I'm not sure why your message didn't allow replies -- I think that section is set up that way for some reason.

Anyway,  someone in one of my forums was having similar problems with the email notifier, which suddenly stopped.

I posted a question in several forums about the email notifier, and a number of other people say it died this week.   And the links to New Messages to You, on the forum screen itself, may not be working correctly either.

Has anyone heard any news about fixing the email notifier?  People are still complaining.

Patricia:

In The Court Reporters forum, we've had a short correspondence with someone who wanted details such as e-mail addresses of those affected and screen shots. We still don't know what to take a screen shot of, but we're collecting all the other data we can think of. If you want to start a similar discussion in your forum or just pile in on ours, it's up to you. Then have your forum manager or owner alert the powers that be to track the discussion.

We've had quite a few people say nothing works for them, and one who gets his e-mail alerts just fine. No clue why!

Ask the member to take a screen shot or shots if the list is to long of their settings in My Stuff.

Just a shot to prove that No is unchecked, or the entire My Stuff page, do you think?

Hi, Tim!

If you view the source of a forum web page, you will see

<!-- Mzinga, Build 5667.142 (Wed Sep 9 10:21:23 EDT 2009), WEB146 0 wait -->

Presumably the email notification was broken by the September 9 update of the forum software.

  Regards,

           Don

Tim,

If this screen shot is intended to be delivered where I think it is, the entire My Stuff page might be best so that an analyst can look for anomalies.

email notification has been broken for most members since long before September 9.

You know, Don, I have checked out the source of pages here occasionally, most recently when I was starting to see lots of <P> </P> codes in posts by people using Internet Explorer. Didn't really tell me anything, though, because the build was dated at that time for March of '09, as I recall, and the "seeping HTML" was -- what? -- a July or August phenomenon.

Here's hoping the IE issue has been fixed...

Doug:

Whatever it is that was needed, what we've posted is apparently sufficient for now, according to a post by Kim W. in that discussion in The Court Reporters forum.

Interesting in that discussion that one member reports he still continues to get his e-mail alerts when so many around us are not.

Possibly so, but in many of those cases, we've found individual reasons for it.   In this instance, it happened suddenly to everyone else.

Last night, we discovered a possible connected change that only Staff can see, so at least Mzinga now has a place to start looking.

Yeah, but from the way he worded his message, I'm not convinced that he's talking about the same thing we are.

Did you get one from me?

Woohoo!   Could it possibly be fixed that quickly?  That would be awesome.

I have it turned off;  I hate the damn thing.

Oh, and hey, I'm going to be turning it off too as soon as we know it's stable. I'm far too active in the forums to absorb all the e-mail I'll soon be getting.

Indeed.   I'd actually be able to watch my email list scroll, if I used the notifier.

Hi, Tim!

I just got an email notification too, so it looks like the problem may be fixed.

I noticed the same thing, mine isn't working either. It did work last week, but not this week.
