Instant e-mail notifications have stopped being sent

[DarkScythe]

I dunno. Last I recall, when they did something or other with the gallery last time, my, and a bunch of others' accounts suddenly ceased to exist.

 

[Takhisis]

They what.

You must have been one of those whose posts were all suddenly turned into Guest posts. Interesting.

 

[Nightinggale]

And yet no email telling me that people replied here
It's clearly not working yet, but it might be too busy sending out old emails to take care of the new ones. I did check my spam folder now and found an additional 200 emails.

 

[DarkScythe]

Yeah. I was one of those whose posts became guest posts. It was.. an interesting time.

I would imagine that if the system literally just became unclogged, it will take quite a while to even "catch up" to these current posts, considering you're getting stuff from a year ago.. that likely means others are too, and some people are very active.

Yeah, it's happening to all of us mods as well. Not sure of the reason yet but I am sure that someone will post here when it becomes clear/one of the admins figures it out.

Mine are still coming with this note:

This message may not have been sent by: thunderfall@gmail.com Learn more Report phishing

So things are not yet fixed. These notification weren't in my spam folder (yay) but I'm still getting phishing warnings.

EDIT: I found 261 CivFanatics messages in my spam folder. The other message actually was spam.

I got messages notifying me about PMs that I received anywhere from a couple months ago through a couple weeks ago over a span of about four minutes this morning, then got what appear to be the exact same notifications over again over another span of four minutes about twenty minutes later. I say 'appear to be' because even though they seem to be the same messages something is different because the first round gmail filtered as spam and the second round they didn't.

Good luck with that.

Best, Tim

I got an email telling me about this reply and the mail has the same timestamp as the post.... imagine that something that simple should be awesome, but right now I think it is.

Now the question is if it will stay this way and for how long it should do that before we can trust that it actually works.... time will tell.

Another two from the exact same day in mid-December have just come through. Apparently someone tried to PM me several times in the same day and I didn't clear my inbox until I found out later that day when they got through to me on another website. Nice.

I hope these recently sent Instant notifications means that this is here to stay!

 

[Lefty Scaevola]

Maybe it means that Atomic Gamer has rebooted a sever with the control on it, and has not remembered to shut them off. I have not seen any communication from them about it.

 

[Valka D'Ur]

Notifications have stopped again.

 

[Melda]

Notifications have stopped again.

I just received a notification about your post.

All my notifications are going straight to Spam folder, though.

I'm using Gmail.

 

[Valka D'Ur]

I'm using Gmail as well, but am not getting any notifications anywhere.

 

[Melda]

That's weird. I've been receiving notifications consistently (all into my spam folder) for the past few weeks (maybe month?).

 

[Nightinggale]

I feel like email notifications have been an on/off feature for the last 12 hours. I only get some of the mails, but not all of them.

 

[Bill Bisco]

I'm not getting anything despite instant notifications being on

 

[Valka D'Ur]

I wasn't getting any for awhile yesterday, but they seem to back this morning. In the spam folder, naturally.

This has now been going on for over a year. It got annoying over 11 months ago.

 

[Melda]

Yeah, I realised my notifications stopped about two weeks ago. Grr.

 

[Melda]

So notifications were back when the site was briefly on (and so as hell).

Now the site looks like it's back properly, what's the verdict?

Notifications?
