Question about emails

Hi

My question is how come I'm not getting emails from the boards?
I've always gotten your emails and now I'm not! I have the same
email and I haven't changed anything other than my password for my email.
No there not going to my bulk ether. Does anybody know why this
is happening? Or how i can fix it? Has anybody else had this problem?
I can see the email when I visit the boards but only when i visit.
I haven't unchecked the box ether for recieving emails. Please help It's frustrating.

Thanks so much
Kareese

Hi Kareese.

I don't know why that's happening. Reply with your browser type (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.), and I'll post the question on the tech board. They might not be able to get to it until Monday. They did do some board maintenance last night, so also let me know how long it's been going on.

In the meantime, are you sure someone isn't deleting them? As far as I know, if in your profile, board settings, you have it marked to receive e-mails when someone replies to one of your posts, it should work. I know I can also mark/unmark that at the bottom of my post (here), and once it's unchecked, you won't get e-mail for any replies posted, regardless of the board.

I'm using Mozilla firefox. It's been happening for a week now.
It hit me that i might not be getting emails from friends
and family ether. I'm thinking about changing my email if i do that
can i just change it on my profile with out any problems?
I'm pretty sure nobody's messing with it. i could be wrong
but I'm far away from dh and he has no access to a computer
anymore anyways. Plus he said he would no longer check anything
i do! Thank God!

Thanks
Kareese

The box is still checked.

I use Mozilla Firefox also, and I'm getting email notifications just fine. If you do change email addresses it's very easy to update in your profile. Just click on your screen name where it says *welcome* at the top right hand corner of the page, and it will ask you to confirm your password and then let you edit your membership details.

Kareese, on the off chance that someone is deleting your e-mails, there are many free services that will forward e-mail for you. Check with your e-mail provider, and you can also do a search (email forwarding) to find one.

This type of service will help you make sure you receive all of your e-mail during the transition.

Another thing you can try is to change your password with your current e-mail provider. If someone is tampering with it, they would have to know the new password to access it.

Like Steve, I'm using Mozilla Firefox and have not had any trouble receiving my mail. Let me know if you still want me to post your issue with the Tech people.

No you don't need to.. I just changed my email so it shouldn't be a problem now.

Thanks

Hi Kareese,

I posted your problem to the tech board and should have some info for you soon. I know another member started having a similar problem, but when she entered a new e-mail addy, it worked for her.

Sit tight, and I'll let you know when I hear something back.
