View Full Version : Delayed thread notications?

Has anyone else has had delays with thread notifications coming through recently? I've got instant notification turned on, but I've found the last couple of days that the emails are coming through 24 hours or more after the message was posted.

Same thing happened to me a week or so ago as well, didn't receive any for a couple of days and then a whole backlog came through on the Monday including posts i'd already read so there were multiple emails for the same thread etc.

Just wondering if there might have been a hiccup with the forum server sending them - could the forum be near a bandwidth limit and the hosting co has blocked emails maybe?

Otherwise it could be my ISP causing the delay but the rest of my emails seem to be ok, so perhaps they are spam filtering the forum messages and then letting them go through later...

Nope I've noticed it too today with PMs as well. Going to pass it along up the line to admin so they can chase it up with the hosting to see what the problem is.
Cheers,

Yep, PM notification has the same problem, I raised the question last week but got no response so I deleted the post.

Someone rebooted the server or turned the smtp service back on me thinks!
