Super User Hi Salenity Posted January 30, 2014 Super User Posted January 30, 2014 Is everyone else getting email notifications to posts/threads? It doesn't look like I'm getting email notifications when someone replies to posts? I checked in my settings and it looks like everything is still set correctly? Quote

Assume you checked your spam/junk folder to make sure things aren't getting thrown in there by your email provider? I've been getting emails fine so far. 1 Quote

Super User Hi Salenity Posted January 30, 2014 Author Super User Posted January 30, 2014 I've always got mine before? I'll look on my PC and see if it's just a new Apple thing? Quote

Nothing to do with Apple or Microsoft, but if it is flagged as spam, that's due to filters (either from your ISP, Google, Yahoo, Hotmail, or whomever your email provider is). However, if you're using Apple Mail on a Mac, it will flag stuff as junk that bears similarity to mass mailings, etc (spammish) and flags it. You will want to mark it as "Not Junk" in that case. Most email clients (platform agnostic) have such features... Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted January 30, 2014 Author Super User Posted January 30, 2014 It's gmail and I may have something wrong there Quote
BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted January 30, 2014 BassResource.com Advertiser Posted January 30, 2014 If your on the NEW gmail, then it is probably in your promotions tab Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted January 31, 2014 Author Super User Posted January 31, 2014 I just changed to my other email so I'll see but that should fix it until I figure why I'm not getting them through Gmail? Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted January 31, 2014 Super User Posted January 31, 2014 My settings have not been changed to my knowledge, but BR emails are now being directed to my spam folder. Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted January 31, 2014 BassResource.com Administrator Posted January 31, 2014 That's odd. We haven't changed our emails either. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted January 31, 2014 Super User Posted January 31, 2014 It is quite possible that your email providers/email clients have updated spam algorithms. They're always having to adapt to the spammers who are always trying to find ways around the blockers. In the case of BR emails, it may be that something in the raw source is being flagged as spam...though not spam. Spam fighting is kind of a shotgun blast as opposed to a laser. Collateral damage, if you know what I mean. Select all the BR emails and say "not spam" or "move to inbox", etc. You can also create a rule in your client to never send these emails to the spam folder... Hope that's helpful. Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted January 31, 2014 Author Super User Posted January 31, 2014 Changing emails worked. If I get some free time this weekend I'll dig through my Gmail and see if I can find the lost notifications. Quote
