My forum timezone is incorrect. It's got me in Central Africa (UTC +2), and while I'm sure that's a great place to visit, I'm on Eastern Standard Time (UTC -5). When I try to change it and hit save, it fails and I see the message: "The language you specified is not valid."

Any ideas?

Same issue here. Seems [img] is disabled in the signature.

Spam clear. No emails for inbox or forums I am following. Confirmed they are still marked as being followed.

This is all ok, but I've seen cases where I didn't see the second email anywhere on my inbox, but did stop receiving updates from that thread. The thread was still marked as subscribed. Had to unsubscribe and resubscribe.

so
1. after two new messages, the forum stops sending emails
2. these two emails may get lost somewhere
3. a thread showing subscribed doesn't mean the forum didn't decide to give up.
Before the upgrade the forum emails came through as you described. Once you went to one of those forums and read the last post it seems to clear/reset the email tracking so you would get a new email for that thread after the next forum post.

Currently I am getting zero forum emails and zero PM emails, yet both are getting new messages.

I am trying a test on this forum thread. I cleared the tracking for this one and resubscribed. Maybe they all need to be reset. I will report back either way. For the missing PM emails, I will probably try the same thing to reset the desire for getting those notifications.

Neither test resulted in any emails from the forums yet, so it definitely looks broken for at least some of us. Maybe it is just the www.waze.com/forum servers?

Just noticed that same thing here on iPad.

After nearly two weeks of no emails from the forums, I have received two this morning. Maybe whatever was broken is now fixed because I did not do anything different on those two than I did for any others.

(Edit: I am now getting many email so it all appears to be normal again.)

I was getting PMs from many people, but never saw an email. Or are you saying the email bug will now only clear after you get a PM?
