1. Alerts has no email
2. subscription with email notification has no email
3. how to change subscription notification w/o posting a reply?

That's the first I've heard of someone not receiving subscription emails. Everyone else has been getting too many. Can you post of screenshot of this page? This also happens to be the page where you modify your subscriptions and alert types.wlee wrote: 2. subscription with email notification has no email

Actually you're saving even more by not buying anything! I'll check and see if anything broke with alerts when we updated the site.

Thanks. I also liked when it automatically subscribed me to threads I replied to, which I'm sure is already mentioned elsewhere. :-)

I think you might be the only one who did. It essentially led to a lot of users getting subscribed to too many threads and thus receiving a ton of unwanted notifications. Maybe we can do something about this in the future but for now it'll remain off.b0ne wrote:Thanks.

Checking into a few things now. Can I ask if you've received ANY emails for those 2 threads with email notifications set to on?

The deal alerts system is a confirmed issue and is now being worked on. No ETA on the fix but I'll post an update here when I hear more.

I think most people aren't getting PM email notification, I replied back to people and no response for BST related stuff.
Why did you guys have to change so much? It was working fine and now we can't even PM reliably.

dumping Rogers? hmm...

Just got one a few minutes ago. Do you know for sure that you should've received one and didn't for one of your alerts?
There was no change to PM besides the outbox/sent folders working differently. This does not affect delivery of messages at all. There was a delay in PM emails but that was resolved as of yesterday.FlashEngineer wrote: β I think most people aren't getting PM email notification, I replied back to people and no response for BST related stuff.
