Sorry to chime in but I'm having the same problem. No daily emails from Classified Ads and the Turners forum for weeks. I cleared cache, checked my "daily notification by email" check box, and have noreply@sawmillcreek.org added to my Address Book. I use Comcast for my email. What other things can I check?
I am still not getting the daily emails about classified either. I would really like to get instant updates whenever there is any new post or comment but since that isn't an option I don't care about the daily updates.
I am gmail user, tried everything in this thread, no luck...
all settings are right....
they have always been right, I used to get notifications, but they stopped for no reason...
I noticed this problem happening many times over the past 10 years, it works, it stops working, etc.
A strange thing is, when I go into subscriptions, I notice none of the boxes are checked for 500 threads that were subscribed to through the years. when I check a few of the boxes, I then leave that section and come back, the boxes uncheck themselves, that seems to be the problem, I would think....
I looked at your profile and your email settings all appear to be correct. I cannot see which threads you are subscribed to, but you should be getting emails from what I see.

I would suggest checking your gmail settings in advanced mode as gmail may have blacklisted a site without your knowledge due to all the emails being sent from SMC.

Hi Lee, thx for response, and thx to your tireless work towards this site, I cant imagine what it takes!
As u looked at my settings, all was set right... it has always been set right cause over the past 10 yrs, as chk in occassionaly with moderators. I DO get email notifications as I should. When it does work, it works successfully for a month for two. I never re set anything, and then notifcation emails just vanish.
It is NOT my gmail settings, as I have whitelisted noreply@sawmillcreek.org by moving the responses to the Primary inbox, so they always end up there and are never treated as spam. In addition, the first thing I do when I realize notifications has failed again is to run a search for that email address to see if any of the email notifications ended up in spam, trash, etc, That has never been the case.
More importantly, since I made this post that you responded to, with no changed settings at all (unless u changed something, but u would have advised me of such) this morning your response showed up in my Gmail Inbox? I have not touched SMC settings in a week. I have over 500 threads which I am subscribed to, all checked. Often I go visit those threads and their is constant activity, which I do not get email notifications of. As I mentioned, this problem has been consistent for over 10 yrs, I go through the same checking procedures every time the problem presents itself. Usually I just surrender...
So, why would this ONE single thread we are in, suddenly appear in my Inbox, but NONE of the other threads? That may provide a clue to the problem? thx again...
one last thing...
I mentioned previously, the one oddity, which could lead to a solution is...
this problem is consistent... when I go under subscriptions, check the box, for one, or ALL the subscribed threads, those boxes have check marks in them...
when I leave, go into another areas, then come right back to subscriptions, all boxes are unchecked. Is that normal? I would think not. It seems the website is NOT holding the check boxes once the subscription page is exited.... thoughts?
There may be a limit of 500 threads.
I will ask Aaron to check on it.
Thx Keith...
I appreciate the contribution, interesting...
but this problem has been consistent over the past 10+ years since I joined, and I surely had way under 500 threads subscribed to, as I only had about 530 now... I never got around to deleting subscriptions, as they just die off, as no one responds to old threads at some point.
But I was curious, so I individually deleted subscribe threads (no way to delete full pages of subscribed threads?), reduced it to under 500, and would then check a box for a few, leave that page, come back, and those check marks are gone. I have always suspected this is the root of the problem, I dont mean to belabor the point... maybe you can confirm this... should the boxes remain checked at all times, till u uncheck them?
