Do you want email notifications? I made a thread not too long ago because they were driving me insane. Someone told me to make a fake email and problem solved :D

If you actually want a sea of emails then I can't help you sorry lol :p

I guess it could be a number of things.

1. Like someone else mentioned check your spam filter settings. Usually adding the email address will let emails from that sender go through without a problem. If you are having a problem, who is your email service provider?

2. I suppose the massive amount of emails that need to be sent out could overload the server.

It seems like there have been problems lately but it will get streightend out sooner or later. I personaly have the notifications sent to another email i dont check and use the user cp to see what threads have had some activity. [Warning, make sure you put in a real email address which u have access to incase you ever loose your password]

Theres alot going on behind the scenes of atvriders and with due time eveything will be worked out. You can only do so much at once.

I wasn't getting them for the longest time on my Roadrunner account but they would show up on a Yahoo email account. I thought for sure there was a spam filter at the Roadrunner server. I worked with Harlen and the Roadrunner IT guys and ultimately the problem was with the the forum's database. The problem came, left for a short time, then came back again. I suddenly started getting the email notifications again and it's been fine for months now.

QuadJunkies
03-16-2007, 03:40 AM
Ok... now Im not showing all my subscribed threads either!:mad:

I have been a member since 2002 and never had anything major happen with notifications but maybe once, and it cleaned itself up aftera few days....

Once in a great while, Ill get topics from a few years ago that I will tumble across that had replies and I got no notifications, but not NONE....

Ive tried a new account with no luck so I give up.:ermm:

Ok here is my temporary solution. SIGN UP FOR A G-Mail account. If you dont want to use it thats fine. Just have g-mail foward the emails to your current email address.

Here is how you do it. I wrote it so even my grandma could do it so many of you wont need to do the whole step by step thing.

G-Mail fowarding explanation is all the way at the end.
____________________



E-Mail Notifications:

-Some People prefer to receive and e-mail every time somebody responds to a thread they have posted in. Unfortunately this function is not working correctly with every e-mail provider. If you are not receiving you e-mail notifications, and you are certain that the notifications are not ending up in a "spam" or "bulk" folder you may do the following.

This should only take about 10 Minutes to complete.

Get a G-Mail Account:

http://www.atvriders.com/images/forumhelp/gmaillogo.jpgG-Mail is free and easy to use. It features great search features for your mail just like the Google search engine and it also provides you with incredibly large storage capacity. The best part is that it is free and G-Mail accounts have no problem getting the ATVRiders.com E-Mail Notifications.

Heres How you do it!

Sign up for G-Mail (http://mail.google.com/mail/signup)

Once your are all signed up with G-Mail go back to the ATVRiders.com Forums and click on the http://www.atvriders.com/images/forumhelp/usercpbutton.jpg button to go to your control panel.

Next, Click on the http://www.atvriders.com/images/forumhelp/editprofilebutton.jpg button.

Update the E-Mail field with your new @gmail.com e-mail address.

!Go to the bottom of the page and click on "Submit Modifications".

Now Click on the http://www.atvriders.com/images/forumhelp/editoptionsbutton.jpg button and find this field:


http://www.atvriders.com/images/forumhelp/emailnotificationsyes.jpg

Select "Yes" for E-Mail Notifications like the picture shows.

!Go to the bottom of the page and click on "Submit Modifications".

You will now receive email notifications in your G-Mail account telling you when somebody posts in a thread you have posted in or created.

Don't want to check multiple accounts?

I understand you may not want to check multiple e-mail accounts.

If this is the case, log into the GMail account you just created.

Click the "Customize" button http://www.atvriders.com/images/forumhelp/gmailcustomize.jpg in the top right corner.

Next Click on the "Forwarding and POP" Tab and enter the e-mail address you would like your e-mails to be forwarded to. Then Hit "Save Changes" [SEE BELOW]

http://www.atvriders.com/images/forumhelp/gmailfowardsettings.jpg

Your E-Mails, Including ATVRiders.com Notices will now forward into your preferred e-mail account.

i dunno about that but most forums i get 1 email until i check it and then another for anything new.

For this forum i have email notifications sent to an address i don't check since i would get like 30 emails a day in my normal account.

I just use the User CP to keep track of active threads
