Hello,
I have this issue with the forum:
I have this topic "kill a certain process", 2 replies and no email notification.

Yes, i don't sign out.

Check out this thread:   http://www.computerhope.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1168208080/35#35

Yes, i see
I'll wait and check it myself. Or it is a solution ?!?

Could it be because i didn't press the link in the email? I have Opera browser and it auto opens last pages, so sometimes i press F5.

Another issue at the signature, it don't let the word *censored* alone:
"You *censored* sadist, you try to make people think!"

[Dan_Me]

dammn
It changes m with r in that word only.

If it is that you are not receiving email notification of new posts in a thread to which you are subscribed,  then yes -  the solution we found is described in that thread.

Could it be because i didn't press the link in the email? I have Opera browser and it auto opens last pages, so sometimes i press F5.

In the notifications that I get, it says,  "Unless you have specified otherwise, no more mails will be sent until you view the topic"

It does not say that clicking the link is required.

I never click link.  I copy-and-paste.

Really i didn't get the hint to solv it, you've made a lot of testing, could you please write it here shortly?
By the way, you are sure you - WillyW - are now receiving mail to every thread you responded or are subscribed to?

Edit your profile to change the email address to which you are having the notifications sent.
In other words, you need another email address to work with.

After you make the change,  send yourself a PM,  just to test it.    
Get a notification for it?

Edit your profile again,   to change the email address therein back to whatever you started with, if you so desire.
Send yourself a PM.   Get the notification?

Wait for somebody to post in a new thread you are watching.   Get the notification now?  

Changing,  then changing back,  worked for me.

By the way, you are sure you - WillyW - are now receiving mail to every thread you responded or are subscribed to?

Not sure about the threads to which I subscribed before I fixed it by changing.
Since then though,  it seems to work fine.

Hey...  I got an email notification of your post in this thread.  

[Dan_Me]

I didn't do anything right now but sending to me a message and an instant reply arrived, in just 1 maxim 2 seconds time. Could you reply now to test?

I believe exactly this was covered in that thread that I already gave you a link for.
Did you read that thread?

[Dan_Me]

Yes, raffly, difficult to follow thread. So we had same ideas. OK, I'll switch emails. I'm ready, all done, let's see if it's working now, i'll wait posts.

You sent yourself a PM?   to be sure the board will send emails to your 'new' email address?

let's see if it's working now, i'll wait posts.

Here you are.  

[Dan_Me]

You sent yourself a PM?   to be sure the board will send emails to your 'new' email address?

PMs worked before. (i think i've sent, the mails are ok, no doubt)
Yessss, it works now, i've got a mail (title, start, etc also took my script to a finish
Thanks

That wasn't the point.

Yessss, it works now,

Good.   Glad you got it working.

[Dan_Me]

Yes, it works again.

[WillyW]

I may have lost it - email notifications of new posts in subscribed threads -  again.

Would someone be kind enough to make a post in this thread, so I can be sure?    I'll check back shortly.

Thanks

Here Ya Go...

[WillyW]

Here Ya Go...

Thanks.

Not sure what 'normal' is,  for elapsed time for the emailed notification to show up in the inbox.
I'll give it at least 5 minutes.   That should be enough time.

If no show,  I'll have to try changing my account's email address, and changing it back.

[WillyW]

Patio -  are you still hanging around?

Can you,  or anybody else reading,   reply to this?
Let's see if any improvement.

I changed my email in my profile, and sent myself a PM.   Never got it.

That's different from the last time...  PM notifications never failed before,  it was only new post notifications.
Sent myself another.   Never got it either.

So,  changed my email back to the original, and PM'd myself.   Haven't gotten that one either.    

Now with a reply from you or anyone,  let's see if I get a notification of new post.
I have a bad feeling about it.

Testing.....1.....2........

[WillyW]

Testing.....1.....2........

Got it!  

And the first two PMs finally showed up too...  at the same time as the notification for this last reply from you.

Something must have been holding them back, and they all went out at once.   In the past, they arrived within a minute, just like this notification about your last post.      

Thanks!        

[patio]

Here's another.

[patio]

And another....
