No Notifications Anymore
 

I always got an e-mail notification when a post was put on a thread that I had posted on. I no longer get that. I checked my settings to make sure the instant notification box was checked and it is.
Is it just me or is anyone else having that issue ?

Same here.
Since the middle of September.
Have set my Centurylink acct. to not filter spam.
Still not receiving thread up dates.
Any ideas moderator/administrator?

No, you are NOT alone. I've noticed the same exact thing.
I'm computer literate and I have the proper boxes checked as well.
They just stopped arriving..........all settings are as they should be.
This is not new.....but has been going on all summer........

I did buy a new computer.

It could be that TOTV is set up for older computer systems??

i only get a ding when i get a pm

I've had this computer for 2 years. I stopped getting notifications almost 2 months ago.

My notifications appear to be timely.

OK, I see I'm not the only one with the problem.
Wonder if this is a TOTV issue, or my ISP Centurylink?...

When I stopped receiving notifications approximately 2 months ago, I emailed the TOTV Admin. Never received a response. I just assumed they'd found a way to reduce server activity and stress on the system. A response would have been appreciated but they're certainly not obligated to do so.

I have Comcast.

No e-mail sent to me from TOTV when I receive a PM
 

A few weeks ago, I stopped receiving e-mail notifications when someone sends me a PM.

I just checked my setup, and I should be receiving an e-mail when someone sends me a PM as that box has a check mark in it.

The forum can send a message to your email address to inform you when someone sends you a private message.
Receive Email Notification of New Private Messages


This is not a huge issue, but it was nice to get those e-mail notifications. I will send an e-mail to the admin to see if something changed, or if this can be fixed.

Thanks for your doing that........it seems many of us miss the email notifications. They would be received not only for private messages but for "new" postings to subscribed threads.

Good Luck !

p.s.
Last but not least, happy belated birthday !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope you enjoyed your special day.

We celebrate four other October birthdays..... !

We are looking into this issue. Thanks for the report.

Anyone who is having this issue, please 'log out' of your TOTV account. You can do this by clicking on the 'Log Out' icon in the navigation menu at the top of the page to the far right. We recommend clearing your cookies and cache of your device. Then log back in. We just tested and everything functioned correctly. This should take care of this issue for you. If not feel free to let us know.

Regards,

I did all of that before my original post. Logged off, cleared all history, re-booted my computer and still no notifications.

Me too :-(

Still not working for me.

I logged out of TOTV, closed browser, deleted history and cookies, then logged back into TOTV and posted a new thread. Notification still not working. Talk Host and his crew would have already solved this problem.

ditto.

Howdy,

I'm trying to get to the bottom of this. I have been testing it for some time and I am getting the notifications. I'm trying to narrow down why some of you are experiencing this issue.

Those of you not getting subscription notifications please email me the following information.

Username on Talk of the Villages
Name of Internet Service Provider
Email address used to register on Talk of the Villages
Email program used on computer. ie: Outlook, Gmail over the web

Thanks

Fixed for me.
I started getting notifications again, about 4 days ago.

Centurylink ISP

Thunderbird e-mail program....

Thanks!

DITTO. I also began getting notifications again yesterday.
It's really hard not to become paranoid on this site........

It's nice to get the updates again via email.....via notifications.

Windows Live e-mail program
Windows 7 HP computer; newest version before they switched to "8"

I started getting notifications again the other day. Thank you !

I also received a few notifications since Sunday, 10/13. Thank you.

George

Problem now fixed for me as well...hadn't worked for several weeks, then about 5 days ago I started getting notifications again from TOTV.

Comcast is my ISP.
I believe Comcast uses Microsoft Outlook for their e-mail.

Technology is great...when it works.
