Email notices

Wagtail · Mar 25, 2018

And no email notices today either.

Same here .. (Vista, Opera, gmail) .. dunno which causes the issue, pretty sure it's browser not working well with mail client or settings not with TBN.

(I'd rather use Opera to log in than FF w/ABP ...)

Computers/software are transitory and nothing special. I have no other problems ever with TBN .. other than shortage of time to enjoy it more.

Here is a problem, using Chrome here, the avatar didn't show up?

the old grind · Mar 25, 2018

Opera, not chrome. No Chrome for this 32 bit Vista Home Basic Sp 2 OS. (Dell Lattitude D830) I thought it was only me who couldn't see my avatar.

I like several Linux versions but browser upgrades aren't always Win-easy even with apt-get/pkgs.

IIRC I have Chrome on a Win 7 laptop or two. Exporting bookmarks isn't always seamless for me, so I still use this and an ancient Dell (sgl core 1.5 GHz) with W2K that't outshines my (ugh) XP laptop and towers. (Quad-core dual boots to Mint 17 .. :thumbsup

I'll see what I can patch up on another 'box', hope to ditch this Vista clunker and go back to towers for the front office.

Xfaxman, thanks for the heads-up on my avatar! t o g

Uh, turns out that I couldn't upload a .3mb pic from URL but could easily do so from a desktop file, so I was able to fix the avatar on my home page.

btw, and sorry to digress, but the Palmgren rotab on the right of the mill's table also has X & Y feeds on it, so it's redundant on such a mill, but could be very handy in learned hands for quickly centering work to drill circular patterns on a drill press.

Now back to 'My Home' to what threads we've missed since this morning. :laughing:

Xfaxman · Mar 25, 2018

Yep, your Avatar is showing now. :thumbsup:

("Also, what's the opinion of these new-fangled "Instant Pot" contraptions? Are they better than a slow cooker?")

Depends if you'd rather eat it or smoke it. For the past year my email notices have been hit and miss, sometimes I get them and most times I dont, makes it hard to remember who I'm arguing with.

Soundguy · Mar 27, 2018

i havn't seen a notice for years.

Wagtail · Mar 27, 2018

Still not receiving any TBN notices on my email. It's not a 'biggie', but it is something that isn't working that used to.

PILOON · Mar 27, 2018

Well I get notices of posted follow ups to subscribed threads but never get PM's.

Xfaxman · Mar 28, 2018

I sent you a test PM.

Check your Home Page to see if they are shut off.

I take it that you sent that PM to PILOON. I checked my inbox & a new message from you wasn't there... neither was an email alert received.

Now that I think of it, I didn't receive an email alert when Muhammad sent a PM to me asking for my address (5M contest). The message was in my TBN messages inbox though.

I've gone through my account 'set-up' and ensured that all is correct there.

Yep, his post was the one before mine.

Every few months I get a TBN featured articles email, but havn't received reply notifications or pm notifications in years.

most likely it is your ISP black listing and filtering the email as spam. AT&T (yahoo ) does that real bad

PILOON · Mar 29, 2018

I get posting updates daily.
It is just the PM notices that don't show up.
I checked my general settings and all is checked on OK as you show.
In the past I rec'd PMs OK.

Must be some program update that killed that specific function.

Wagtail · Mar 30, 2018

Well, no posting notices or PM notices are being received by me. I'm not really complaining, just informing.

I do get the occasional TBN Newsletter but can't remember if it's monthly or seasonal.

Wagtail · Mar 30, 2018

UPDATE! I just received 21 notices and, earlier this morning, the March TBN newsletter.

We'll see how it goes...

Wagtail · Mar 30, 2018

Plus another 46 notices just now... the logjam has been broken.

Interesting to think that these emails were sitting in a queue, waiting to be released.

---------------------------------------

And another 43! WOW.

mddorange · May 14, 2018

I haven't received email notification of subscribed thread updates in a long time.

I went to the settings to verify it was still marked to get them and it was.

I also tried using a couple of different email addresses but that didn't help either.
