For that post, 188 (all) subscribers have been sent email notifications, and 21 people (11.17%) have opened the emails, so the emails are being sent. I don't know why you and others are not receiving them. Maybe your email provider is flagging them as spam before they even get into your junk folder. Is this the same for you for Monster Toy Blog notifications Sbell? Both sites use the same plugin now.

I get the MTB ones.

Also, strangely, I don't get DTF emails when I'm quoted. I'm going to check my settings.

If you're receiving the MTB ones then it's probably not your settings. My wordpress settings are identical on MTB and DTB. The only difference is the sent from email address, and possibly the server settings. But they are working in principe, as some people are receiving them.



EmperorDinobot

I confirm that I only got MTB posts, and late, too. Not the Education Ankylosaur.

Not even in Spam.

SBell

Yeah, I don't get email for any of the threads that I have set to notify. I used to.

Well I haven't changed any forum settings at all so I can't explain why you aren't getting forum emails. Maybe my hosts have changed a server setting. When you say you used to, do you know roughly when it stopped working for you?

I think it's been a few months. The 'best figure according to Halichoeres' thread just suddenly stopped showing up.

The blog emails only stopped a couple weeks ago

Is everyone facing this problem using Gmail? https://wpmailsmtp.com/fix-gmail-blocking-emails/

I'm on yahoo. I get blog notifications. But I don't get any tag notifications anymore. I haven't for ages. (Unless that's changed in the last few days and one hasn't been due in that time.) I'm getting these subscribed thread notifications.

Mine is Gmail, yes.

DinoToyForum

I've changed a few forum setting, let me know if it helps.

The blog is still certainly a problem. Many but not all email clients think the incoming notification emails are unsolicited spam and block them completely. So I need to find a fix for that.



Halichoeres

I'm not subscribed to blog updates, but I use gmail and haven't gotten an email notification in quite some time. Not even for messages.
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

Okay, I *think* I may have identified and resolved the problem, which was related to DNS records, SPF, Cloudflare, and blah blah blah. I was just able to receive a test notification at my Gmail. So, fingers crossed notifications start working again across the blog and forum. I will resend a notification for the Brachiosaurus Funko Pop! now to all subscribers as a test. Check your inboxes and junk please! If it works, sorry if it is a duplicate for some of you.

Wahoo! You don't want know how many hours I spent on it this weekend. Just glad the effort paid off! O:-) Now I know the fix I'll implement it at the ATB/F as well.
