I've stopped getting email notifications for PM's and subscribed threads again. I've checked my settings and junk box. Other forums are fine. Is anyone else having this issue or is it just me? :confused:

Notifications for PM's aren't working for me, but like Dave I'm not too bothered.

On the positive side, not having email notifications seems to mean that the forum software stops disabling my account every couple of days.

So even if not having notifications is a lot more inconvenient than it ought to be, it's still less inconvenient than having my account disabled twice a week. :)

Same here, windows 10.. if that makes a difference?

Having issues with Pm's ingeneral I think, I don't believe I'm receiving all messages or my sent ones are reaching.

Everyone should be ok now, finally got it sorted a couple of days ago so all should be well now...

I've just checked your account Ged to make sure you've not been cut off already :D

Hi Tony,

Thanks again for fixing the account again. :)

It's really weird how it will let me log in, and see my PMs, but not let me send any PMs or post in threads.

You'd think that has to be a bug, or at least a design flaw, in vBulletin. If you can see your PMs you'd expect to be able to send them.
Do you know if it's been reported to them?

I'd have thought if a user's email address for notifications has been considered unusable by vBulletin then the logical approach would be to flag it to the user when he logs in, and allow him either to confirm it or change it.
That would take pressure off the site administrator(s), instead of adding to it.

Cheers,
Ged.

Yeah, I agree, there's a few issues like that with the software, we're looking at alternatives to vBulletin and will probably upgrade or move to an alternative in this coming year, it's a little clunky. There's about 4 accounts that have the same sort of issue as yourself, although no where near as frequently.
