I used to get an email notification when a thread I was participating in got a posting. My User CP is set for instant email notification, but it is not happening. Just started yesterday.

Check your settings in your User CP (top left of the blue Menu Bar). I know that's beside the point, the point being that it just happened for no reason. I used to have mine set for email notifications, but I chat on here so much, I was getting WAY too many emails.

Thaks again,

Hi Dave,
You're not using Gmail, are you?
My account decided last week that ARC emails are spam and never delivered them to my inbox.

My yahoo mail decided the same thing. I disabled the funcion because all it did was fill up my spam folder.

I'm on bellsouth.net and I don't have any response notifications on my email, in spam or otherwise. It is like the function on the ARC site just stopped working.

I go to my list of subscribed threads, and next to those is says "instant", so they are set to instant messaging for new posts, and I am not receiving anything.

I can see if the ARC got added toa list of blocked sites on my Trend Micro.......just checked....don't see anything.

I was wondering about this myself. I've found that sometimes I get an alert email of a response to the posting but most of the time don't. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason either way.

Well I just got an email notice of a response to the Coyote thread I started in the lounge....no setting on my User CP changed...we'll see if it was a hiccup in the system.

I am on Bellsouth email and lately some seem to appear in my spam folder where others go right on through. Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason.

Update: I am getting sporadic notices, but only 1 or two. No rhyme or reason to it. One subscribed thread will send a notice, but another doesn't. And I have been pretty active posting the last day or so.

:D Not complaining, but once you get used to receiving these notices, suddenly not getting them seems strange. I know you were j/k.

Anyways, just a heads up. Could be a site issue, or maybe my email is wacky!

FWIW, my emal notifications are workingjust fine through Charter then outlook, and through ATT then I-phone.

Finally figured out why I was not getting notices to subscribed threads. I have been using Outlook Express for years now. I am an ATT internet subscriber, and ATT switched to Yahoo powered email a few weeks ago, and with the switch the ARC notices were getting marked as SPAM. I now access my email at ATT.net and just noticed that, so I have corrected the issue.
