Anyone else having trouble? I used to get emails on new topics in the classifieds and they have stopped. My preferences are still showing the same. I’m confused.

I had that happen once and had to change to another email account because I never could get it to work right with the original account after it had worked for a couple of years. Never figured it out either just would not send to my other account anymore. ????

I'm still getting all mine. Try turning yours off, logging out and then log in and set them back up. May be some sort of a glitch.

Did not know I could follow at the forum level, just turned it on. Will post here if it either works or if I need to do something else to make it work.

 

I have my own domain with email handled by Google services. I read my mail with Thunderbird.

 

When I joined SASS, all email went into my spam folder. Had to write a rule on Google to not mark sassnet.com as junk. Don't know if it was marked because of firearms or because of porn ("sass") but it definitely was a google action to throw all of it in the junk folder.

There was a new topic in the classifieds about 4 hours ago.

 

I have no notification. Not in spam folder either. So, it looks broken.

 

Edit: I have reported this post to the moderators. Now we sit back and wait. From experience being the one to fix technical cruft, these things take time.

I'm getting notifications on all the items.  I'm using Yahoo mail.  Could it have something to do with the mail service thingy  (real tech talk... I've reached to sum total of my knowledge base.  Notifications was the reason I switched from Gmail to Yahoo.  That fixed it for me, whatever the cause is...)

Just curious. Do you get notifications fro every post in the classifieds or only new threads. I just want new threads, but am still getting nothing.

 

I am on gmail (google handles mail for my domains).

 

I just logged into google by web interface again, the mail is not going into the spam/junk folders. I do have opportunities to receive large sums from Nigeria, and miracle health cures, just no notifications from SASS Classifieds.

I've got it set so that I see notifications of new posts on the Classified section, or if someone responds to one of my posts, like you did.

Gmail stopped working for me on March 27 of last year.  So, I tried Yahoo as someone suggested, and it works.

At one time, SASS had a major change to the forums at the same time my ISP did. It was the change by my ISP. I forget how I fixed it.

I remembered what I did.

 

I added the SASS sender address to my white list on my ISP. With some ISPs, you would add that to your contact list on your PC.

Just an update with my problem with notifications following the Classifieds.

 

Works now, but did not work when I first turned it on. Worse than that, all notifications for threads I follow quit arriving when I flipped the switch to follow the Classifieds section.

 

Recalling someone suggested logging out and clearing cookies, I finally did that yesterday (that hint was from 6 weeks ago :lol:)

 

Well, it seems I never put this forum login and password into my keychain. So I click the forgotten password link, and that email does not arrive. Because all my notifications are broken!

 

After asking for moderator assistance, I decided to try password recovery again. This time I got the eMail, got back in here, and contacted the support team again with a "never mind" and lets wait and see what happens with notifications.

 

Notifications for threads I follow started coming in. And then pay dirt! Notification for a new thread in Classifieds arrived.

 

So the answer seems to be to log out, and then log back in (in my case, just over 12 hours later; that detail might be important). Oh, and make sure you know your login and password.

 

And yes, I do leave my system logged in to various sites, sometimes for many months at a time. Yesterday was the first time I actually logged out since joining here.
