I am subscribed to a few threads and have chosen "instant notification" for when someone replies to the thead. I am not recieving any notification though. I always have to go back and check each thread to check if someone replied. How do I fix this?

Thanks:)

As far as I know the instant notification applies to private messages - you get a little popup letting you know you have a message. I think the only notification of replies to posts are via email. I could be wrong though - I'm still learning some of the features of this site too :)

What area of your cp did you choose the "instant notification"?

Yep

I think that it is supposed to send e-mails when someone responds to a thread and the funny thing is, I just got one when you replied to this!

but then I did a test and replied to a thread I started in 'diaper chatter' (what to put 'in' a prefold) and I didn't get an e-mail about that one.

hmmm

I don't think you would if you replied, only if somebody else replied. Also, once you get one, it won't send anymore until you've looked at the thread.

would you mind sending me a test in diaper chatter on my "what to put 'in' fitteds" thread?

I did get an e-mail that you had responded so hopefully I will get one if you respond to that thread.

Thanks!

thanks!

I got an e-mail that said that you replied but a bunch of other people replied too and I didn't get an e-mail about that:confused:

Then a few people replied to a post about my new superman diaper and I only got an instant notification about one of them.

hmmm

OK I just saw this

There may be other replies also, but you will not receive any more notifications until you visit the forum again.

so I think that everything must be working now!

So sorry to take up your time. Thank you so much!

Could they be getting eaten by a bulk folder? I get mine :)

just fyi

I messed around on my user CP and I get all of mine now. But for ocfb16 it would be a good idea to check in your junk mail folder.
