instant notification not working
I get private messages, but not "instant email notifications" on topics Im subscribed to for last 5 weeks. Its not a Corvette Forum issue because it happens on another forum too. Didnt make changes to my email and checked all settings know to me. Any idea?

The first thing I think of is whether your e-mail provider "learned" something and has determined to put these into your spam or junk mail folder. When receiving lots of e-mails from "similar" place, some software learns and considers it to be spam.

Are you not receiving the notifications that you think you should be? Then check your junk/spam folder.
Are you trying to delete the subscriptions? If so click the check mark on the right of the ones you don't want, click the dropdown below that and select delete subscriptions, then press the button.

Yahoo is just an example, your e-mail client may be different.

Do you log onto your e-mail from the web? Do you see a spam folder?

I ask because your registered e-mail account on the forum is with earthlink and that account is where the subscriptions should be going.

Thanks for the reply. I checked my junk folder and spam folder, but forum notifications still arent getting through. Went to my yahoo acount and removed all filter etc. Still having the same problem as of today. Should have gotten a message from them stating message issues and rejected emails, but dont. Any other ideas?

Are you checking your e-mail thru the web or are you using Outlook, Outlook express, or another e-mail program from your computer?

According to our company tech service, all email is functioning correctly. My work email is supported by an exchange server and uses Microsoft Outlook 2003. The Yahoo account I mentioned isnt used anymore, although oddly I was still able to log on.

He said it's happening to him for OTHER forums as well, so...
