After the site was taken down and put back up, I stopped receiving email notifications....

You're not the first to report this, so I'll look into it.

Have you received any e-mails at all after the update? I received topic update e-mails Friday, but none since then. I made a change to the database on Saturday that I think might be the culprit.

Jay said: I received topic update e-mails Friday, but none since then. I made a change to the database on Saturday that I think might be the culprit.

That sounds about right for me too. I'm glad I'm not alone, to be honest. Even YOU aren't getting them. That seems even weirder!

This sort of thing happened to me on another forum, but got resolved after some tweaking. I'm sure it'll be fixed in time here, too. :)

Well, it was two days of notifications every time someone posts in the thread, and the 'ESB and ROTJ Wishlist', 'Adywan's Episove V' and 'Prequel Radical Redux whatever' threads generate a massive amount of responses. It happens every time Igo away for a day, too.

If it was the old days of 2 MB storage on Hotmail, I could never do it. I'd have to switch it so it only shows the oldest reply.

I've had 3 updates since Friday, two at once soon after PMing Jay and one this morning. So we are still having problems, some of us.

Check your preferences to make sure the notification setting is what it's supposed to be. The form was broken and I posted a fix.

I've been receiving all my topic updates and PM notifications as expected.

I confirmed that the settings are the way they are supposed to be got one random message.

Just thought to check my spam filter, which I have hidden on my gmail.  Hello my friends!  How I've missed you!  Odd that they started going to spam, odder still that some would get to my inbox.  Sorry about that.  If someone is using Gmail and having this problem, check out the spams.

EDIT: everything is coming in great now.  Some IT guy I am, huh?

When I tested the site contact form using my Gmail account, I found the messages in my spam folder also. Perhaps it was the massive pile of e-mails the server dumped on Monday or Tuesday once we had the mail problem fixed. If Ripplin had almost 200 messages waiting for him, I'm sure quite a few more went out, which is a red flag for spam.

Glad things seem to be back to normal.
