Instant notification not working

mumoftwins

Hi,

Can anyone help please? I have subscribed to several threads on MSE to receive instant email notification and I am not receiving any at all even though there have been new posts - does anyone else have this problem or know why it might be happening please?

I have tested my email address and that is receiving normal emails ok.

I got sick of all the email notifications ages ago so turned them off (over 2000 subscribed threads at the moment.)

I just bookmark http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/usercp.html and that lists all the threads that have had new posts since I was last here (or, rather, at that URL.)

Assuming you're using Windows and Internet explorer (these instructions written for IE7, but something similar should work with IE6):

Right click on the following link: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/usercp.html > and select Add to Favourites...

Change the name in the box that pops up to something you'll recognise later. e.g. "MSE New posts"

When you're bored/whatever, Select Favourites in your menu bar at the top, and click on "MSE New posts" - you'll be taken (if you're logged in, if not you'll be prompted to and then taken) to a screen similar to the following:



You'll notice I've highlighted with a red ellipse some blue squares with ticks on the left hand side.

On IE7: Middle clicking or Ctrl-Left-Click will open that thread in a new tab at the first new post you haven't read.
On IE6: Shift clicking the square will open the thread (at the first new post) in a new window.

Either of these will allow you to browse new posts in a separate window while keeping the list of new posts in a window of itself. Simply close the new thread windows when you've finished reading them/replied to them.

Isn't this a quicker way to view all your subscribed threads: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/subscription.html
and sort by last post if you want it in that order...

It's a list of all threads containing new posts you haven't seen yet, without showing you threads you have read fully.

If that's what you mean by 'quicker' then yes it is.

Hi

I wonder if anyone could please help.

I am not receiving any emails from the competitions forum despite being subscribed for forum updates. I had another i.d and it stopped receiving the emails so I changed to a different email address but that didn't work, so then signed up for another i.d with yet another email address but that didn't work either.

I used to receive these emails fine and really miss them. I emailed technical support but no one ever got back to me, understandable given how busy they must be. But I wondered if anyone could help me figure out how to get the competitions forum emails back?

Thanks so much

just bumping this as I have the same prob as OP - quickest for me will most certainly be email as mine is 'on' whilst I'm at my desk all day. How can I re-set my a/c on this forum to immediately email me upon new posts on my subscribed threads.
