Default Anyone else not receiving email notifications for thread subscriptions?

I noticed a problem 3 days ago, when I only received about half of my usual F150forum.com email notifications (I'm subscribed to dozens of active threads at a time). Then 2 days ago I only received 3 emails (a trickle), and none yesterday or today. But when I login here, I see plenty of active threads that should have triggered email notifications. I verified my email address (wasn't hacked), made sure my settings were correct, checked my spam and trash folders, and can't figure out why I'm no longer receiving email notifications from this forum (I'm receiving notification emails from other forums just fine--just this one is giving me problems). I am subscribed using a gmail email account in case that is relevant.

Anyone else having issues lately?

Now that you mention it, yes. I am. I received no emails this morning and 4 had new posts. And i would get random emails one at a time for new threads. Just like you, i used to get them all at once around 4 in the morning. If i could get an explanation, id be happy.

I have gmail too, but it was fine for me until a few days ago.

Whew, glad it's not just me and I'm NOT going crazy! Do we think the problem is with this forum's server/settings? I'm getting notifications for about 20 other forums so I don't think it's gmail.

[EDIT: This may be a clue... I subscribed to this thread using "instant notification" and I received an email on my gmail account! So the problem may only affect daily notification emails that used to come in the early morning hours.]

Maybe... but i have doubts. I recieved an email for a thread i posted to at 8:24 am. I recieved an email for it at 9:33 am. And not to mention, if that was trhe case, all the threads i am subbed to would have had to changed automatically... and sometimes, i wont ever receive an email for a thread i posted on...

One more thing: I am set up for daily notifications, not instant.

Me too, I've been setup for daily for years, and only manually subscribe to a few (like this one) with instant. The instants are working for me, not the daily anymore.

Thanks! Hopefully we'll both have an influx of F150forum notifications tomorrow morning!

The notification thing has been a known issue for some time here. I was told its my email service provider (yahoo) and its being worked on. It is getting annoying to say the least.
