So you're not getting any? You will only get one for a particular thread until you visit it again. So, if there are 6 replies but you've not been back since the last 5 replies were made, you would only have received the first one since you were there and for the other 4 you would not get notifications.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your reply. I know how it usually works but now I don't get any from this forum. I am still getting them from other forums and I seem to be getting them from every where else which is why I thought there may be a problem with the forum email notification system.

If I click on "Quick Links", "Subscribed Threads" I see a list of threads that I am subscribed to. In this list, the far right column is titled "Notification". All the treads are UN-checked. If I check them, leave the page and then go back, they are all UN-checked again. Should they not stay checked?
Perhaps this is why I am not being sent the email notifications.

I used to receive email notifications from the forum, to the email account that I have with "Plusnet". I thought there may have been a problem with the forum when I stopped receiving them. I have now set up an account with "Gmail" and changed the settings of my UserCP and I do receive the notifications there. I guess the problem must be with the "Plusnet" account. Perhaps it is treating the forum notifications as spam but, as I don't know how to alter that, I'm stuck with using both email accounts.
The following link may help if you need to change your own forum settings. http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/faq.php?faq=vb3_user_profile#faq_vb3_subscriptions
Thanks for your interest.

Sorry, Bob, I didn’t get your email.
My last email from this site was 21-Sep-2012 7:35 PM @ GMT +10
And I’m supposed to get automatic emails if someone reports a post.
I really can’t do much of that sort of thing if I don’t get the notifications.
At the moment I have to bookmark posts and manually poll them to look for a response.

I'm not sure. I was out most of the day and saw email to night. Responded and deleted them. Seems it was sometime today.... and as I recall I went into my profile first thing this morning to confirm I had Instant set (it was set) and I re-saved the profile.
