anyone else not receiving topic notifications anymore? i'm not receiving anything with either PM's or topic notice's....used to get them in my email, and i have it checked off in my control panel to receive them.

I don't have any topic subscriptions so I don't know about those, but I do get the PM emails. Check your junk mail folder maybe?

just checked.....they went to the spam folder...not sure why, as they always went to my inbox.

Every once in a while, a pm notification goes to my spam as well. gmail.

yeah, i'm with gmail too.....and i got a notification for that last reply...thanks for replying X ....lol

the most recent one I got also got sent to spam. gmail as well

gmail must 'recalibrate' their spam filter every so often.

If you don't always open them or open them, click the link, and immediately delete them, it tricks GMail into thinking you don't care.

ahhhh, maybe that's it.

I'm not surprised, but I don't have that problem - no doubt because I filter Brewnosers.org messages directly into a brewnosers folder.

GMail's spam filters work extremely well for my style of use (I don't remember the last time I found something in my spam folder that shouldn't be there, and only occasionally see spam in my inbox, though it's catching 200 spams a day - way down from my high of a thousand), but it doesn't surprise me at all if it's too aggressive for some users.

I am quite happy with gmail too, I rarely have a problem But I have pretty much have stopped using Yahoo!mail because of their horrible spam processing.

I probably find a message every other month that wound up in spam by accident, and maybe one every other week that squeaks into my inbox. This is partly thanks to my generous roommates in second year who took the liberty to sign me up for every freebie on the internet. When I check my spam it's a mix of that and emails originating from people who still use hotmail.

Getting notification emails this morning from threads that were updated yesterday. Interesting.

Mine have been going to spam as well (gmail, yes). I selected a bunch of them and marked them "not spam" and I've since received some.

You should be able to setup gmail to never mark that email address as spam.
