Why do I not get notifications for 'Let's write a limerick' and 'Three Words'? I subscribe to both. There is no way to enable this in settings that I can see.

it seems to have all gone strange the last few weeks, I'm not getting email notifications on everything that I post on like I used to, so now miss some of the comments, but it's coming up on my profile instead, which I don't want... prefer an email, read it, delete if I don't want to reply, click on the link then delete if I do want to reply..... hmmmmmm hope this doesn't end up like facebook, you just about learn how it all works, then they change the rules just to confunctions us :spin:

If you are getting notifications you don't want, can I suggest (don't know if it will work but worth a try). Click 'settings' top right hand side, then general settings (left hand side), then under 'messaging & notifications' then 'Default thread subscription mode' click the arrow and choose 'Do not subscribe' in the drop down menu. Scroll to the bottom of the page and select 'save changes'. Please let me know if this works.

thanks for that... i've got this option "When you post a new thread, or reply to a topic, you can choose to automatically add that thread to your list of subscribed threads, with the option to receive email notification of new replies to that thread." set as automatically receive email, but i'm not getting all replies or added comments sent... is that the norm, that you may get an email notification for 1 or 2 of the replies, but not all of them?

oops changed settings to hybrid to see what that was about.... me no likey, gonna change it back now LOL

I'm going to try something else, click on quick links and chose 'subscribed threads' a list of all the threads you are subscribed to will appear' most of mine are marked 'instant' except the two I previously mentioned. So I've ticked them and then scrolled down and selected selected threads and then chosen 'instantly using email'.................Doesn't work!

Are you saying you tried what you said and it doesn't work?

There are a lot on my list that says "none" ... does the forum programme automatically decide which threads you get email replies from then? .... I can't be bothered to go in and change the settings every single time I comment on something, you'd presume it just does it automatically... which it did initially, it seems only the last few weeks that it's changed....

Yes I tried what I said and it doesn't work, there is no button I can see that says 'save settings'. I don't know who decides things on here Chifleta could be the man from 'Uncle' lol. It's a pain having to do a 'Live search' every time you want to answer a thread you are subscribed to. Hope you get things sorted soon.

When you are in the thread, if you select "Thread Tools" from the menu, there is an option to "Subscribe to This Thread" which allows you to select how you are informed of any action on the thread.

When I select 'Thread Tools' when I am in a thread, I get 'unsubscribe from this thread'


Here's the info on subscriptions in the FAQ.

http://www.tenerifeforum.org/tenerife-forum/faq.php?s=&do=search&q=subscriptions&titleandtext=0&match=all





Where do I fine the 'Forum Tools' please? When I look at my subscribed threads all are marked 'instant', bar 'Three Words' and 'Let's write a limerick' which are marked 'none', how do I get them marked 'instant' please?

KirstyJay
31-07-2012, 19:51
When I select 'Thread Tools' when I am in a thread, I get 'unsubscribe from this thread'Then you are already subscribed. You need to go into your profile and check the TYPE of subscription. If you have chosen to not receive emails for a particular subscription, then you won't receive emails. You'll have to change it manually in your userCP, as it instructs in the FAQ I posted for you.




Where do I fine the 'Forum Tools' please? When I look at my subscribed threads all are marked 'instant', bar 'Three Words' and 'Let's write a limerick' which are marked 'none', how do I get them marked 'instant' please?You find 'forum tools' in the same place as 'thread tools', but on the forums, not in the threads.

Great news :) For future reference, the FAQ contains full instruction for virtually everything on the forum and it's searchable too.

I have put a link to it on the main menu now, so it's easier to find. :)

I am no longer receiving emails for new posts in threads I am subscribed to. I've checked my settings, then subscriptions, all are marked instant, I've tried ticking them all and choosing 'instant by email' but it keeps changing to 'move to folder'. I have not changed my settings to account for the missing emails.:(

The subscriptions, in fact, nothing else, has been changed or even adjusted, and if it only one member that's having the problem, it's either a personal settings issue, or an issue with the user's mail settings as far as I can see... otherwise no members would be getting any mails :)

I've checked all my settings this end and nothing is amiss. I have rechecked my subscribed threads and although I keep marking them 'instantly, by email' they keep reverting back to 'move to folder'. I think the problem lies with TF. Is there no one in Admin or Or Mods who can fix this problem?

Well I've tried something different. I unsubscribed from all threads, then subscribed to only 6 threads (individually). I still cannot get the notifications to change from 'move to folder' to 'instantly by email'. I am told there is nothing wrong with my settings on here, but there must be. Strangely I did receive a duplicate email from the forum this morning re adverts. Have also added TF to my safe senders list.

To recap, I don't get email notifications for any threads I am subscribed to on here. I am a member of several forums, and this is the only one I have problems with.

Hope you get things sorted soon. ok,after I said that I won't bother until one of you lot sorted yours first hehehe i've just been into my settings, and click select all and clicked on instant email... so we'll see (not holding breath) ... but again to question AGAIN (though I will read through the rest of this AGAIN... how come some of the subscribed threads say "NONE" basically not giving you an option to recieve any type of notification... I know i've been out of work for a couple or 3 years, but surely i'm not THAT brain dead, I mean I did help manage a busy office during 13 years over here, which was no mean feat I can tell you .... below I have copied and pasted from my Subscriptions bit in my account a couple of examples:

Just to let you know, it looks like the email notifications are all filtering through together (that was a shock looking in my inbox this morning LOL), so there was definately a blip somewhere, and it affected more than one of us.... anyhoo, i'm getting notifications today for posts/replies (like your one here) that were posted 5 to 7 days ago..... strange huh?

Sorry to contradict you Mike, but all is Not ok. Yesterday afternoon I got an email notification-----------from the 24th Aug and last evening I got a few
more from 24th -28th. Today I've got about a half a dozen more (out of date), and this is really getting tedious. I use three different computers, in three
different locations. Help!!

UPDATE: I've now got 15 out-of date emails this evening in total, and I haven't changed ANY SETTINGS at all, at all, at all, on any computer that I use, and one is Govt owned and one is council owned, and the other is mine.

f you have started getting notifications then it has been corrected.

We have been checking settings since the first report and thought we had fixed what we could.

Am I to understand that you are not happy because you are receiving old notifications now that the problem seems to be solved?

I have spent upwards of 3 hours, over the past few days, checking and tweaking settings and can still find nothing wrong.

I appreciate your hard work Slodge, something must have worked because I had a feast of 33 emails this morning from the 28th August. I am not complaining, it's a simple thing to delete the old ones; eventually we will all be up to date, once the newest ones arrive. :respect:

I've received 2 emails - 1 yesterday and 1 today for private messages I received over a week ago! Ah well, a bit like Royal Mail... they got there in the end!! :p : D :p

Thanks for taking the time to do that Slodgeie. The last few days as follows: Today so far ....about 25 out of date 'notifs' about 15

yesterday and less that 6 the day before, and about 3 the previous day..........NO current......all out of date.:hello:

we couldn't either LOL especially as, by the sounds of it, none of us had even touched the settings..... from what I can fathom, it' happened to at least 3 of us when our titles changed to Super or Mega Tenerifian.... I love technology NOT

It's going to even it's self out at some stage, but at the moment I must have received in excess of thirty emails for posts that are over a week old. Hey ho either a feast or a famine. :D

i didn't get a notification for this one, but thought i'd reply anyways, yes, I got quite a few, but at least with the email notification I can just delete once i've read if i don't want to reply.... saves having to scroll through loads of stuff :)

still a bit annoying if we have to go into our settings and change ALL the threads that we thought we would automatically get immediate email notifications for... I only did page 1 of however many pages i'm linked to/should be recieving...

concurr too to the thanks to Slodgedad, we do appreciate the help... personally I didn't think anyone was doing anything because you said previously that there was nothing wrong TF end and nothing wrong our end unless we'd changed settings, which we hadn't (at that time, though I have been in and changed things since, though personally I don't think that even changed anything).... anyhooo, we are not complaining that we are now recieving too many emails, just stating a fact that we are recieving lots of emails with OLD posts.... it'll hopefully just sort itself after a while... the shame is that someone may have asked any one of use something important and we haven't replied because we can't look at all threads every day, if you know what I mean :)

Mind you, no one would ask me anything important, as i just waffle on most of the time LOL :-D

Kirsty and mods, there are a few wee anomalies that occur and people tend to report them on the thread they comment on, or now, this one. Maybe an "Anamolies" thread could let all mention the wee glitches for investigation, cant all be fixed at once, but at least you could probe one at a time? Examples; notifictations for some posts, not others ( if its something we are doing wrong, we dont know), change to a thread title (eg Bojangles got split, still appears as Bojangles in the dialogue boxes) . Not earth shattering, not critisism, just as the forum gets busier (im sure you have noticed!!) you know of them as they happen..................;-)

The problem has been, Sean, that since the big upgrade and setting up of the new Forum, a lot of the established add ons and apps, that we had learned to live with, are not compatible with the latest version of the software we use.

Ah, simple you may think, but whenever one job is done in the database it has a knock on effect to something else.

It would have been so much easier to start from absolute scratch, but we would have been silly to do that

Thanks KJ. Before the 'notif' problems arose, I would get a notif like this


First few lines would be in standard black print....blah de blah has replied to a tenerife forum thread to which you have subscribed. followed by the message. After that would come the URL of the message in blue.......to go direct to that exact msg.

After that would come some small black type, telling me that if I want to unsubscribe, to click on the following blue URL
All ok so far. Around the time that notifs started going missing, there was a change to the way these things happened.

Sometimes when I opened a TF notif email, and was getting ready to click on the first blue URL, the whole message would change (in a flash) to one paragraph of small print, and one blue URL ....almost exactly where the original blue Url was On one occasion on at least 1 occasion I may have probably unsubscribed. This would only explain a tiny part of the problem and may have happened to Chifletas problem regarding one thread only. Not sure if this helps, as it shouldn't've meant shedloads of back notifs.:wave::wave:
