Post subject:  Not Getting Email Notification of PM's

Up until about a week ago I was getting email notifications when I got a PM. Since then, however, I have not.

I went into my settings and verified that I have the option to receive emails when a PM is received checked, but its just not happening. I clicked and re-clicked the box to try to "re-set" it, but that didn't solve the problem.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

I just checked out the pm/e-mail notification thing...I need to talk with someone who has better kung-foo than I about it. I didnt notice it because I dont normally run mine for the notification, but I have been testing it since reading this thread and am not getting notified either.

Italo, I dont know why your having a difficult time with embedding the youtube vids, I just did a test thread on it and it works fine for me.
Are you using the letters and numbers in the url bar after the "=" and pasting that into the youtube tags?

ok, so if i do what you said (JUST the letter and numbers after the =) it worked (test #3)....but if i just copy and paste the whole thing it doesnt.....hmmmm...i swear it was never like that before.....


either way, we'll just call it user error on my behalf......

That wont work....did it work for you before? I tried it in the past and it never worked for me.
Instead of using youtubes embed feature, use the letters and numbers in the url bar after the "=" and pasting that into the youtube tags.

And now that we've solved his highness's youtube threadjack, back to your regularly scheduled thread about PM notifications...

:wink:

Thanks for looking into it, Pete. Its not a huge deal, but a minor annoyance I appreciate your help with.

as a test, i sent some of you an email using the adminATdirttreaders address. if you didn't get it, you have it blocked on your spam.


i'm kidding, but when i get a chance, i will do just that. sorry, i'm swamped at my *paying* job.

I just checked my "JunkMail" folder...the notifications are in there

So..what I did to avoid this issue any further, was add the adminAtdirtTreaders address to my contact list and logged it as not junk. Thanks for the heads up LDood! :thumbsup:
