Pm notification delay via Email

Post by candycaneboy03 »

I know this isn't a big issue or maybe it's just me but i thought it'd be best to ask.

Is there anyone else getting a long delay of PM notifications via their email box?
I get email notifications everytime i get a PM here but lately i get them randomly and sporadically through the day. Sometimes even a day later. So unless if i come here directly, i won't know if anyone's pm'd me.

I only really care because i check my email more frequently than i check the forum. And with sales and trades, i'd rather keep people waiting.

Like i said, it's no real biggie. If it's just my email being stupid, then i'll try to change my email with the board and see if that helps.

I had the exact same problem yesterday.
It seems to be working now.

Same problem here. Just a minor PITA (since were "acronyming" everything. lol). I check my email far more frequently than I check my swirl (shocking, I know...).

okay, changed my email, if anyone wants to pm me to test...or hmm, wonder if i could pm myself.

and for what it's worth, i was using a yahoo email. I just changed it to a gmail/edu one.


*edit update* changed emails...go fish. self pm'd myself and got nothing. guess its a server issue or something of that sort.

It looks like the board's settings are all set up correctly, must be something to do with the server which I don't have any control over.

I looked at your account and couldn't see anything that would cause it. Perhaps your e-mail has a spam filter? I've been getting PM notifications..

I think if you've got the forum open you won't get any notifications as it assumes you've already seen the PM.

happens to me all the time. this site sicks. mods read my pm's. i downloaded a reverse phpbb script to see what the mods do regarding the page upgrades to the main site. I don't have access to change anything just view what happens, if you need me email me too.
