Is it just me? I am not getting e-mail notifications of posts that I have subscribed to...or posted onto.
I have re-checked my notifications settings under user settings....

Is it not working at all, or is it something in my account?

Also, there is not indicator showing threads that I have posted onto.

Makes it very hard to go back to a thread and follow up.

By the way, my logon is not persistent anymore. I can log on, check the "remember me" box, and the next day, I have to log on again.
Used to not be that way.

I think the blank emails are supposed to be letting you know that a topic (formerly called threads) that you're subscribed to has gotten a new post. The iboats server used to only notify me once the 1st time someone posts in my subscribed topics. Then until I actually log on & go to that topic, I wouldn't get any more notices, no matter how many posts are made or how long it takes for me to revisit that particular topic.

Now I think it's every time someone posts. Tough to find which topic, but I can generally muddle thru it when I want to take the time to do so. Usually don't. Just wait & surf thru the forum sections I'm usually active in & see what's been posted. Then view the topics that have gotten recent posts.

However, I've also noticed a much longer lag between the time a topic receives a posts & when I'm notified. Was only a minute or so, now it might be as long as 15min (typically) or longer (fairly often).

Just another forum software glitch left to be sorted thru I suppose, and it still continues to improve daily.

I used to get a daily digest in each subscribed thread. Not so much now. Even my own thread.
