Hey, just wondering...

When I post in a thread, or start a thread, I am "subscribed" to it and get any future posts in that thread e-mailed to me. (Right?)

If I get an e-mail, I ALWAYS click on the link, even if I get several a day. But after a few e-mails, the notifications stop coming to me even if people are still posting in that thread. :shrug:

Is there a "time limit" to how long you are subscribed to the thread? (It seems like I only get e-mails for a day or two at most.)

Is there a reason why I would just stop getting e-mails, even if I am supposedly subscribed to the discussion thread?

I'd love to keep getting the notifications. When I stop getting them, I have to go through all the threads AGAIN and see if there are any new posts, then I have to respond or re-subscribe again to continue getting the e-mail notifications. Which then stop again after 1-2 days at most. :bugeye:

What is going on? Can anyone help?

I dunno Will. You seem to have it setup correctly so it should keep sending you emails notifications.

I really don't know how to trouble shoot this. I'm going to subscribe to a popular thread and see if I'm getting them. I'll get back to you.

Thanks, Kid! I appreciate it. :)

How about posting some stuff in the Hot Stove League thread so I can test this stuff out?.

So far so good. My inbox is being cluttered with notifications from SFGF. :mad:

We'll see. I have a feeling somewhere along the line we may have a case of "pilot error" but I'm just sayin' Will. :D :p

We'll keep tabs on this and I'll keep reporting back.
