIC ... just pure plain MAGIC!Quote:

It *could* have something to do with the server they're currently on being "overloaded" when sending out subscription updates. Maybe since the server is slow loading the site, it's also backed up with sending out email updates too?
