Notify of replies on topic

toozie_2

Please can anyone tell me why when I ALWAYS tick the box that I want to be notified of any replies to a subject, but I'm not notified on all of them?

When I seach the site, I see that there has been a reply, but I've not had the e-mail?

Am I doing something stupid????

(box ticked for replies!!) ;D

It is one of the features of the site that has always been a bit hit or a miss, however the brand new forum coming up shortly should sort out this particular problem

What is email notification?
If you post a new thread, or reply to an existing thread, you can choose to be notified by email when someone else replies to that thread. You can also choose to receive email notifications of new posts in a thread without posting in that thread, by clicking the 'Subscribe to this thread' link displayed in the thread page.

If you choose to stop receiving email notifications from a thread, you can turn off the option by either editing your post, or by unsubscribing from the thread here.

Only registered users may receive email notification, and they can set whether they want to receive email notification by default by editing their options.

Email notification is also referred to as 'Thread Subscription'.
