Pm notification delay via Email
I know this isn't a big issue or maybe it's just me but i thought it'd be best to ask.
Is there anyone else getting a long delay of PM notifications via their email box?
I get email notifications everytime i get a PM here but lately i get them randomly and sporadically through the day. Sometimes even a day later. So unless if i come here directly, i won't know if anyone's pm'd me.
I only really care because i check my email more frequently than i check the forum. And with sales and trades, i'd rather keep people waiting.
Like i said, it's no real biggie. If it's just my email being stupid, then i'll try to change my email with the board and see if that helps.

Same problem here. Just a minor PITA (since were "acronyming" everything. lol). I check my email far more frequently than I check my swirl (shocking, I know...).

mystery issue indeed. I'll change my email in a bit and see if that works then report back here.

Re: Pm notification delay via Email
okay, changed my email, if anyone wants to pm me to test...or hmm, wonder if i could pm myself.
and for what it's worth, i was using a yahoo email. I just changed it to a gmail/edu one.
*edit update* changed emails...go fish. self pm'd myself and got nothing. guess its a server issue or something of that sort.

It looks like the board's settings are all set up correctly, must be something to do with the server which I don't have any control over.

Re: Pm notification delay via Email
I looked at your account and couldn't see anything that would cause it. Perhaps your e-mail has a spam filter? I've been getting PM notifications..
I think if you've got the forum open you won't get any notifications as it assumes you've already seen the PM.

Re: Pm notification delay via Email
happens to me all the time. this site sicks. mods read my pm's. i downloaded a reverse phpbb script to see what the mods do regarding the page upgrades to the main site. I don't have access to change anything just view what happens, if you need me email me too.
