USABILITY ISSUES / URGENT PROBLEMS - Email Corey

[WebmasterCorey]

Hi Gang,

If you see something jacked up, you can email me directly at corey @ disneyinfo.com. If it appears broken for more than 15 minutes, I need to be made aware of the issue. If you email me, I can drop what I'm working on to fix it.

Thanks!
Corey

I almost never get emails on my watched threads. I always click the send email Button. If i unwatch then watch I might get 1 email but then nothing.

The system isn't designed to send endless emails. You have to visit the thread again to keep getting additional notifications. Or you can click on "mark forums read" and your emails should start again.

I have not received emails to my threads or threads I subscribe to in a long, long time. Just stopped one day and that was that.

After i watch a new thread, I do not get 1 email. It has nothing to do with me visiting a thread To keep the emails coming. When I used to get an email I always visited the thread and would keep getting new emails. Now nothing.

There are other in this thread with the problem.

The email issue often depends on your email provider. Unfortunately many will automatically put it to SPAM and never deliver the email to your inbox. There was a post by WebmasterAlex a while back explaining this.

I was hoping that would fix it for you. Unfortunately it probably means your email provider has decided they are spam and there's nothing you or DIS personnel can do.

There is a fix that has worked for a while for me:

1) set up a throw away email account somewhere like gmail (use a service other than the one you have now).
2) change your DIS email address to that new provider.
3) set that email account up to forward all messages to your main email account you are checking daily.

My email server eventually does the same with the new email address but I typically get 4-6 months out of the new account before it happens again.

Off to do it again for me since I haven't gotten any emails for a week or two (yet again).

Signature images are disappearing again. Images are mine, and hosted on Photobucket, and were fine up until around noon today. Now, just the red x's.

Options not working when making a post. I can't use any of the options for font, links, add photos, emojis, etc. All of it is shaded out and won't let me do anything with it if I click.

What is going on? Please help!

Thanks from me also, Corey. I use Firefox on my phone and that was not working for me either. Now it is. Thanks again.
