Title: E-mail notifications
Post by: Andrew Wiskow on October 04, 2008, 12:21 PM
Lance, the direct e-mail notification feature, which sends you an e-mail whenever a topic that you've participated in, has never worked here.  But about a week ago, it started working all of a sudden.  I just thought I'd let you and everyone else here know that it's working now.  I use this feature on most forums that I'm a member of to keep up with topics that interest me.  :)

I've never even thought about it.  Thanks for informing me.

Hmm... It seems as though this feature has stopped working again.  Any idea why, Lance?

If it helps, it seems like it stopped working at about the same time as you posted that you'd made some modifications and you'd let us find out what they were for ourselves.

Cosmetic - not functional

Okay...  Well, the e-mail notifications still aren't functional, so perhaps you could say that offering a function that doesn't function is purely cosmetic.  ;)

Ok - looks like it's working again - I've changed the email function from PHP to SMTP & pointed it at my local mail program (some hosts may reject it).

It's working again on my end!  :)

Will point at another SMTP provider as some messages are being rejected.
