Still not getting email notifications -- Tamara???

8 years ago

This is so annoying. Until a few months ago, I'd always get an email when someone here responded to my post. Then it stopped. I made sure all the appropriate boxes were checked in my profile, but I'm not getting the email notifications. That means I have to try to remember to check back on my threads to see responses. Any recommendations? I did send a message to the powers that be via the "contact us" link but nothing changed, and I didn't get a response.

I know people have referred to Tamara in the past so trying to mention her here, see if that works!

Did you sent a message thru the contact us listed in the "information about posting" below?

Debra is correct, that's the best way to contact them about a problem.

What's the deal with email notification?

Yes Calvin. All my junk/spam goes to a folder and stays there until I ditch it. Last week, I did receive a couple of email notifications about a day after they were posted to my thread, but then they stopped coming.

ravencajun: I couldn't find my way thru winmail-general tab-play sound, but I also didn't try very hard because I prefer not to have the sound. So I took a look at adding a tray icon and wow, those directions look like more than I want to tackle! I think all this is trying to tell me that I am trying to be overly lazy, so maybe I'll just do those extra couple of clicks to see if there's any new mail. It's not like I'm walking out to our real mailbox several times a day to see if the postman came! Thanks much!

Hi Tamara, I'll be the first to point to an 'issue'. You responded to this thread and I am getting the follow-ups emailed to me. This is what the email said: (PLEASE NOTE: The member responding to your post has chosen not to reveal his or her email address. Therefore, you cannot reply to this message via email.) Dedtired, I've tried loading clippings on FF and had no issues. As Christine and Sue suggested, I would make sure that Javascript is updated and to also try it on a different browser, if that's an option for you. Hope this works, but if not -- let me know. gwTamara Since your email addy is shown to members, I'm wondering why it says (PLEASE NOTE: The member responding to your post has chosen not to reveal his or her email address.

Hi Kirkhall -- I think your questions were mostly answered. The related forums links and color change are all things I have on a list. The FAQs are another project that we'll be looking at once the dust settles. If there was something that wasn't answered or you have other concerns, don't hesitate to post here or you are always welcome to contact me directly. I know this has been a crazy day and everyone is finding their way. But, I really appreciate everyone hanging in there and giving it a few days to get used to the changes.

I hope they get back to you soon. I know that used to happen to me too. I'm sure I missed allot of things.

Hi Sue -

It worked! I happened to see my name in the Recent Posts widget (love that thing!). I don't see anything from you in the mailbox, so I'm not sure what's going on. Can you email me directly? My email is listed on my profile. We'll get it figured out.

Btw, email notifications not being received is typically a problem with your ISP and the fact that these emails are auto-generated. Many times they are pinged as spam before they hit your mailbox.
We regularly contact these ISPs and ask to be white listed. Sometimes it works and sometimes we are ignored. ;) Universities and businesses tend to be the most cautious. If anyone else is having problems, let me know and I can check the list. Oh, and if anyone is using Verizon.net -- you won't be getting your notifications. They refuse to even acknowledge our emails. Very frustrating.

I use verizon.net and gave up a long time ago. I actually find I don't mind not getting the notifications. I check the forums everyday anyway.

Thanks, Tamara. I sent you an email but yes, I do have Verizon. Bummer. I check most days too, but sometimes it's hard to remember/find which posts I responded to (and I'm often curious to see how people after me responded, etc.).

The odd thing is that I have had Verizon forever and I have been on this board for several years and only had a problem as of a few months ago.

Tamara,

I sent you an email about a month or so ago - to you addy on this site and never received an answer. Wondering if you could check and see if it is there. I will watch here for an answer. My question is different.

Sorry for hijacking your post OP, just glad to see Tamara is still around.

Sue, when the notifications didn't work for me, I would bookmark any threads I wanted to file in a folder called "GW threads".

So it appears for some reason I canÃ¢ÂÂt post to the gardenweb forums anymore. I get the following error. I tried e-mailing by clicking on the Webmaster link and it got returned saying it couldnÃ¢ÂÂt be delivered.

ÃÂ

Why would you not just block the problem poster, but all posters?

ÃÂ

ÃÂ

So IÃ¢ÂÂm posting this from my very slow cell phone data connection that goes in and out of range and is a total PITA to use. I still havenÃ¢ÂÂt responded to a thread on the regular HD board I started while logged in elsewhere due to this issue. I just noticed this in the last few weeks.
