Email notifications of new posts to a thread

Time to drag this one out again

Over time, a number of emails in profiles become no longer valid and need to be updated if you want to receive notifications on watched threads, or PMs. Obviously we can’t notify you because the PM would bounce back

Then there is the whitelist issue. This is especially important for people in France because free.fr has a history of simply bouncing back emails which are not in the French language.

Not always receiving e-mail notification of a posting in a ‘Watched Thread’.
Could be since ‘New Server’ !!

Thread watch notifications do work; I have an automated process which generates a test post (on a hidden thread) at 9am every morning, so have a high degree of confidence that the whole process is running

However, note that you get only one notification from a thread, and you won’t get any more until you have visited that thread.

And the system won’t know you have visited unless you are logged in. So, people who read the forum without logging in will find that all notifications eventually stop. Other forum features also stop working.

Another explanation can be this.

Watching Treads. Guess since the ‘new server’ not sure thread watching is working 100%.
Don’t seem to get e-mail notification on each occasions. ‘Seems hit and miss’
Example – the ‘pie chart’ posted by Peter today on this thread has not arrived as an e-mail notification.
Also watching ‘Malibu in Channel’ with similar irregular notifications.

Indeed; fixed a short time ago. It was broken (due to a modification) for about a day.
