Notifications on new PM's?

Hi,

I used to get an notification on my personal email whenever someone PM'ed me here in the forum (yes, I do have that option checked "Yes" on my "Global Settings"), but apparently those notifications stopped - as in I am PM'ed here but no notification shows up in the mail.

Does anyone else noticed this problem?

Thanks,
A.

Nope, at least not when I got my last PM 3 or 4 days ago.

And it gets weirder...

Later in the day I put up this thread, I got a warning in my email stating I had a PM here in TFF.
I've checked, it was a message from a friend (included in my "friends list"), and I though that perhaps it was some settings option that might allow "friends" to get a warning in personal email, and would deny it to everyone else.
But the theory went down the drain just as fast, as today I got another PM from the same friend and no warning was sent to my personal email.

Bottom line, I got a couple of PM's in the past days, both from "friends list" and others, and from those only one PM issued a warning to my email...
:-?

Email problems could be in the other side too, the email account. Some providers aren't very reliable, and others are "spam happy".

Yeah, that occurred to me, but since I've never had any issues like this in many years I was looking at other possibilities.
But thanks anyway!


Cheers,
