Am I the only one that keeps loosing my email notifications on watched threads? I've seen this happen 2xs on 2 different threads. I usually go unwatch and rewatch again and get the notifications again for a couple of days?

Is this a bug or something I'm doing

If you don't go into the thread, the notification doesn't reset... It's kind of a sucky design. It should at least reset at the end of each day so that you've got a chance to get notified if new items are being posted.

I've lost a few threads that way.... missed a notificiation (or temporarily ignored it) and the subsequent 20 posts never triggered a notification email....


I'm not 100% sure if you HAVE to follow the link in the email notification to reset the notification, or if clicking on the thread directly from within the forum will reset your notifications. :dunno:



EDIT: I set up a bookmark for this:

https://ck5.com/forums/watched/threads


Which will basically show me threads that I'm subscribed to, that I haven't read in a while....that might be a decent workaround if you get in the habit of using it.

Same email topic, how do I turn off email notifications?

I woke up this morning to 113 email on notifications, that is killing my data usage.

Check under "Preferences" in your User Configuration....

There are options for whether you want to receive email notifications or not.

Yep, and they are all off. Have been for months now.

I'd just unsubscribe from everything and start over....

Maybe your settings got all corrupted in the early launch of the new software and don't match the actual checkboxes?? :dunno:

Do you get email notifications on "new" threads (like THIS one for example) or only on old stuff from when the site first relaunched?

Nope, just old stuff that I've been sub'd to for a while.

I'll try to reset them and see what that does. Thanks other Greg.
 
Greg - as opposed to other Greg (OG) thanks for the link. Found a couple of threads in there I missed. Yeah would be nice if it would still remind you occasionally. I've missed a notification apparently and several pages of thread have gone by...

I've also come to a conclusion, there are too many Gregs in here.

You should sort by post count. Since you post quite a bit, you will slowly move up the chain of Gregs.

Good luck catching Mr Granite State. You've got quite a ways to go.

But you have passed Mr. Ducato in this regard, so you could probably call yourself Greg #2. :thinking:


:haha:
 
I also have a problem where threads occasionally fall off of the alerts page (so I stop hearing about them). This sometimes causes me to miss updates. Until I check the "watched threads" page and discover the problem.
 
If anyone was having the issue I was having and did not want to receive any emails...

Bottom of the emails ask if you want to unsubscribe. Follow the link and problem solved. Not getting anymore emails now.
