Unable to set forum to send me email notifications of replies

When I receive a reply to a post, I don’t get notifications. I have to remember to keep checking the forum for notifications.

This is what I’ve done to try to solve this.

  • User control panel > Board preferences > Notification options > ticked everything in both “Notifications” and “Email”.
  • User control panel > Board preferences > Posting defaults > ticked everything “Yes”.

The problem is that in the last one, when I press “Save changes”, the screen refreshes as if it’s saved. But, when I revisit the page (e.g. I refresh the page), the last option, “Notify me upon replies by default”, is turned back to “No”. (See the screenshot.)

I have tried to find if there is something on a thread where I can explicitly subscribe with email, but I can’t find a way to follow a thread at all, much less how to choose how to follow it.

How can I fix this, please, so that I receive email notifications of replies to my threads and posts?

EDIT: I have just found the menu at the very bottom of the thread! For some reason, I’m not subscribed to my own thread, so I’ve subscribed. I won’t know if this answers my question until someone replies!

Replying to see if you get notified.

Thanks for replying, John.

Unfortunately not :frowning:
Neither of your replies (you replied to another thread of mine) has come through.

I have checked my spam folder.

So, I changed my email address to a Gmail one (Gmail would work, right?). I tested by sending an email to myself from my Profile, and still it wasn’t received several minutes later.

So, I don’t know what else to do.

Interesting. I am getting emails

Yes. I don’t know what to do about this. I’ve tried two different emails, which I did verify. Maybe I have some incorrect setting hidden away?

Oh, well.

Hello,

I have the same issue of error in saving changes.
I can’t be notified for every post, but I can click on “Send a notification” under each thread, and it works.
Is it a bug ? Are we alone ?
I’d like to be notified for all thread where I write…
:?
