Freecyclers, are you still receiving emails?

I've advertised something on my local Freecycle website and the item appeared there on Sunday, 15 March.  Only one more item has appeared on the website on 16 March and nothing since. 
Looking at the email account I use for Freecycle I have had no incoming Freecycle emails since 6 March so in order to check that the account was still working I sent myself an email and it duly appeared.
Anyone else had problems?

    I was receiving emails until this morning. Some of the items on offer are a two-man job and obviously sited in an older person's home, so much for social isolation! If Freecycle wishes to continue, it should encourage a doorstep approach.
    No man is worth crawling on this earth.

    So much to read, so little time.

    There's nothing wrong with you deciding not to pick something up that requires two people, and there's nothing wrong with you deciding only to pick up from the doorstep or a place a few foot from the house.
    How about encouraging people to be sensible instead of asking to be spoon fed?

    Thank you for your replies.
    I've managed to sort the problem.  It was the "Settings" on my Freecycle account.
