Stopped getting emails for subscribed threads
For the last few days I haven't gotten any emails notifications about new postings in threads I am subscribed to. This includes the C8 General discussion thread, the Off Topic>Off Topic thread and the Off Topic>Photography thread, as well as many sub-threads. I haven't made any changes to my browser and my email is otherwise working normally so I thought I would check here first.
Any reports of this problem from other members or is it strictly a "me" problem?

@J T I'm not getting mine either. Can you help? Thanks!
Have you checked your provider's web-based Spam/Junk/Bulk folder? You may need to log into their web-based portal as it may not be transferring to your Spam/Junk/Bulk folder if you're using a program to download your emails.

@J T Nothing from CF is in my spam folder. I have been trying to resolve this for a while, but all I have been getting for almost a year is PMs. Don't know what to do from here. Thanks again for your help!

@J T - I am still not receiving any email notifications from the various forums I am subscribed to. I used to receive at least a half-dozen daily, now nothing. I also check my spam folders every day and have never seen anything from the forum there. Could you take a look at whatever you reset for me again?
Thank you,
Mark

@J T Any other advise? Like Mark, I used to get loads of daily emails from CF. Thanks!
If you're using a program to download emails, that program needs to be configured to also download the server's spam/junk/folder otherwise it will be a local spam/junk/folder and not sync with the spam/junk/folder on the server.
Another option is to log into the web-based email portal for the provider to check that folder.

@J T Could you please reset my email responses one more time and see it it trips again? I sent you a PM last Tuesday with my email address. If it does trip again, please check the emails that bounce back as "addressee unknown" to see if they have the correct email address (in my PM).
I'm still trying to figure out why I'm having a problem. I haven't changed anything in my email setup and I'm not having any problems with anyone else, just the Corvette Forum. Any help or suggestions you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark

Our emails are working normally and we have no bounce backs from your email.

We have no bounce back notices from your email address. All I can think of is they are going to a spam/junk/folder.

I have used my Android phone, iPad, and desktop computer to check spam folders. Nothing in them for the forum.
I just changed my email to my Gmail account to see if that clears up the issue. I received the confirmation and activation emails.

Besides that, there's not much more we can do besides point out that some providers (Yahoo being one of them) filter emails without their customer even knowing that they are deciding on what emails reach your mailbox or not.
