I'm not gettin new emails when a topic I subscribed to is posted too. Why might this be?
When you post a link starting with the http:// or www.InSertSiteHere.com
isn't it suppose to create a link in the topic, so you can hit enter to go to said link?
Thanks,
John

The only thing I can think of is that you will only get one Email per topic, regardless of the number of new posts. You won't receive any more new emails until you've viewed the topic.

However, I will say one thing: when a topic you've subscribed to gets a new post while you're logged in, where you receive the QN instead of the Email, the HTML code is broken there, and thus, you can't click the link from the QN to view the topic.

I'm not getting email when there is a new post to a topic to which I am subscribed, either. It makes sense that I would only get one email per topic, regardless of the number of posts to said topic between the time I log out and the next time I view it, but I'm not even getting one anymore.

I'm not getting an email for topics I'm subscribed to, either. I was just wondering about this myself, and planned to post a topic about it, but you beat me to it. Anyway, I do think it's a bug. I used to get emails when a new post was made to topics I was subscribed to, but I haven't for at least 6 months or so, if not longer.

Yes I understand what you are sayin 'bout only gettin one email per topic until it is viewed, but I dont get anything as far as new posts to topics I have subscribed too.
Today I just logged onto here and it said there were 4 posts to the topic. I never got an email 'bout it and I subscribed to this topic as soon as I posted it.

yeah. That shouldn't be happening, especially if it is happening to others as well. Hopefully the admins get around to fixing this bug soon.

I'm aware it shouldnt' be happening, but wanted to be sure it wasn't just me.

I just wanted to say that since this topic was posted, I've been getting emails from my subscribed topics. Obviously someone saw this and did something about it, so thanks.

Really? I'm still not getting emails about my subscribed topics, and I know for a fact that one of them is posted to regularly.

I wonder why some people are getting these emails and the rest of us aren't. I would think that either we would all get emails about the topics to which we have subscribed, or none of us would.

Good point. I used to get emails at my current email address to so its not that.
