Email notifications

I get an email notification on Private Messages but not to posts. Is this feature disabled in the board software?

All,

When you create a topic or reply to one that already exists, there is a user selectable box near the bottom of the page that allows you to turn ON/OFF the topic notification by email function. Two functions (topic & PM) must also be turned ON in your User Profile and when you post.

There are some other items that may make it appear that the post-email function is not working properly:

1. Times on this board are controlled by GMT +/- which you control in your profile. Iowa is in the Central US and the time setting in your profile should be GMT -6. Of course, these time settings that we can change are relative to the actual time setting on the server which we CANNOT change or see. [I have screwed up server time settings at other institutions which does cause emails, for example, to arrive before they were sent Rolling Eyes

]

2. Your PC and/or your email client/service may be treating emails from this board as junk or spam, in which case you may never see them.

3. It can take what appears to be hours between time of post on the board and receipt of email (according to email time stamp) that you view in your email client. My email server for example sits in Cupertino CA and time stamps my emails with CA time. I reside in MO, Central Time.... toss daylight savings into the same confusing bucket and there are times when I know not when I am.
