I noticed over the last several days I haven't been getting email notification on many of the threads I subscribe to, including threads I started. And I am not getting notification of PMs either. How come? How can I fix this??????............P
 
I've noticed this too. And the threads I start or post to are also not listed in my User CP where I ususally go to check things. I can only find them if I do a search using my user name. It's been driving me nuts.

Go into your user CP and make sure that your email is checked on in your options:

Use 'Email Notification' by default?
Using this option emails you whenever someone replies to a thread that you have participated in. check this yes

Send you an email when you receive a Private Message? check this yes.

A couple of weeks ago the board admins changeds everyone's default to NO because there were so many bad emails, and WAY to many notifiers were bouncing back to the servers. By resetting everyone to NO, it allowed olny those who really want the emails to reset their option. I think it was a great way to weed out the invalid email IDs.
 
I guess my problem is slightly different. I do get e-mails for the old continuing threads, but since the boards switched, I am not subscribed to any new threads that I respond to or start. They do not show up in the User CP, unless I specifically hit the subscribe button. I used to be automatically subscribed to posts I responded to.

Erika, if you follow the steps I outlined previously, it should fix the problem. They shut off the notifier at a set time, anything you were subscribed to before stayed, any new posts or threads were defaulted to no email, thus no subscription. It is a tad confusing.
