Missing notifications

Post by Peter2 »

It seems that I get no more notifications upon replies to my post. Nothing was changed - neither my mail nor my settings.

Any other people here who made same experience?

There seems to be a limit in phpBB regarding the number of topics you can subscribe to. Although the checkbox for “Notify me when a reply is posted” is activated, I didn't get an e-mail for this latest response either.
How many topics are you subscribed to, Peter?
FYI: You'll find a list of Watched forums and/or Watched topics in User Control Panel » Overview » Manage subscriptions.

I'm assuming you did get a topic reply notification for my previous post. Could you please give me an example for a topic where this doesn't work?
Also: Is Notify me upon replies by default (User Control Panel » Board preferences » Edit posting defaults) activated? Did you check your spam folder for missing notifications?

These e-mails were sent from the same address to the same address for the past seven years, and all over sudden Gmail decides they're spam? That's odd :?

Again, I don't know what to make of this, but it has to be related to the new server. (Perhaps the sender IP has changed.)

So, if other members start complaining, we can tell them to put newsgroup[ät]xnview[döt]com on their whitelist.

OK, now I know for sure. I did not get the majority of notifications for the “***** ********” topic.
What's more: The ones I received sometimes did not arrive in chronological order.

I think we should — at least temporarily — change this setting to see if that fixes the problem:
[color=green]Administration Control Panel[/color] » [color=green]General[/color] » [color=green]Client communication[/color] » [color=green]E-mail settings[/color] » [color=green]E-mail package size[/color] wrote:This is the number of maximum e-mails sent out in one package. This setting is applied to the internal message queue; set this value to 0 if you have problems with non-delivered notification e-mails.

I don't see any problems in the Error log (Administration Control Panel » Maintenance » Forum logs), Pierre.
The E-mail settings (General » Client communication) also seem to be correct.

Yes, now I got it on my new email-address. Thanks for your help.

BTW:
Now it is 18:25 CET, the notification was send at 18:01 - but the forum displays that your post was made at 19:00 ??
(Yes, my forum setting is CET).

I don't know for sure :-|
Your settings regarding the time zone have an effect on the forum software (phpBB) but not the server it is running on and that is sending out the notification e-mails via SMTP.
