E-mail message notifications?

[JohnW2]

Yeap it works

Thanks.

No. I only tend to watch threads when i am requesting info. Or the topic is of good reference

Oh, fair enough. I have things configured so that I automatically 'watch' any thread I post to, so I rather assumed that's what most people do.

I sent an e-mail to admin about this a couple of days ago, but have not yet had any reply.

Kind Regards, John

Maybe they aren’t getting notifications.

Maybe not, but if I don't get a reply soon, they're going to be receiving some more e-mails, even if not 'notifications'

Kind Regards, John

That's not the Wiki - it's the ('locked') 'Wiring Diagrams for Lighting Circuits' thread which has been essentially 'obsolete and broken' (with 'broken' images, for all of us) for years (as you will see, the last post was in 2011).

Kind Regards', John

I wasn’t aware of this issue.

I think it might be due to many of the images being hosted on photobucket from the days of old, and possibly links which didn’t transfer properly from the old forum software.

I believe many of the images are still available in the wiki, so when I get some free time I will copy these images, upload them to the DIYnot server and edit them back into the posts in the sticky.

I’m not sure why you aren’t receiving notifications. I will mention this to admin and get him to take a look.

Thanks. However, as I've said, I think that sticky is pretty obsolete (and is largely duplication in the Wiki) and I recall that BAS, and others, more than once called for it to be removed (and anything 'unique' in it transferred into the Wiki). It does seem odd that this one 'topic' was given an existence of its own, rather than just being with everything else in the Wiki.

Thanks. As I have said, I e-mailed admin a couple of days ago, but have yet to have a response.

Others don't seem to be experiencing the same, so I suspect that the problem is specifically in relation to sending e-mails to me. My ISPs spam filter used to have a habit of sending 'bounce' messages to senders, suggesting that a message 'could not be delivered' to me (whereas it had actually just been put temporarily into 'quarantine') - and automated systems (including my bank's, one one occasion) sometimes stopped trying to send me e-mails when it got those bounce messages. I thought I had put a stop to that behaviour, but maybe it has recurred.
