    Notifications of what, exactly? It really depends on your settings. Fiddle around with your user CP and you should be able to get notifications.

    A little help here people - Ive gotten better service from NTL :mad:

    NTL support staff are probably rostered to work shifts for which they get paid. We don't.

    Anyway, I told you: fiddle around with your user CP. If you want updates about specific threads, you have to subscribe to the thread using the thread tools drop-down just above the first post. Then it gives you the option to receive instant, daily or no email notifications.

    That should do it for you. If not, it's possible that emails are being filtered into your spam folder.

    The boxes should only be ticked if you need to use the dropdown menu below the boxes to move to different folders, delete subscriptions etc. They will not show as ticked when you return, this is normal. Why are you ticking the boxes?

    You will not receive notification (afair) if you post on the thread, only if someone else does.
    and NO - they are not in junk email
    Gmail is working fine for me as are thread subscriptions. If you aren't receiving any emails from now then maybe you should speak to your email provider, if it was a little while ago, then they could have been switched off temporarily as we were trying to pin down some performance issues.

    Hope that helps :)

    I believe it is because you are banned from adverts, That generally breaks a few features on boards.ie for you.

    Can I have it fixed please?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,628 ✭✭✭Asok


    Currently there is no fix that I am aware of, It will start working again when your ban from adverts expires.

    So its not actually "broken" - rather punishment ??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,628 ✭✭✭Asok


    It is not a punishment by design more a flaw in the adverts system that is not very high up on the list of things to fix.
